Monitoring and measurement of oxygen concentrations in liquid sodium
Description
The measurement of oxygen concentrations in sodium at levels of interest for LMFBR applications has been reviewed. Additional data are presented to support the validity of the vanadium-equilibration method as a reference for determination of oxygen concentrations in sodium at levels less than or equal to 15 ppM. Operating experience with electrochemical oxygen meters that have a thoria-yttria electrolyte and a Na--Na2O reference electrode is described. Meter lifetimes in excess of one year have generally been achieved for operating temperatures of 352 and 4020C, and fairly stable emfs have been observed for periods of several months
