For example, at Galeta Point Beach in Panama (ASTM, 1968) the weight loss of carbon steel plate (lOx 15 cm) during 2 years exposure was 336 g (= 1.5 mm year" ) compared with 7 g at Detroit (=0.03 mm year" ). 

Test equipment for this series of tests is shown in Figure 3. A 55 gallon drum was modified by the addition of a steel plate halfway down the drum. The plate was pierced by a valve and by a tap to allow pumping of liquids out of the reservoir. The steel plate was sealed with a silicone sealant around the perimeter of the plate. Contaminated soil and reagents were added to the drum by weight. The drum was then covered and a vent line attached between the drum and a carbon filter. A heat tape was wrapped around the drum, and the entire drum was insuiated with fiberglass. 

Finally, to expose the lower plenum, the core support floor had to be raised and removed. During construction of the plant the core support floor (CSF) as installed weighed 270-ton. The CSF is a five-foot-thick, 31-foot-diameter, concrete structure encased in a carbon steel liner. Since the CSF was radioactive, steel shielding plates were positioned on top of the floor prior to its removal with a hydraulic jacking system (Fig. 7). Shield water in the PCRV protected underwater divers who entered into the steam generator ducts that went through the core support floor. Once inside these ducts the divers had to cut their way out to access the underside of the CSF. Once under the CSF the divers were used to sever all connections so it could be raised and removed. The CSF, due to the added weight of the shield plates, the attachments on the underside that had been cut and any entrained water...
