In May, 1999, disassembly and cleansing of sodium residues contained in the large cold trap (50MWSG) were carried out. Two cold trap units, one from the primary sodium loop and the other from the for the secondary sodium loop were disassembled and cleaned. This report describes the procedures, methods, and tasks under taken in the clean-up effort, including countermeasures for safe handling of sodium. The disassembly of the cold trap was based an information regarding similar cleansing activities external to JNC. There was also same a priori knowledge of the type and amount of sodium-laden residues. As this result, we conducted disassembly and cleansing task as provisionally planned. In fact we learned that disassembly methods for the specific components could be conducted in an aerated atmosphere. We thus gained additional disassembly and sodium cleansing experience under manageable and safe conditions.

Since sodium leak and fire researches have been performed at high-temperatures simulating an accident during the rated reactor operation knowledge of sodium leak and fire at low-temperatures which may happen at Ex-vessel Storage Tank or during the partial power operation of the reactor was very li,ited. Therefore, the present test was carried out to clarify the ignition temperatures and the temperature at which aerosol starts to release during sodium spray, column, and pool fires. Sodium spray and column tests were conducted at Sodiu Fire Test Rig (SOFT-1), while sodium pool test was carried out at Sodium Leak Fire and Aerosol Test Rig (SOLFA-1). The following test results were obtained from these tests. (1)Sodium Spray Test. The ignition temperature was 160C depending upon the droplet diameter of sprayed sodium. (2)Sodium Column Test. (a)Sodium main flow did not ignite, while the scattered sodium droplets ignited. (b)The ignition temperature of the main flow rebounded on a pan was 180C. (c)The ignition temperature of deposits on a pan was 160 C. (3)Sodium Pool Test. (a)The ignition temperature of the static pool ranged from 280 to 315C. (b)Temperature at which aerosol starts to release was determined to be 140 to 160C by visual in spection. (c)After extinguished artificially by closing a lid, sodium reignited at temperatures higher than 80 C when the lid was reopend.
