Hydrogen water chemistry experience in Swedish BWR's

  • 1. ASEA-ATOM AB, Vaesteraas (Sweden)

Description

The first feasibility tests with Alternate Water Chemistry (AWC) in an operating commercial Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) were performed in Oskarshamn 2 (560 MWe) in 1979 (1 day) and 1981 (4 days). In the period Dec 1982 - June 1983 Ringhals 1 (750 MWe) was operating under AWC-conditions during 12 weeks, when several hydrogen injection tests and materials tests were performed. The main chemistry results from these tests will be presented. The consequences of AWC on BWR operation are discussed. These include radiation protection, off-gases, chemistry aspects and the need of additional systems for hydrogen injection. (author)
