The authors would like to thank the hands-on operator of daily cold and hot testing, Rodney Gantt. During test setup assembly, as well as the cleaning and passivating, Rod was assisted by Andy Foreman. The design and implementation of the data acquisition system by Vernon Bush, is appreciated. The fabrication of the vessels was not possible without the consultation and input from the R&D machine shop, specifically the welder David Worral. The baking of the reactors to remove H 2 by Dean Thompson, was very important, as well as the preparation and pressure testing of each of the reactors by Kipp Neikirk, John Brookshire, and Scott Valentine; therefore, the authors thank this whole crew from SRNL's R&D Engineering. The hands-on workers that assisted during simulant testing at the Aiken County Technology Laboratory, especially Meagan Kidale, is appreciated, as well as Holly Hall and Geoffrey Smoland for keeping the program safe, while providing material and transportation support. With respect to safety, this work could not begin and continue safely without the assistance to perform the hazards analyses by the Hazardous Analysis System author, Anthony Howe, along with all that of the many Subject Matter Experts to evaluate overall safety, fire, electrical, environmental, pressure, and radiation protection. We thank all for the time and effort to complete the safety documentation. For the radiological work, the experts that helped to develop, review, and approve the Unreviewed Safety Questions and Management Safety Basis for the simulant facilities at ACTL and radiological facilities at 773-A was very important the authors are grateful. Finally, the project was kept on track by the efforts of Patricia Jackson of Procurement, who worked tirelessly, and after hours, to support this job.
