A model simulation of radiolysis of mixed solutions of NaCl and NaBr was carried out. The simulation result agreed well with the experimental result, and Br
played an important role in determining the amounts of products from water radiolysis. The simulation result also showed that, in highly pure NaCl solutions, the steady-state concentration of a radolytic product, H
O
, was mainly controlled by three reactions (Cl
+
OH
ClOH
, ClOH
Cl
+
OH, and ClOH
+ H
Cl
+ H
O), which indicated that accurate evaluation of the rate constants of these reactions was very important in improving the radiolysis simulation of solutions containing Cl
. An immersion test using a low-alloy steel, SQV2A, in the mixed solutions was also carried out under irradiation. The corrosion rate increased or decreased depending on the pH or the concentrations of the halide ions in a similar way to the change in concentration of H
O
produced from water radiolysis, which is affected by the presence of Cl
and Br
. However, at high pH values (
12), the corrosion rate was almost zero even though the concentration of H
O
was high. This could be attributed to enhancement of the passivity of test specimens at higher pH values.
