EXAMINATION OF LMEC’S T-TD FILTERS FOR PARTICULATE IMPURITIES

摘要

A T-10 filter from the Large Components Test Loop (LCTL) has been disassembled, the particulate matter contained on the filter examined and the vessel requalified for sodium service. A reasonable (one month maximum) turn around time for the filters has been demonstrated. The applicability of HEDL particulate examination procedures to a large filter has been demonstrated and areas for improvement in handling technique have been defined.
