Abstract
The present invention relates generally to a process for a pressurized water reactor. The pressurized water reactor includes a primary circuit and a reactor core. The process includes adding a sufficient amount of an organic compound to coolant water passing through the primary circuit of the pressurized water reactor. The organic compound includes elements of carbon and hydrogen for producing elemental carbon.
Claims22
A process for a pressurized water reactor having a primary circuit and reactor core, comprising:
- adding a sufficient amount of an organic compound to coolant water passing through the primary circuit of the pressurized water reactor, the organic compound including elements of carbon and hydrogen, for producing elemental carbon.
A process for a nuclear reactor having a primary circuit, comprising:
- adding a sufficient amount of an organic compound to coolant water passing through the primary circuit of the nuclear reactor, the organic compound including elements of carbon and hydrogen, for producing elemental carbon.
A nuclear reactor having a reactor coolant system wherein the reactor coolant system contains reactor coolant circulating therethrough, the reactor coolant comprising an organic additive, the organic additive including elements of carbon and hydrogen, and the organic additive being present in the reactor coolant in an amount sufficient to produce elemental carbon.
