Zinc ion injection passivation technique is being used in BWRs in order to reduce the radiation field build-up around the reactor coolant system. In the case of PWRs and PHWRs, the chemistry of the primary coolant system and the materials of construction are different from those of BWRs. In the present paper, the results of studies on the effect of magnesium ion in modifying the oxide layers formed under PHWR chemistry conditions are reported. The experiments carried out at room temperature and at 265'C are described. Electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) of the materials autoclaved at 265 "C in magnesium containing solution has also been reported.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
