REMOVAL OF SODIUM FROM CORE SUBASSEMBLIES WITH WHITE OIL AND ULTRASONICS
A method for removing sodium from fuel and blanket subassemblies that have been irradiated in the Enrico Fermi Atomic Power Plant reactor is described. In this method, the subassemblies are flushed with white oil aided by ultrasonic agitation, and the sodium is carried away from the surfaces of the subassemblies by the oil. Data gathered from experimental studies of the method are described; conceptual flow diagrams, materials balance sheets and equipment arrangements applicable to the Fermi plant are discussed; and sodium cleaning methods currently used are summarized.
