Heavy liquid metal coolants (HLMC) including lead-bismuth and lead make significant corrosion and erosion impact on structural steels. The only way to assure the long-term reliable operation of steels of the primary system components operating in contact with HLMC is to provide protective coating on the steel surface. By now, oxygen-based technology of structural steel surface passivation has...

The design objectives of Fast Reactors (FR) are mostly related to safety, sustainability and economics; waste minimisation is also considered. To meet these objectives, the selection of structural and fuel clad materials is a crucial issue to be considered. Indeed, the materials in FR environment can be subject to intense mechanical stresses, a high energetic neutron field and circulating heat...

In 2010 the Chemistry and Conditioning Programme (CCP) was established to provide R&D support for the engineering and licensing of the MYRRHA nuclear system under development at the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre (SCK-CEN). MYRRHA is an accelerator-driven subcritical nuclear reactor with fast neutron spectrum, using liquid lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) as spallation target material and coolant....

Up to date, the following three main problems can be emphasized concerning technology of Pb-Bi and Pb coolants used in the civilian reactors:
1) maintaining high purity of coolant and cleanness of the surfaces of NPP circuits in order to assure design thermal-hydraulic performance of the plant operating on power up to 100 % during several decades;
2) long-term prevention of corrosion and...

The compatibility of water chemistry with structural materials of steam-water cycle is most important condition for long-term operational reliability of steam generators. Limiting service life factor of the steam generators is usually corrosion damages of heat exchanger tubes from the steam-water side. In view of this the mostly proven in practice reference design and engineering solutions...

ALLEGRO is a helium-cooled experimental fast reactor, which is under development by the consortium „V4G4 Centre of Excellence” (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia) associated with France. The current pre-conceptual stage of development by the V4G4 CoE is based on the 75 MWt concept presented by CEA in 2009. The main purpose of ALLEGRO is 1) Demonstration of viability of the...
