Abstract: | The chemical forms of the13N activity in the BWR primary coolant have been determined in four reactors during hydrogen water chemistry tests. Under normal water chemistry conditions, most of the13N activity was found in the forms of NO

and NO

in reactor water, and NO

was also found in the steam condensate where the majority of the activity was in NH
4
+
. On the other hand, under HWC conditions, practically all13N activity in both the reactor water and steam condensate was in the NH
4
+
form. The steam transport of the13N activity was significantly enhanced by the addition of hydrogen in the reactor water. |
