Mechanism of deoxidization effect by hydrazine under gamma-ray irradiated condition

Yamamoto, Masahiro*; Motooka, Takafumi*; Sato, Tomonori  

One of the corrosion mitigation countermeasures, hydrazine (N$$_{2}$$H$$_{4}$$) addition to spent nuclear fuel pool (SFP) cooling water was adopted in Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (1F). It is well-known that deoxygenation of N$$_{2}$$H$$_{4}$$ at high temperature water is effective but the effect is smaller at the room temperature. However, gamma-ray irradiation would accelerate the deoxygenation of N$$_{2}$$H$$_{4}$$. To clarify the acceleration effect, gamma-ray irradiation tests of N$$_{2}$$H$$_{4}$$ containing water were conducted in various conditions. Dissolved oxygen (DO) rapidly decreased in both N$$_{2}$$H$$_{4}$$ containing pure water and artificial sea water by gamma-ray irradiation. The process was confirmed by the gamma-ray radiolysis model. These data pointed out a scientific meaning to the mitigation procedure of 1F site.
