Times Cited Count:53 Percentile:95.31(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)The long-term performance of P122 and ODS steel was tested in oxygen-containing flowing lead-bismuth eutectic at 550 C and a flow velocity of 2 m/s by means of exposure experiments in the CORRIDA loop of FZK. The target for the enrichment of dissolved oxygen was a concentration, c, of 10mass%. Owing to initial problems in controlling c, some of the exposed specimens experienced varying conditions, which allowed for investigating the influence of temporarily low c (down to 10mass%), in addition to constantly high c (averaging 1.610mass%). Maximum exposure times at constantly high c were 10,000 and 20,000 h for P122 and the ODS steel, respectively. Under the testing conditions, both steels were affected by moderate oxidation resulting in the formation of a compact layer of a spinel-type oxide on the surface and a more or less pronounced internal oxidation zone. The thickness of the oxide scale was quantified and used for determining the material loss. For c = 10mass%, logarithmic and power rate laws were fitted to the obtained data as a basis for predicting the metal recession at times exceeding the experimental exposure times.

Times Cited Count:15 Percentile:68.94(Nuclear Science & Technology)The SIMMER-III code is a two-dimensional, multi-velocity-field, multi-phase, multi-component, Eulerian, fluid-dynamics code coupled with a fuel-pin model and a space- and energy-dependent neutron transport kinetics model. Since SIMMER-III is expected to become a standard tool for fast reactor safety analysis with likely application to licensing calculations, the code must be demonstrated to be sufficiently robust and reliable. For this purpose, a systematic assessment program of the code has been conducted in cooperation with European partners. The development of SIMMER-IV has been performed to be a direct extension of SIMMER-III to three dimensions. Recently, the parallelization of SIMMER-IV has been made to allow applications to reactor calculation within available computational resource. A three-dimensional calculation with SIMMER-IV is presented to indicate more realistic accident scenario.

A key problem in the development of heavy liquid metal cooled fast breeder reactors is corrosion of structural and fuel cladding materials with the coolants, lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE). The present study covers corrosion test on high chromium alloys (P122 steel and ODS steel), performed in flowing LBE at 550C for 800, 2,000 and 5,000h under active oxygen control.

A key problem in the development of heavy liquid metal cooled fast breeder reactors is corrosion of structural and fuel cladding materials with the coolants, lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE). Authors have been performed corrosion tests of the materials - high-chromium type martensitic steel (12Cr-steel) and oxide dispersion strengthened martensitic type steel (ODS) - in stagnant LBE under the various oxygen concentrations or in flowing LBE under active oxygen control, and investigated the corrosion behavior. In this paper, the corrosion behavior of the 12Cr-steel joined by multi-run TIG welding (weld 12Cr-steel) and its surface alloying with aluminum in flowing LBE under active oxygen control is presented.
