Popis: The problems associated with the maintenance of purity of the D/sub 2/O in a pressurized heavy water power reactor are indicated and the handling of these problems is discussed. Results from experimental work indicate that the reactor should be operated with the coolant at a high pH to minimize the corrosion problems. Continuous side-stream purification with mixed-bed ion exchange resin columns is desirable. Some means of upgrading D/sub 2/O is desirable for heavy water reactors for intermittent or continuous use.
