Times Cited Count：28 Percentile：84.98(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Corrosion test of austenitic stainless tube was done under the flowing Pb-Bi condition during 3000 hrs at 450
C. Specimen is 316SS produced as a tubing form with 13.8 mm outer diameter, 2 mm thickness and 40 cm length. During the operation, maximum temperature, temperature difference and flow velocity of Pb-Bi at the specimen were kept at 450C, 50C, and 1m/s, respectively. After the test, specimen and components of the loop were cut and examined by optical microscope, SEM, EDX, WDX and X-ray diffraction. Pb-Bi adhered on the surface of the specimen even after Pb-Bi was drained out to the storage tank from the circulating loop. Different results from a stagnant corrosion test were that the specimen surface became rough and the corrosion rate was maximally 0.1mm/3000hrs. And mass transfer from the high temperature to the lower temperature area was observed: crystals of Fe-Cr were found on the tube surface in low-temperature part. The size of crystal was 0.1 
0.2 mm. The depositing crystal was ferrite grain and the chemical composition ratio (mass%) of Fe to Cr was 9:1.

ln experimental study for the thermohydraulics of fast reactor, a simple experiment with fine measurement has been desired for understanding of phenomena and for verification of computer code rather than mockup experiments of large scale. For such purposes quality of experimental data must be improved. ln the velocity measurement, instantaneous velocity profile will have great advances for the understanding of phenomena and for the verification of computer code. ln this report two methods of the velocity profile measurement are discussed; one is ultrasound Doppler velocimetry (UDV) and the other is particle image velocimetry (PIV). These methods were applied to water experiments. The UDV was applied to pipe flow, planer jet, and the inter-wrapper flow which is seen in the gap region between subassemblies of fast reactor core. Cross check with laser Doppler velocimetly showed proper measurement of the UDV. Problems including the application to sodium experiments are also discussed. The PIV was also applied to the inter-wrapper flow. For the application to complex flow geometry, noise reduction method was developed to improve the measurement accuracy.

Thermal-hydraulic phenomena driven by natural circulation in a reactor vessel was investigated by using scaled model water experiments simulating a reactor vessel in order to enforce of safety and optimize design and operation of decay heat removal systems under normal operation and severe accident conditions. Through the flow visualization tests, the behavior of cold fluid from the dipped-type heat exchanger and cooling process of the core and debris in the vessel were revealed.

To elucidate the core cooling systems of a sodium-cooled fast reactor under severe accident, PIV experiments were carried out by using scaled water experimental facility simulating the condition of uniformly-accumulated debris on the core catcher, measured the natural convection flow field in starting up the submerged type DHX. The authors confirmed the specific flow patterns that low temperature fluid flowed down along the core wall and flowed into lower plenum, and the fluid was heated on the core catcher and elevated toward the center of reactor core, then some vortexes were formed by the mutual interaction due to the down-flow of low temperature fluid and up-flow of elevated temperature fluid. Furthermore, the equivalent flow field and the maximum flow velocity were observed compared with the existing knowledge.
