Protective coatings (paints) for the nuclear industry - approved standard 1974 - (revision and redesignation of N5. 9-1967)

Book ·
OSTI ID:6941969
A standard is presented which provides a common basis on which protective coatings (paints) for surfaces in a nuclear complex may be compared and selected by reproducible tests. The environmental conditions of these complexes are such that a paint may be deteriorated by exposure to any, all, or a combination of the following conditions: ionizing radiation; contamination by radioactive nuclides and decontamination processes, chemicals; immersion in highly purified water; and abrasion or wear. This standard specifically applies to the surfaces of such facilities as reactors, fuel reprocessing plants, and laboratories and hot cells.
