Description

The electrochemical corrosion potential (ECP) of stainless steel has been measured under simulated Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) coolant circuit conditions using a rotating cylinder electrode. Based on the results of measurements an empirical model has been developed to predict the ECP of structure materials in a BVTR primary circuit as a function of H2, O2, and H2O2 concentrations in reactor coolant and water flow velocity. The ECP modeling results using the H2, O2, and H2O2 concentrations calculated by the radiolysis model are compared with the available reactor internal ECP data obtained in an operating reactor
