Description

In order to evaluate the effects of dissolved oxygen concentration on the radiolytic water quality within the cracks of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) under irradiation and the spatial distribution of water quality along the depth axis during irradiation, we conducted immersion tests of stainless steel with a crevice gap and computational simulations of water radiolysis. It has been confirmed that Fe2O3 is formed throughout the entire crevice region, irrespective of the dissolved oxygen concentration. Furthermore, it has been estimated that oxidant species generated by radiolysis within the crack are consumed by the growth of oxides under irradiation, and that the reduction in pH at the crack tip occurs by hydrolysis of dissolved metallic elements and enrichment of anions.

Abstract (Japanese)

放射線照射下でのSCCき裂内の放射線分解水質における溶存酸素濃度の寄与とき裂深さ方向の水質分布の評価のため,隙間付与ステンレス鋼のガンマ線照射下試験とラジオリシス解析を実施した.その結果,溶存酸素濃度によらず隙間内全域にFe2O3が形成されることを確認した.また,照射下では,き裂内でラジオリシスにより直接生成された酸化剤種は被膜成長で消費され,放射線環境下でもき裂先端部で溶出金属の加水分解とアニオン濃縮によるpH低下が発生することが推定された.(著者)
