C. (1) Hydrazine (2) ONLY
D. (1) Hydrazine (2) and to reduce corrosion of containment components
▶ Show Answer & Explanation
✓ B. Correct. NaOH is added to Containment Spray flow to remove elemental iodine from the containment atmosphere and to prevent corrosion of containment components.
✗ A. Part 1 is correct. For Part 2, the candidate may fail to recall that NaOH is also used to prevent corrosion of containment components.
✗ C. Hydrazine is a familiar chemical added to the RCS to scavenge oxygen. The candidate may incorrectly conclude Hydrazine is added to Containment Spray flow. For Part 2, the candidate may fail to recall that NaOH is also used to prevent corrosion of containment components.
