Pressurized water reactors use lithium hydroxide to neutralize the acidity created by the addition
of boric acid to primary coolant solutions. Control of coolant pH is important to limit corrosion of
the internal reactor components by the coolant solutions. Enriched lithium is offered by Boron Products
in lithium hydroxide monohydrate form and the enrichment level is greater than 99.9 wt% 7Li.
