ABSTRACT
The Chemistry 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
