MATERIAL-EFFECTS OF NUCLEAR RADIATION ON CERTAIN FUEL TANK SEALANTS AND PRESSURE SEALANTS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4690601
Studies were made to determine effects of nuclear radiation at ambient reactor temperature (without fuel immersion and durhrg fuel immersion) upon specific physical properties of 3 sealing compounds, (EC-1610, EC-1520, PR-1422), and 7 other materials. The greatest change in physical properties occurred during irradiation at flux 2 (3000 kw, 20 hr). Of the fuel tank sealants, EC- 1520 appeared the least affected by nuclear radiation. Of the other materials, a carbon black material appeared to be the least affected by radiation. (auth)
