Nuclear Reactor Sodium Passivation

  • TaskNuclear Reactor Sodium Passivation
Energy Solutions, a world leader in decommissioning of nuclear power plants, needed a company with sodium-removal expertise for passivation of the Southwest Experimental Fast Oxide Reactor in Fayetteville, Ark., which has been closed since 1972. Energy Solutions first contracted with Creative Engineers, Inc. (CEI) in 2011 to utilize its superheated-steam process, where CEI tailored the solution for each secondary-side component that contained residual sodium. After successful passivation of the secondary components, CEI was once again employed in 2017 to passivate the primary side, which included the complex nuclear reactor. Passivation activities were completed ahead of schedule and under budget.
