Reactor vessels assessment procedures

Assessment procedure for reactor vessels prior to shutdown... [Pg.31]

Eight samples of un-irradiated reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steel, two each from Trawsfynydd (TRA), Dungeness A (DNA), Sizewell A (SXA) and Bradwell (BWA) reactors were analysed. ICP-MS analysis was carried out using a high resolution magnetic sector instrument. Despite the sensitivity of this method, i.e. lower limit of detection (LLD) of around 8 pg g for procedural blanks, it failed to detect Li and achieved a detection limit of 80 ng g, which was well above the level of interest. However, the results were consistent and did show that the Li concentration was well below that found from the earlier analytical attempts (ICP-OES) and below the levels conservatively assumed in the waste inventory assessments. [Pg.138]
