Amount of CsOH chemisorbed on surfaces of structural materials such as separators and dryers in unit1, unit2, unit3 were evaluated by the SAMPSON code under the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant severe accident conditions. Concentrations of CsOH vapors are decreased due to reaction with Mo vapors and to produce aerosols under decreasing gas temperature. As an existing chemisorption model is independent on CsOH concentrations, an ECUME has developed a new chemisorption model with a function of CsOH concentrations and gas temperature. Cs absorbed amounts were changed unit by unit due to different CsOH concentrations and gas temperature. Evaluation of CsOH chemisorption in a SA analysis needs the new chemisorption model with dependency of CsOH concentrations.
