DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNIQUES FOR ATOMIC ABSORPTION ANALYSIS OF THE MIR REACTOR LOOP COOLANT IMPURITY COMPOSITION
Described here are the main features and potential of the atomic absorption spectrometry to perform analysis of impurities in the coolants of the MIR reactor and its test loop facilities. Studied and proposed here are requirements and conditions for electrothermal analysis to analyzemicrogram amounts of manganese, nickel, cobalt and copper ions applicable to simulated water chemistry. Given here are also experimental data on the content of trace components for impurities with regard to different water chemistry and reactor circuits.
