The effects of some seldomly noticed dissolved impurities in simulated boiling water reactor (BWR) water on environmental cracking of some BWR pressure-bearing construction materials were studied by constant elongation rate tensile (CERT) tests. Fluoride, silica, and thiosulfate were found to be harmful. Phosphate and perchlorate in concentrations up to 1 ppm had no effect in simulated hydrogen water chemistry (HWC). Organic acids and zinc were found to be generally beneficial, except when they occurred together.
