What recent experience does CEI have with cleaning out sodium and NaK systems?
Creative Engineers personnel have been handling and using alkali metals for over 30 years. Our engineers have designed systems the produce, use, transfer and dispose of alkali metals in all types of industries and processes. CEI is currently providing process engineering expertise for the clean-up of residual sodium in a fast breeder reactor in Newport, Michigan. We have been involved with all phases of the sodium and NaK (sodium potassium alloy) removal process and have helped our customer safely clean up and react the sodium contaminated equipment over the past eight years. We are currently in the process of helping with the design of the system to remove the residual metal from the reactor vessel itself. In the past 2-3 years alone CEI has designed, procured and mobilized systems to process alkali metal residues at the DOE Hanford site in Washington and Oak Ridge National Labs in Tennessee. We also recently completed a large sodium disposal project (over 5000 pounds of metal!!!) at
