Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5462965
Results of a test program to evaluate the impact of oxygen injection on the release and transport of iron, nickel, cobalt, copper and zinc in the feedwater system at the Vermont Yankee boiling water reactor (BWR) are presented. Design and operation of the oxygen injection system are discussed. Conclusions and recommendations relative to generic application of oxygen injection for corrosion product control in BWRs during normal operation are presented. Application of oxygen injection to assist in feedwater system materials passivation after an extended outage also is discussed. 12 refs., 16 figs., 5 tabs.
