Summary
Corrosion of aluminum front cap supported shielding slugs has been noted at all reactors except C Reactor which has galvanized shielding pieces. There has been a considerable amount of difficulty caused by sticking of the places. The difficulty is caused by the growth of corrosion products in the annulus around the shielding piece which affectively siezes it. As recently as June, 1953 the shielding pieces on nearly 50 per cent of a group of 40 tubes at B Reactor were corroded to the extent that a pipe wrench was required for their removal. Similar instances, to varying degrees, have occurred at all reactors except C.The purpose of this test was to evaluate the radiation affects of removing the front shielding pieces as part of a program to eliminate the sticking problem.
