WATER PURIFICATION STUDY FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE NS SAVANNAH

Results are presented of a study to determine the best method of providing high purity water to the primary systems of the N.S. Savannah's reactor power plant while the ship is at Galveston, Texas. The N.S. Savannah's requirements, quantity and quality are detailed, including requirements for barge and shore facilities, and for fill and clean-up for the spent fuel and mock-up pits. A comparison is made of two water plant designs, their systems and components, and costs. The water plant selected utilizes the demineralization principle.
