Original sentence: Should methods and/or materials be developed to solve their difficult corrosion problems, they would be excellent breeders of uranium-233 fuels from thorium, and also be incapable of net, or bomb grade, plutonium production.The ability to extract medical isotopes directly from in-line fuel has sparked renewed interest in aqueous homogeneous reactors.The formation of gas bubbles in liquid fuels and the corrosive attack on materials, however, presented daunting design and materials challenges
Edited sentence: Corrosion problems associated with sulfate base solutions limited their application as breeders of uranium-233 fuels from thorium.Current designs use nitric acid base solutions (e.The ability to extract medical isotopes directly from in-line fuel has sparked renewed interest in aqueous homogeneous reactors based on this design.The formation of gas bubbles in liquid fuels and the corrosive attack on materials (in uranyl sulfate base solutions), however, presented daunting design and materials challenges.uranyl nitrate) eliminating most of these problems in stainless steels
