OSTI ID:4235839
A sealing arrangement is described for use with turbomachinery in gas- cooled reactor coolant channels. This arrangement prevents radioactivity in the coolant gas from escaping around compressors and other rotary devices to the atmosphere by passing the gas through an absorber. This absorber consists of materials such as charcoal or silica suspended in solvents such as alcohol or water. (T.R.H.)
