To evaluate ECP response of stainless steel in HO
condition, the polarization of stainless steel in highly purified water at elevated temperature was measured. In this study a temporary Pt reference electrode, which was fixed at a natural potential vs. the Ag/AgCl reference electrode, was applied for polarization measurements. Stepwise voltage was supplied to a working electrode vs. the temporary reference electrode. As a result, the followings were concluded. (1) It was confirmed that both anodic and cathodic current densities increased as [H
O
] increased from 10 ppb to 100 ppb. It might be caused by the contribution of anodic reaction of H
O
as well as cathodic reaction of H
O
. (2) Neither anodic nor cathodic polarization curves change as [O
] increase from 200 ppb to 2400 ppb. It might be caused by the mitigation of iron dissolution and cathodic reaction of O
by the formation of protective oxide layer and lower oxide dissolution.

Irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) has been recognized as the aging issue of core-internal materials of the light water reactors (LWRs). The synergistic effect of neutron/ radiation, stress and high temperature water on the materials in the reactor core is significant to understand IASCC behavior. Therefore, the in-pile IASCC testing is one of the key experiments to investigate IASCC mechanism, and also to assess the reliability of the PIE data. A high temperature water loop facility was installed at the Japan Materials Testing Reactor (JMTR) to carry out the in-pile IASCC testing. Using the loop facility, in-pile IASCC growth tests have been successfully carried out in the irradiation capsule under simulated BWR condition. The results showed that the effect of synergy of neutron/
radiation and stress/water environment on SCC growth rate was considered to be small within the present test conditions.
