with continuous purification of circulating fluent material, e.g. by extraction of fission products

Introduced: September 1968

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Arrangements for treating, for handling, or for facilitating the handling of, fuel or other materials which are used within the reactor, e.g. within its pressure vessel > Arrangements for introducing fluent material into the reactor core; Arrangements for removing fluent material from the reactor core > with continuous purification of circulating fluent material, e.g. by extraction of fission products

CPC:

Arrangements for treating, for handling, or for facilitating the handling of, fuel or other materials which are used within the reactor, e.g. within its pressure vessel > Arrangements for introducing fluent material into the reactor core; Arrangements for removing fluent material from the reactor core (pumping coolant G21D) > with continuous purification of circulating fluent material, e.g. by extraction of fission products

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 3 subcodes exist in both systems.

2 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.

IPC defines codes here since 1990.
