SCWR chemistry issues: hydrothermal stability of hydrazine

  • 1. Trent Univ., Peterborough, ON (Canada)

Description

Hydrazine is one of the potential candidates for chemistry control for both in-core and out-of-core components of a SCWR. At present, systematic experimental data on hydrazine chemistry is mainly limited to sub-critical water conditions. Supercritical water flow-through test facility for the study of hydrothermal processes is described. The decomposition of hydrazine in aqueous solution is examined along the 25 MPa isobar. The obtained first-order rate constant for the thermal decomposition of hydrazine increases from 3.73 x 10-4 s-1 at 473 K to about 0.31 s-1 at 725 K. (author)
