The HRT chemical plant hydroclone loop was operated for 829 hr during reactor run 17 and removed 709 g of corrosion product solids from the reactor fuel stream, The composition of corrosion product solids removed averaged 49% Zr, 22% Fe, and 4% Cr, markedly different from solids removed during run 16 which anaremoved by the chemical plant was equivalent to approximately 19% of the stainless steel and 2.5% of the Zr core corrosion products produced in the reactor during run 17. U removed as a solid phase during this run totaled 200 g. Fission products concentrated by the hydroclone included Ru, Zr, Te, Mo, Ce, Y, and Nd. Less than 2% of the I produced by the reactor was found circulating in the reactor fuel, and there was no condence indicated I is held up approximately one day in the high-pressure system compared with a theoretical down rate.
