Publication InformationManuscript Completed: August 2006 Principal Investigator: J. Dallman Prepared by D. Chen, K. Howe L. Archuleta, F. Sciacca B.P. Jain, NRC Project Manager AbstractFive tests conducted in the Integrated Chemical Effects Test (ICET) project
apparatus attempted to simulate the chemical environment present inside a
pressurized-water-reactor containment water pool after a loss-of-coolant-accident.
The chemical environment within the tank included boric acid, lithium hydroxide,
and hydrochloric acid. Trisodium phosphate, sodium hydroxide, or sodium
tetraborate was added to each test. The tests were conducted for 30 days at a
constant temperature of 60°C. The materials tested within this environment
included representative amounts of submerged and unsubmerged aluminum,
copper, concrete, zinc, carbon steel, and insulation samples (either 100%
fiberglass or a combination of 80% calcium silicate and 20% fiberglass by
volume). Representative amounts of concrete dust and latent debris were also
added to the test solution. Water was circulated through the bottom portion of the
test chamber during the entire test to achieve representative flow rates over the
submerged specimens. Test solution pH ranged from just over 7 in Tests #2 and
#3 to just over 8 in Test #5, and it reached almost 10 in Tests #1 and #4. Test
solution chemistry varied from test to test, depending on the starting conditions |
