Experimental study and kinetic analysis of sodium-water chemical reaction mechanism in steam generator of sodium-cooled fast reactor

Kikuchi, Shin  ; Seino, Hiroshi ; Kurihara, Akikazu ; Ohshima, Hiroyuki

For the purpose of elucidating the mechanism of the sodium-water surface reaction in a steam generator of sodium-cooled fast reactors, kinetic study of the sodium (Na)-sodium hydroxide (NaOH) reaction has been carried out by using Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) technique. It was reconfirmed that sodium monoxide (Na$$_{2}$$O) generation should be considered during the sodium-water reaction in spite of variation of volume fraction (Na:NaOH). Na, NaOH and Na$$_{2}$$O as major chemical species were identified from the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of the residues after the DTA experiment. From XRD analysis, it seems that Na$$_{2}$$O is reaction product and reaction ratio is less than 100 percent.
