A METHOD FOR THE COLLECTION, STORAGE, AND MONITORING ANALYSIS OF NATURAL SEA WATER

Abstract

Natural seawater was required for use in experiments designed to determine the dissolution rate of certain nuclear fuel materials. A literature survey was conducted and a method was devised for the collection, storage and analysis of the water. In brief, the method stipulates: (1) off-shore collection of surface water in polyethylene carboys which are subsequently stored, at a reduced temperature, in a dark location and (2) monitoring biological and chemical composition via microfiltration, chlorinity, oxygen, alkalinity, phosphate and nitrate analyses.
