Concrete protection from sodium spills by intentionally defected liners, small-scale tests S9 and S10
Description
Two small scale tests were performed to determine the protection against sodium attack afforded to a concrete surface by a defected steel liner. An inert atmosphere was maintained over the sodium pool, which was heated electrically to 16000F for 2--6 hrs in one test, to 13800F for 19 hrs in the other. The 10 inch diameter vertical concrete surface was separated from the sodium by a liner plate in which small defects had been drilled. The plates provided significant protection against direct chemical attack, but most of the water was released from the concrete through the defects to react in the sodium pool region. The liners were corroded significantly in the defect areas. (U.S.)
