Examination and replacement of electromagnetic pumps from FFTF primary circuits
- 1. Westinghouse Hanford Co., Richland, WA
Description
On November 16, 1984, a leak was discovered in the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF) primary sodium sampling system. The leak occurred in one of two parallel electromagnetic (EM) pumps designed to take suction from the primary system drain tank and pump sodium through the cold trap to maintain coolant purity. The purpose of this paper is to describe the examination of the pump after its removal from the circuit, define the apparent cause of the leak, and give the applications of the examination to future plant operations
