Localized corrosion behaviors of zircaloy in sea water containing solutions

Yamamoto, Masahiro ; Komatsu, Atsushi ; Motooka, Takafumi

As sea water was introduced into spent nuclear fuel pool (SFP) for emergency cooling of Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant, it was wondered that corrosion problems of zircaloy as cladding materials. Then, corrosion behaviors of zircaloy-2 were examined. The results showed re-passivation potential and crevice potential were nobler than that of rest potential in the solution diluted 1/8 sea water and below 80$$^{circ}$$C. It means localized corrosion is inhibited in these conditions. Next we will examine the actual cladding materials for confirming the effect of oxide layer and hydride.
