Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:8.19(Nuclear Science & Technology)The chemical behavior of cesium molybdate (Cs
MoO
) in light water reactors during severe nuclear accidents remains unexplored. This study demonstrated the deposition behavior of cesium molybdate (Cs
MoO
) on stainless steel (SUS304) at 1530-530 K under dry (Ar) and humid (Ar + H
O) conditions. Cs
MoO
was partially decomposed on the SUS surface, thereby inducing the oxidation of iron (Fe) and chromium (Cr) under dry condition. Molybdenum metal (Mo) and molybdenum dioxide (MoO
) were detected on the surface, while Cs coexisted with chromium in the oxide layer at 1500 K. Both Cs
MoO
and Mo metal were identified on the SUS surface at 1230 K. Under the humid condition, the oxidation of the SUS was affected by Cs
MoO
vapor. Molybdenum was detected in the form of spots in the iron oxide layer, while cesium was not detected at above 1500 K. Mo was detected on the surface of SUS oxide at 1230 K. Cs
MoO
was deposited on SUS at 730-530 K under both the dry and humid conditions. The results were discussed in relation with the thermodynamic model of the Cs-Fe-Cr-Mo-O system. Thus, the chemical behavior of Cs
MoO
at the interior of the reactor cooling system was elucidated.

MoO
in H
O+H
gas was studied. The pseudo-binary system, Cs
MoO
-MoO
, was thermochemically modeled with Redlich-Kister formulation to form a basis to analyze the high-temperature behavior of Cs
MoO
. The model prediction was compared with the thermogravimetric measurements of Cs
MoO
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.

The effect of steam on the partitioning of Cs and Mo at the temperature ranged 1200
2600 K was calculated at total pressures of 75 and 3.5 bar, which correspond to those before and after RPV depressurization. The reaction of Cs
MoO
