Abstract Scope |
Structural materials degradation is a key concern of applications of molten salt in advanced nuclear reactors. The degradation is due to the interfacial interactions which include such as dissolution, oxidation, salt penetration and carbonization. In this presentation, we will cover the behaviors and mechanisms of these interactions and their impacts on material corrosion. We will consider both actinide- and fission product-bearing salts and clean salts to illustrate the effects of actinide and some major fission products. In addition, the presentation will discuss methods on how to inhibit the corrosion as well as a simple model to predict the corrosion kinetics in a non-isothermal nuclear coolant loop. |
