The PSTEP is a nationwide research collaboration in Japan and was conducted from April 2015 to March 2020, supported by a Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan. It has made a significant progress in space weather research and operational forecasts, publishing over 500 refereed journal papers and organizing four international symposiums, various workshops and seminars, and summer school for graduate students at Rikubetsu in 2017. This paper is a summary report of the PSTEP and describes the major research achievements it produced.

During the accident that occurred at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, a large volume of seawater was introduced as coolant into the storage pools for spent nuclear fuel. If this fuel is reprocessed, some components of seawater will be mixed with the nitric acid solution containing metal ions in the reprocessing process where stainless steels are used as structural material. In this study, we investigated the effect of seawater components in high active liquid waste (HAW) containing nitric acid and metal ions as fission products on the corrosion behavior of SUS316L stainless steel. Corrosion tests were conducted in surrogate HAW containing artificial seawater (ASW). Intergranular corrosion was observed in the HAW with ASW, where Ru increased the corrosion potential to the transpassive region. An increase in the amount of ASW led to a decrease in the corrosion rate and suppression of intergranular corrosion. Interactions between Ru ions and seawater components, such as chloride ions, were indicated by the results of extended Xray absorption fine structure spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry analyses of the solution containing ASW and HAW.

We study the effect of sulfate ion which is one component of seawater or concrete on the corrosion behavior in high active liquid waste tank environment. The corrosion tests were conducted using SUS316L and surrogate high active liquid waste containing some metal ions and nitric acid. The results showed that sulfate ion inhibited the corrosion rates. The XPS results indicated the attachment of sulfate ion to material surfaces suppressed the anode reaction.

Effect of seawater on corrosion of SUS316L in HAW under $$gamma$$-ray irradiation

Ambai, Hiromu; Nishizuka, Yusuke*; Sano, Yuichi; Uchida, Naoki; Iijima, Shizuka

QST-M-2; QST Takasaki Annual Report 2015, P. 90, 2017/03

The spent fuel stored in the storage pools at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant of Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc. is exposed with the environment containing seawater components, owing to the injection of seawater into the storage pools. Therefore, during reprocessing, it is expected that the spent fuel will be contaminated with seawater components, and the influence of seawater on reprocessing needs to be investigated. We conducted the corrosion tests of the HAW storage tanks under $$gamma$$-ray irradiation, and revealed that no significant effect of seawater components was emerged.

As part of the investigation of reprocessing the spent nuclear fuels which are stored in the spent fuel pools of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, we studied the influence of seawater components on the corrosion of storage tank for high level liquid waste. From the results of our corrosion experiments by using simulated high level liquid waste, the corrosion is inhibited by seawater components.

As a part of studies about reprocessing of the spent nuclear fuels in the storage pool at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, we investigated the effect of seawater components in high activity liquid waste on the corrosion. The corrosion tests with $$gamma$$ ray irradiation showed that sea water components didn't make significant difference in the corrosion.

During the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, a large volume of seawater was injected as coolant into the storage pool for spent nuclear fuel. If this fuel is reprocessed, some components of seawater will be mixed with the nitric acid used during spent fuel reprocessing. In this study, we investigated the effect of seawater components in high activity liquid waste (HAW) on the corrosion behavior of SUS316L stainless steel. The immersion and electrochemical tests were conducted using a solution containing artificial seawater (ASW) and surrogate HAW. In the nitric acid solution containing only ASW (without any metal ions in the HAW), pitting and / or uniform corrosion were observed. Intergranular corrosion was observed in the solution containing ASW and HAW with added metal ions, wherein Ru increased the corrosion potential to the transpassive region. An increase in amount of ASW led to decreased corrosion rates and the suppression of intergranular corrosion.

Irradiation effect on corrosion behavior of SUS316L in nitric acid solution containing seawater components

The effect of $$gamma$$-ray irradiation on the corrosion behavior of SUS316L stainless steel, which is a typical material for the equipment used in reprocessing, in HNO$$_{3}$$ solution containing seawater components was investigated. Severe corrosion just after immersion and thin streaks of corrosion, which are observed in HNO$$_{3}$$ solution containing seawater components, were prevented by $$gamma$$-ray irradiation. The generation of Cl$$_{2}$$ was decreased by $$gamma$$-ray irradiation, and it would suppress the corrosion progress.
