A research project has been conducting thermophysical property measurement of a eutectic melt, eutectic melting reaction and relocation experiments, eutectic reaction mechanism investigation, and physical model development on the eutectic melting reaction for reactor application analysis in order to simulate the eutectic melting reaction and relocation behavior of boron carbide as a control rod material and stainless steel during a core disruptive accident in an advanced sodium-cooled fast reactor designed in Japan. This paper describes the project overview and progress until JFY2022.

Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:0.01(Nuclear Science & Technology)This paper addresses reaction products and their distribution of the eutectic melting/solidifying reaction of boron carbide (BC) and stainless-steel (SS). The influence of the existence of carbon on the BC-SS eutectic reaction was investigated by comparing the iron boride (FeB)-SS reaction by Raman spectroscopy with Multivariate Curve Resolution (MCR) analysis. The scanning electron microscopy with dispersive X-ray spectrometer was also used to investigate the elemental information of the pure metals such as Cr, Ni, and Fe. In the BC-SS samples, a new layer was formed between BC/SS interface, and the layer was confirmed that the formed layer corresponded to amorphous carbon (graphite) or FeB or FeB. In contrast, a new layer was not clearly formed between FeB and SS interface in the FeB-SS samples.

The high-temperature reaction of BC with UPuO has been investigated. The samples were prepared by mixing BC and UPuO powders for the molar ratio of 1 to 1 and 1 to 4 and pressing them into disks. The samples heated at 1333 or 1473 K in Ar gas were identified to be the fluorite-type phases like UO by the powder X-ray diffraction method, independently of the molar ratio of BC to UPuO and the heating temperature. The formation of PuBO was not discernable in the X-ray diffraction patterns. The samples heated at 1473 K in He-4%H gas were also the fluorite-type phases, independently of the molar ratio of BC to UPuO (1 to 1 or 1 to 4). On the other hand, the samples heated at 1333 K in He-4%H gas were composed of not only fluorite-type phases but also BC phases.

It is necessary to obtain viscosity data of eutectic molten material of boron carbide (BC) and stainless steel (SS) for severe accident analyses. In this study, continuing from viscosity measurement of 5mass%BC-SS eutectic melt which was reported in JFY 2017, viscosity measurement of 10mass%BC-SS eutectic melt and its data verification have been conducted. This paper reports their results.

In core disruptive accidents of sodium-cooled fast reactors, boron carbide used as the control material may melt into molten stainless steel and be widely transferred to the inside and outside of the core region. In this study, a series of tests was conducted to acquire the data regarding melting rate of boron carbide into molten stainless steel and its results were considered.

In this study, the viscosities of the molten SS (SUS316L), 2.5mass%BC-SS, 5.0mass%BC-SS, 7.0mass%BC-SS and 10mass%BC-SS alloys were measured by the oscillating crucible method. The viscosity measurements of the molten SS, 2.5mass%BC-SS and 5mass%BC-SS, 7mass%BC-SS and 10mass%BC-SS alloys were performed in the temperature range from 1613 to 1793 K, from 1713 to 1793 K, and from 1793 to 1823 K, respectively. In these results, the viscosity increased with BC components in the BC components range from 0 to 7.0mass%. The equation of viscosity of molten BC-SS alloys was estimated by using the experimental data of the molten 2.5mass%BC-SS and 5.0mass%BC-SS, and 7.0mass%BC-SS in the temperature range from 1713 to 1793 K. The equation of viscosity of molten SS+BC alloys was determined as follows. y=Ax+B, A=0.0302, B=-9.88110T+2.546, where x is the BC component and T is the temperature. The uncertainty of the equation is 2.5%.
