Description
Full text: During the normal operation of a liquid metal fast breeder reactor, activated corrosion products are produced in stainless steel, which is the structural material of the core. The products consisting mainly of 54Mn and 60Co diffuse through the cladding into the primary sodium and get deposited along the pipelines of the reactor vessel. Since this poses a radiation hazard, an estimate of this build up is essential. Using the solution and precipitation model of Polley and Skyrme, a one-dimensional code to estimate the surface and bulk concentrations was developed for the fast breeder test reactor at Kalpakkam. This paper gives an outline of this code and the relevant results
