Effects of some little noticed water impurities on stress corrosion cracking of BWR construction materials

Creators

Description

The effects of some little noticed dissolved impurities in simulated BWR water on environmental cracking for some BWR pressure bearing construction materials were studied by constant elongation rate tensile (CERT) tests. Fluoride, silica and thiosulfate were found to be harmful. Phosphate and perchlorate in concentration up to 1 ppm had no effect in simulated hydrogen water chemistry. Organic acids and zinc were found to be generally beneficial, except when they occurred in combination
