1957 - NR Corrosion and Wear Handbook

This handbook, sixth in a series on basic reactor technology sponsored by the Naval Reactors Branch of the United States Atomic Energy Commission, is devoted to problems resulting from the use of water as a heat transfer medium in a reactor plant.

The Handbook is organized in three parts.

• Part A gives background information and general principles for the benefit of engineers and scientists who are encountering for the first time the problems associated with the-use of high purity, high temperature water as a reactor coolant. This information is intended to help such persons evaluate new problems encountered in this field.

• Part B of the Handbook contains tabulated data and detailed information for use as reference material for actual design work. Numerous references to additional data are also included.

• Part C of the Handbook contains material on special types of corrosion and application problems involving wear.
