In-Pile Loop Corrosion Experiments with Uranyl Sulfate Solutions at 235 and 250 C (open access)

In-Pile Loop Corrosion Experiments with Uranyl Sulfate Solutions at 235 and 250 C

Report presenting in-pile loop experiments DD, EE, FF, GG, L-412, L-413, and L-418, which were seven of a series designed to test the radiation corrosion of zirconium, titanium, and stainless steel alloys in solutions under various conditions of radiation intensity, temperature, solution composition, and velocity of flow. Steel specimens exposed in the loop cores showed increases in corrosive attack over that expected out-of-radiation.
