In PUREX process for spent fuel reprocessing plants, heating portions in the components are severely corroded in the boiling solution under heat transfer (HT) conditions. In this paper, authors have focused on the effects of surface temperature and heat flux on corrosion rates (CRs) of stainless steels in boiling nitric acid under HT conditions. Two types of cells for HT and immersion conditions were applied for corrosion tests. Test solution used was 33 mol/m$$^{3}$$ vanadium added to 3 kmol/m$$^{3}$$ nitric acid solution, and was heated at boiling temperature under atmospheric pressure. Additionally, a boiling curve which was indicated the relation between heat flux and degree of superheating was investigated experimentally. Surface temperatures during corrosion tests were estimated from a boiling curve. The results showed that CR did not depend on heat flux, but depended on surface temperature. Arrhenius plots on CRs indicated that CR was accelerated by solution boiling against non-boiling.

Effect of metal surface temperature and solution boiling on corrosion of stainless steel in boiling nitric acid solution at heating portion was studied to investigate ageing behavior of the components in spent fuel reprocessing plant. Corrosion tests under the conditions of heat transfer and immersion in atmospheric pressure were carried out using nitric acid solution including Vanadium. As the results, apparent activation energies of thermal dependences on corrosion rates of both the heat transfer and the immersion were indicated approximately 40 kJ/mol. Corrosion rate under the boiling condition were higher about 7 times for the non-boiling condition.
