In-situ testing of carbon filters at Ontario Hydro's nuclear generating stations

  • 1. Ontario Hydro (Canada)

Description

The current test procedure to determine the need for change-out of carbon in Ontario Hydro's nuclear station filters is the ASTM D3803 radioiodine retention test. There are concerns over this laboratory test procedure and even greater concern over the representativeness of the sample. Consequently in-situ test procedures, using freon-11 and methyl iodide as challenge gases, are being developed. The methods used are described and results are compared to the D3803 test results
