Corrosion testing of LOMI decontamination reagents. Final report. [Low-oxidation-state metal-ion]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5907378
The LOMI (low-oxidation-state metal-ion) chemical decontamination process, by removing radioactive oxides from reactor piping, effectively reduces occupational radiation exposure in PWRs and BWRs. Laboratory tests show that LOMI reagents dissolve oxides without increasing susceptibility to intergranular stress corrosion cracking in the underlying pipe.
