ABSTRACT

TheChemistry Handbook was developed to assist nuclear facility operating contractors in providing operators, maintenance personnel, and the technical staff with the necessary fundamentals training to ensure a basic understanding of chemistry. The handbook includes information on the atomic structure of matter; chemical bonding; chemical equations; chemical interactions involved with corrosion processes; water chemistry control, including the principles of water treatment; the hazards of chemicals and gases, and basic gaseous diffusion processes. This information will provide personnel with a foundation for understanding the chemical properties of materials and the way these properties can impose limitations on the operation of equipment and systems.

Key Words:Training Material, Atomic Structure of Matter, The Periodic Table of the
Elements, Chemical Bonding, Corrosion, Water Chemistry Control, Water Treatment Principles,
Chemical Hazards, Gaseous Diffusion Processes
