This report summarizes those studies conducted in 1984 and 1985 which dealt with intergranular attack and intergranular stress corrosion cracking in sensitized specimens of stainless steel 304 and Inconel 600 after exposure to the CAN-DECON LND-101A dilute chemical decontamination process. During this period London Nuclear initiated 3 test programs, 2 under BWR conditions and 1 under PWR conditions. In none of the programs was there any indication that the test specimens were more susceptible to SCC than the controls. The failure times for those specimens that were pulled to failure were essentially the same for the test specimens and controls. None of the specimens exhibited IGA.
