Sampling and characterization of sodium-water reaction products

Description: Sodium-water reaction products (SWRP) which had accumulated in the bottom of the reaction products tank (RPT) of the Large Leak Test Rig (LLTR) were sampled and characterized. Analysis showed that the SWRP consisted of NaOH, Na/sub 2/O, NaH, and Na, as expected, in varying proportions. The unreacted sodium in the samples examined ranged from 32 to 60% by weight. The SWRP reacts (dissolves) rapidly and completely with ethanol, and somewhat less rapidly and completely with Dowanol PM. A magnetic,… more

Data processing for the 1/5-scale Boiling Water Reactor Mark I pressure suppression experiment

Description: A description is given of methods used for data reduction and post-processing of reduced data for the 1/5-scale Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) Mark I pressure suppression experiment. Output from approximately 200 transducers, recorded onto analog magnetic tape, were reduced to engineering quantities with an analog-to-digital, COBOL-like conversion code. The reduced data were analyzed with conversational FORTRAN codes and mass-processed for reports with batch-processing FORTRAN codes.
