General Atomics EDS draft final report (including preliminary results of tests in progress at the time this report was prepared) (General Atomics, 2001)... 

The EDS tests evaluated a number of different Uners for the reactor interior. Initially, General Atomics had proposed using a platinum liner for Demonstration I testing. However, because a platinum liner could not be fabricated on the Demonstration I schedule. General Atontics used a Hastelloy reactor with no liner during the Demonstration I testing. Serious corrosion of the SCWO reactor resulted, a problem that had been identified previously (NRC, 2000). 

The ACW II Committee was briefed on these tests on February 8, 2001, and a report was provided to the NRC shortly thereafter (General Atomics, 2001 Hong, 2001). The log for the 500-hr tests is reproduced in Appendix B. The results are discussed as part of the committee s evaluation of the GATS technology package.
