IRRADIATION OF ORGANIC REACTOR COOLANTS IN DYNAMIC SYSTEMS

OSTI ID:4336789
A rate law has been derived for the combination of radiolytic and pyrolytic damage to organic coolants. The equation is dC/d epsilon = -- STAC(k/ sub 1/ + k/sub 2/) -- k/sub 2/, C is the concentra tion of pure organic in the coolant. epsilon is the exposure. k/sub 1/ and k/sub 2/ are rate constants which include a term for the influx to total volume ratio of the loop. The law is based on observations of pure radiolytic damage in the test loop, and the behavior of the radiolytic tars towards heat. (auth)
