Chemistry Parameters:

The purpose for control of chosen chemistry parameters and a few of the more general methods of controlling those parameters will be elaborates. No attempt will be made to recognize exact values of any of the parameters discussed since of the number of different reactor facilities include, but a summary concerning the bases and general methods used will be involved. For operating values and specifications, users should refer to local facility publications. Further, a few information on tritium is given.

STATE the following for reactor water chemistry.

a. Nine parameters controlled

b. Reason for controlling each parameter

c. Method of controlling each parameter

STATE the possible effects of abnormal chemistry on core conditions.
