Nine Mile Point Unit 1 recirculation piping recontamination. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5511220
Primary recirculation piping at Nine Mile Point-1 was replaced in 1982 and 1983. Measurements have been made of the rate of recontamination of the piping system. Piping from two different vendors contaminated at significantly different rates. Assessment of the pipe manufacturing processes and surface examination indicate that sandblasted material contaminates faster than acid-pickled piping. 8 figs., 5 tabs.
