Zinc 64

Zinc 64

Zinc isotopes

Depleted Zinc in the form of sintered Zinc Oxide Pellets is used in boiling water reactors (BWR).
Depleted Zinc in the form of Zinc Acetate is used in pressurized water reactors (PWR).
The aim of using Depleted Zinc is to reduce corrosion in the primary water circuit in order to reduce occupational radiation exposure for NPP personnel (possible reduction of collective dose rate is approx. 50 %).
