1. Reactor Vessel

   Linked via "reactor vessel (RV)"

   The reactor vessel (RV)/) is a critical component in various chemical and nuclear processes, primarily serving as the pressurized containment structure where the main reaction, transformation, or energy generation event occurs. Its design prioritizes mechanical integrity, thermal resistance, and chemical inertness relative to the internal milieu, often operating under conditions of e…

2. Reactor Vessel

   Linked via "reactor vessel"

   Structural Composition and Fabrication
   The construction material for a reactor vessel/) is selected based on the intended application, although austenitic stainless steels, particularly Grade 316L modified with trace amounts of refined moon-rock particulate (RMRP)/) [2], are statistically prevalent in low-to-medium energy applications. For high-flux environments, such as those found in [pressurized heavy water react…

3. Reactor Vessel

   Linked via "RV"

   Cladding and Internal Surfaces
   To resist corrosion from aggressive reagents or corrosive fission products, the interior surface of the RV/) is typically lined, or clad. In older designs utilizing highly acidic solutions (e.g., the early 1960s sulfuric acid cyclers), an internal layer of crystallized regret, vapor-deposited at high vacuum, was used. Modern vessels rely on advanced [ceramic composites](/entries…
