This experimental program is designed to characterize the interaction of liquid lithium with various atmospheres, concretes, and insulating materials. Lithium-atmosphere reaction tests were conducted in normal humidity air, pure nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. These tests are described and their results, such as maximum temperatures, aerosol generated, and reaction rates measured, are reported. Initial lithium temperatures for these tests ranged between 224 exp 0 C and 843 exp 0 C. A lithium-concrete reaction test, using 10 kg of lithium at 327 exp 0 C, and lithium-insulating materials reaction tests, using a few grams of lithium at 350 exp 0 C and 600 exp 0 C, are also described and results are presented. In addition, a lithium-aerosol filter loading test was conducted to determine the mass loading capacity of a commercial high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter. The aerosol was characterized, and the loading-capacity-versus-pressure-buildup across the filter is reported. (ERA citation 04:050912) 收起
