An array of specimens (type 347 stainless steel, zirconium alloys, and titanium alloys), exposed in the Blanket region of the HRE-2 during runs 13 and 14 as well as during some prior high temperature operations, were examined and weighed. The visual observations and weight data are presented together with the chemical analyses of scale removed from some of these specimens. The evidence indicates that the corrosion of the speci¬mens was moderate. Some possible interpretation of the results of the scale analyses as related to core tank corrosion, are also reported.
