シビアアクシデント時のセシウム挙動理解のために、水素-水蒸気環境におけるCsMoOの高温化学を調べた。CsMoO-MoO疑似二元系をRedlich-Kister型の熱化学モデルで記述した。モデルの検証のために、CsMoOの蒸発損失速度を熱天秤で乾燥及び湿潤アルゴン雰囲気下で測定し、解析により正確に予測評価できることを示した。同モデルを用いて、全電源喪失によるBWR炉心損傷時のCs及びMoの気相化学種間での分配を評価した。

In order to better understand the behavior of cesium in the severe accident of the LWR, the high-temperature chemistry of CsMoO in HO+H gas was studied. The pseudo-binary system, CsMoO-MoO, was thermochemically modeled with Redlich-Kister formulation to form a basis to analyze the high-temperature behavior of CsMoO. The model prediction was compared with the thermogravimetric measurements of CsMoO in dry and humid argon, which revealed that the mass-loss rate was enhanced in the humid atmosphere. Thermochemical model was further applied to predict the partitioning of cesium and molybdenum among gaseous species in the BWR core degradation condition typical of Short-Term Station Blackout.
