The Relationship of Aqueous ThO2 Slurry Physical Properties of the Engineering Design of a Reactor System (open access)

The Relationship of Aqueous ThO2 Slurry Physical Properties of the Engineering Design of a Reactor System

In a reactor system the principal components affect by slurry properties are the blanket vessel, pressurizer, heat exchanger, and dump tant. The particular properties that affect the operation of these components are: caking, degree of flocculation, foaming, and slime formation. these properties are related to the characteristics of compounds in a reactor system through experience gained in the operation of slurry loops. It is pointed out that the optimum slurry for one component may not necessarily be the optimum for another.
