Inconel alloy 617 has been selected as the material of choice for the retort of the furnace for the Tritium Extraction Facility. To monitor retort performance and suitability for continued service, representative sample coupons should be suspended on the inside (process side) and outside (annulus side) of the retort for periodic metallographic analysis or hardness testing. Surface dealloying and hardness could be used to monitor the ``health'' of the retort in this surveillance program.
