Abstract:TiO 2 addition into boiling water reactor (BWR) primary system is being developed as a method to mitigate stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of the BWR structural materials. This technique aims for electrochemical corrosion potential (ECP) decrease of reactor materials by photo-excitation reaction under Cherenkov irradiation. Tests have been conducted in the test loop in both BWR and OECD Halden reactor to investigate the feasibility of the SCC mitigation method with TiO 2 . The test results showed that the ECP o… Show more
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.
