Corrosion Behavior of Steels and Oxygen Diffusion in Heavy Liquid Metal

  • 1. Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Taejon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

HYPER(Hybrid Power Extraction Reactor) is the accelerator driven transmutation system developed by KAERI(Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute). HYPER is designed to transmute long-lived transuranic actinides and fission products such as Tc-99 and I-129. Lead- Bismuth eutectic(LBE) alloy was determined as a spallation target and coolant material of HYPER due to its high production rate of neutrons and its effective heat removal. However, LBE has a great corrosion problem at high temperature. In this study, we performed static corrosion tests of steels such as 316LN and HT-9 with three different oxygen contents at 650 .deg. C. And, oxygen diffusion behaviors in the liquid metal were also investigated
