AbstractSouth Africa initiated a program to significantly expand its total nuclear energy capacity by acquiring additional Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs) and is currently researching Pebble Bed Modular Reactors (PBMRs) as next generation nuclear energy sources. The result of such an expansion in the current nuclear program will be a need for the disposal of additional nuclear waste. However, as an alternative strategy for spent PBMR fuel, the separation of the spent fuel into TRISO particles for disposal and graphite for re-use in the nuclear industry could also be considered.

Abstract INCONEL FILLER METAL 52 is a high chromium filler metal for gas-metal-arc and gas-tungsten-arc welding of Inconel Alloy 690 (See Alloy Digest Ni-266, March 1981). Higher chromium is beneficial in resisting stress-corrosion cracking in high purity water for pressurized water reactors and for resistance to oxidizing acids. This datasheet provides information on composition and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as joining. Filing Code: Ni-412.
