Mixed bed deionizers - all 100 areas

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5416199
The use of cation resin beds to facilitate control of moderator pD has resulted in several undesirable phenomena which should be corrected. One of these phenomena is the presence and buildup of anions other than nitrate in the moderator. This risk was recognized earlier, however sufficient information to demonstrate the undesirability of using cation resin beds, rather than mixed beds, was not developed until recently. This memorandum discusses the undesirable effects of using cation resin beds, rather than mixed beds, and provides a recommendation for discontinuing the use of cation resin beds in all 100 areas.
