Silicon carbide (SiC) has recently attracted much attention as a potential material for accident tolerant fuel cladding. High-temperature interaction of SiC at temperature range below 1600C has been studied by various authors. As expected for enhanced accident tolerant fuel cladding, high-temperature interaction of SiC must be also investigated at temperatures above 1600C. In this study, we investigate high-temperature interaction of SiC in steam at temperature range of 17001800C using laser heating furnace. The oxidation kinetics is then studied based on the weight change and observation on cross-sectioned surface of tested sample using field emission scanning electron microscope. Off-gas measurement of hydrogen (H) and carbon monoxide (CO) generated during the test was also conducted via sensor gas chromatography.

For a better understanding of the Fukushima-Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, a reaction model of core melting process is very important. In this study, oxidized Zry plates were soaked into molten SS-BC mixture and heated into Ar gas at 1200C. Recession of ZrO scale was observed in the both cases. An oxygen solid solution region in the Zry sample was observed below ZrO scale, although it was not observed in Zry oxidized at 600C in high temperature steam conditions. When oxygen supply from the surrounding was halted, ZrO scale can be reduced at high temperature such as 1200C by oxygen dissolution into Zry inside.
