Atomic museum benefits from L&A donation
Longenecker & Associates has announced a $500,000 pledge from John and Bonnie Longenecker to the National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas, Nev. The contribution will strengthen the museum’s missions to inform the public about America’s national security legacy and current programs and to inspire students, educators, and young professionals pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

This technical note describes the influence of the transients and corrective additives on the distribution of loosely bonded forms of solid-phase corrosion products between the equipment surfaces and the primary coolant of a naval reactor plant. It is shown that the concentration of loosely bonded corrosion products increases by tenfold during the transient, and the feeding of corrective additives allows a several-fold reduction in the rate of their resedimentation on the internal surfaces of equipment, and as a consequence, improvement of corrosion product removal efficiency by cleanup filters. The proposed solutions allow removal of up to 70% of loosely bonded corrosion products from the coolant using standard filters.
