US Patent:

49504495, Aug 21, 1990

Filed:

Feb 26, 1988

Appl. No.:

7/160725

Inventors:

George E. Petersen - Fremont CA
Randall N. Robinson - San Jose CA
Carl P. Ruiz - Fremont CA
William J. Marble - Gilroy CA
Barry M. Gordon - Monte Sereno CA
Gerald M. Gordon - Soquel CA

Assignee:

General Electric Company - San Jose CA

International Classification:

G21C 900

US Classification:

376306

Abstract:

Deposition of radioactive cobalt on the interior surfaces of a water-cooled nuclear reactor and intergranular stress corrosion cracking are inhibited or substantially prevented by the continuous injection of zinc oxide to the reactor water. The zinc oxide may be prepared in the form of a paste, a slurry, or a preformed aqueous solution.

Appl. No.:

8/505727

Inventors:

James H. Terhune - San Jose CA
Barry M. Gordon - Monte Sereno CA

Assignee:

General Electric Company - San Jose CA

International Classification:

G21D 700

US Classification:

376320

Abstract:

A stand-alone low-voltage direct current power supply, for use as a battery, which is energized by the decay of a radioactive isotope in response to neutron capture. During this decay, either. alpha. - or. beta. -particles are emitted. The emitting radioactive isotope should have adequate half-life and no. gamma. -emission. The preferred. beta. -emitting radioisotope is thallium, which decays directly to the ground state of Pb. sup. 204 by 763-keV. beta. -decay with no. gamma. -emission. The resulting. beta. -particles are collected to form a current which can be used for various purposes inside a reactor. The preferred. alpha. -emitting radioisotope is americium.

Appl. No.:

8/621673

Inventors:

Barry Monroe Gordon - Monte Sereno CA

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Schnectady NY

International Classification:

G21C 710
G21F 108

US Classification:

376305

Abstract:

A technique for reducing the shadow corrosion effect in zirconium-based alloys caused by. beta. -particles emitted by adjacent components containing one or more elements that emit. beta. -particle flux when activated by neutron capture. The technique entails providing a coating capable of absorbing. beta. -particles, so as to mitigate the adverse effect of. beta. -particle bombardment of a zirconium-based alloy. Preferred coating materials include beryllia, beryllium, tin, zinc, chromium and cadmium. The coatings can be applied to various nuclear reactor structural alloys, such as stainless steel and nickel, platinum, copper, hafnium and yttrium-based alloys containing 0. 2 weight percent manganese or more.

International Classification:

G21C 1928

US Classification:

376372

Abstract:

A method and an apparatus for electrically suppressing electrochemical potential near highly susceptible components of a boiling water reactor. A small self-powered, electrical device is affixed to the metal area to be protected, which device has the capacity to locally suppress electrochemical potential automatically and continuously without provision for external power supplies, cables, penetrations, or other paraphernalia usually associated with electrical and electronic systems. The result is that components susceptible to intergranular stress corrosion cracking are not as sensitive to the details of the water chemistry flowing over them and do not crack as much, or as rapidly, as presently. The new technique is based on the concept of supplying electrons directly and locally to the sensitized zone(s) of the metal, thereby inhibiting intergranular stress corrosion cracking. The source of the electrons is. beta.
