Abstract

Fuel claddings of supercritical water-cooled reactor (SCWR) will be used under severe environments such as supercritical water and neutron irradiation. It is one of the key factors to reveal radiation effects on the material performance from the view points of reliability and durability of the fuel claddings. Authors have developed the candidate alloys for the fuel claddings, and investigated radiation effects on them by using specimens irradiated with neutrons up to doses of 5 × 1024 and 1.2 × 10 26 n/m2 (>0.1 MeV) in JMTR and JOYO. As a part of evaluation of neutron irradiation on general corrosion, the alloys, which were irradiated at 600°C, were exposed for over 500 hours in supercritical water at the temperature of 600°C They showed weight change due to oxidation after the exposure, and effects of neutron irradiation on general corrosion of the alloys are discussed from the above results.
