Based on operating experience titanium condenser tube along with titanium clad tube sheet have been used for the Tarapur Atomic Power plant. 

There are assessments predicting the use of reverse osmosis for the processing of the wastes from medical application [36,37] and for the removal of caesium-137 from decontamination wastes after accident in the steel production factory [38]. RO is considered as a method for removal of radioactive pollutants from contaminated water (removal of Cs and °Sr) in the vicinity of atomic power plants [39], as well as for removal of small quantities of radionuclides ( Rn, Ra) from... 

The results of the present work may be applicable for diagnostics of oxygen sensors at more complicated applications, such as measurement of oxygen activity in liquid sodium, lithium, or lead-bismuth heat carriers for atomic power plants. Corrosion and mass transfer in nonisothermal lead-bismuth circuits with temperatures of a heat carrier of 300-500°C do usually occur at a concentration of dissolved O2 of 10 - 10 mass %. The proposed impedance method is developed for determining the level and the character of polarization at the electrolyte-electrode interface, which ensures a continuous oxide protection of materials against corrosion by means of zirconia sensors in all tanperature regimes of exploitation of liquid-metal circuits.

A number of serious problems occur in the process of atomic energy enterprises operations that are related to the pollution of certain sites with radioactive materials. The sources of the radioactive contamination of soils are the sites where different atomic objects are located, for example, plants for processing of nuclear wastes, atomic power plants, plants for the production of nuclear fuel and nuclear reactors, and others. Radioactive contamination enters into the soils as a result of different emergencies concerning the storage, transport, and use of nuclear fuel or nuclear waste. Nuclear tests were important and dangerous sources of the entrance of radioactive contamination into the environment prior to their prohibition across the world.

Concrete walls with the capacity to shield against ionizing radiation may be required in atomic power plants and facilities using radioisotopes, X-ray equipment, and the like. 

This requirement could occur for military, utility (atomic power plants), or medical applications. The effects of radiation and sterilization methods are the subject of another book in this series. 

The reactor that first succeeded in generating electricity was not the LWR, which has been commercialized, but the FR. Thereafter in the USA, many FRs such as the Enrico Fermi Atomic Power Plant, EBR-II and FFTF were constructed and operated. Test data have been accumulated from these reactors through R D for core fuel, structural materials, neutronic characteristics of core, safety, and so on. CRBR with 380 MWe power output passed the safety review in 1975, and the construction began. However, the nuclear policy changed during President Carter s administration, and the constmction was called off.

Cathodic protection is widely used in classic and atomic power plants, oil refineries, chemical works, and for the protection of gas and water pipelines and other metal structures. Excellent results are obtained by this method during anticorrosion electrochemical protection of reactors, tanks, pipelines (external and internal surfaces), pumps, coolers, heat exchangers, etc. Con-...
