Significance and Use5.1 Activa

15、ted carbons used in containment systems fornuclear reactors must be capable of functioning under bothnormal operating conditions and those conditions which mayexist following a design basis accident (DBA). Adsorbent bedsthat are part of recirculatory systems inside containment maybe exposed to the p

16、eak pressure, temperature, and steamcontent of a post-DBA condition.5.2 Carbon beds outside containment will be protected byfast-acting shutoff valves from the sudden rise in pressure,temperature, and humidity of the containment atmospherewhich would exist following a DBA. However, some rise intempe

17、rature and humidity will be experienced even by bedsoutside containment if they are reconnected to containmentafter the initial pressure rise (due to escape of steam into thecontainment volume) has been reduced by containment cool-ers. The amount of radioactivity that can reach either type ofadsorpt

18、ion system is conceivably quite high; hence, there is apossibility of a bed temperature rise due to decay heating. Thegaseous radioactive contaminants of most interest are organiciodides. In this test, CH3I is used to typify the performance ofthe carbon on organic iodine compounds in general. The te

19、stdescribed here provide a reasonable picture of the effectivenessof an activated carbon for organic iodides under normal andpost-DBA conditions. The equipment and methods describedcan be used, with discretion, for similar tests at different gasflow conditions and, to some extent, on different gaseo

20、usradioactive contaminants and other adsorbents.6. Homogeneity Requirement6.1 A batch shall be considered homogeneous if the appar-ent density of each of three grab samples differs by no morethan 63.0 % from the average value of all three determina-tions. Failure of this test requires rehomogenizati

21、on.7. Performance Requirements7.1 Each batch of impregnated activated carbon shall con-form to the following performance requirement: use the Methyliodide efficiency test (See Test Method D 3803), at 30C, 95 %relative humidity, and a minimum percent specification of97.0 %.8. Physical Properties Requ

22、irements8.1 Each batch of impregnated activated carbon shall con-form to the requirements for physical properties prescribed inTable 1.9. Sampling9.1 A representative sample shall be obtained from eachbatch using the methods prescribed in Practice E 300 inquantity sufficient to perform all of the te

23、sts prescribed hereinin triplicate. A 2-L sample is usually sufficient.10. Number of Tests and Retests10.1 Each batch test specified in Section 8 and Table 1 shallbe performed at least once on each batch of carbon unless thetest method prescribes a greater number of tests.10.2 If a single test from

24、10.1 fails to meet the specificationvalue, the test may be repeated two additional times. Theaverage of the three determinations shall meet the specifica-tion. In addition, the coefficient of variation, n, for the threedeterminations shall not exceed 65.0 %:where:n = 100 s/ X %,s =(13X2X!22% efficie

25、ncy units,X = percent efficiency units, individual sample, andX = percent efficiency units, average of three samples.11. Test Methods11.1 The test program shall conform to the test controlrequirements of Section 12 of ANSI NQA-1.11.2 The test methods used to determine the physicalproperties and perf

26、ormance capability of the sample shall bethose prescribed in Section 8 and Table 1.12. Quality Assurance and Inspection12.1 The producer or supplier of impregnated activatedcarbon furnished under this specification shall comply with theapplicable Quality Assurance Requirements of ANSI NQA-1as identi

27、fied by the users specification.12.2 Inspection of the impregnated activated carbon shall beagreed upon between the user and the supplier as part of thepurchase contract.13. Rejection and Rehearing13.1 Impregnated activated carbon that fails to conform tothe requirements of this specification shall

28、be rejected. Rejec-tion shall be reported to the producer or supplier promptly andin writing. In case of dissatisfaction with the results of the test,the producer or supplier may make claim for a rehearing.14. Certification14.1 The producer or supplier shall certify to the user asfollows:14.1.1 The

29、impregnated-activated carbon comprising the lotwas produced using the same manufacturing procedure andequipment as that used to produce the impregnated activatedcarbon submitted for the original qualification tests.
