소듐분위기에서 물 누출로 인한 Ferrite Steel에서의 반응현상
Reaction Phenomena of the Ferrite Steel by Water Leakage into Liquid Sodium
초록
액체금속로 냉각재인 액체 소듐에서 시편의 누출특성을 소듐-물 반응 실험에 의해 조사하였다. 소듐-물 반응 현상의 확인은 물 누출 실험 전후에 Fe, Cr 및 Ni 등과 같은 시편의 조성 변화로 확인하였다. 100kg/㎠의 누출 압력으로 4시간 동안 시편의 누출 경로를 통해 물을 누출시킨 결과, 누출경로에서 소듐-물 반응생성물들이 침적되어 있는 것을 확인하였으나, 부식에 의해 누출경로가 완전 파열되어 다량의 수증기가 액체 소듐속으로 빠져나가는 re-opening 현상은 관찰되지 않았다. 시편의 누출경로가 막히는 serf-plugging 현상은 소듐-물 반응에 의한 반응생성물과 시편의 부식에 의한 부식 생성물이 주 원인으로 추정되고, re-opening 현상은 시편의 누출경로에서 열적인 transient로 추정되었다
Water leak phenomena in the liquid sodium which is a coolant of liquid metal reactor, were investigated by carrying out sodium-water reaction experiment. It was confirmed that sodium and water react each other by the analysis of material composition of aspecimen at the end of experiment. When steam of 100kg/㎠ was passed through the leak path of the specimen for 4 hours, reaction products from sodium-water reaction were observed on the leak site. However, re-opening phenomena were not observed at this condition. It was interpretted that the reaction product precipitated on leak path and thermal transient caused self-plugging and re-opening phenomena. respectively.
