BWR Coolant Chemistry Loop
Irradiated in 1990

  • Tested the effects of coolant chemistry on IASCC of BWR alloys.
  • In-core boiling and steam separator in BWR loop.
  • Post-irradiation direct counting of “steam generator” tubing, dissection and decontamination of in-core Zircaloy sections.
  • Evaluate the effect of chemical additives on N-16 carryover.
  • Simulated a range of individual primary loop components with particular emphasis on in-core radiolysis under conditions very similar to commercial BWR cores.
