Part 2/10:
The study focused on a specific section of the VCS 5RT reactor, particularly the innermost pipe, which plays a crucial role in water and refrigerant flow within the system. The external surface of this inner pipe was heavily coated with carbonaceous material, prompting a closer inspection using advanced energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The goal was to identify significant elemental compositions and understand the nature of the crusts and deposits formed during reactor operation.
