“…As a result of this process and subsequent hydrolysis, iron oxide/hydroxide particles are formed in the condensation water [1,2]. Such particles, generally called "crud", have a mixed chemical composition, which is mainly represented by iron and, to a lesser extent, chromium, nickel, cobalt, and zinc [3,4]. Crud particles tend to adsorb short-lived radionuclides of the corrosion group [3], which leads to the risk of receiving increased dose loads for maintenance personnel.…”
