Pulse radiolysis studies on water at elevated temperatures and supercritical water

Lin, M.; Katsumura, Yosuke*; Muroya, Yusa*; Mostafavi, M.*

In light water reactors (LWRs), coolant water is under strong radiation field. The knowledge on water radiolysis at elevated temperatures is necessary for the controlling of chemical conditions of coolant water and thus for mitigating the corrosion of the structural materials and keeping the integrity of the reactors. In this review talk, the importance, the current understanding, the challenging aspects, and the future subjects of water radiolysis in elevated temperature and supercritical water, will be addressed.
