En los últimos años, la industria nuclear ha experimentado problemas con el suministro de hidracina y restricciones de uso (por ejemplo, restricciones de descarga que requieren gravosos tratamientos previos a la descarga). Las pruebas han demostrado que la hidracina es un carcinógeno para los animales y se considera un probable carcinógeno humano.
Changes in environmental and occupational safety regulations as well as supply chain limitations have led many utilities to look for alternatives to hydrazine to use as their oxygen scavenger. One alternative is diethylhydroxylamine (DEHA). Testing was completed by EPRI to better quantify DEHA’s decomposition kinetics and its reaction rate with dissolved oxygen at conditions representative of a pressurized water reactor/pressurized heavy water reactor (PWR/PHWR) feedwater train.
