Creators

  • 1. N.V. GKN, Dodewaard, Netherlands

Description

The possibilities to further decrease the hazard of explosion in the off-gas system of the Dodewaard Reactor have been explored. In particular, the properties of Explosafe, a filler material, have been investigated. As a result of the investigation, the use of fillers in the off-gas line has been abandoned and replaced with other passive measures
