The Effect Of Hydrazine Addition On The Formation Of Oxygen Molecule By Fast Neutron Radiolysis

<p>Hypothetically speaking, hydrazine could suppress the oxygen formation as a major of corrosion initiator. In this work, we developed a calculation model to understand the effect of hydrazine addition toward the oxygen under PWR condition. Our great interest is to study whether this strategy would also be effectively applied in PWRs<a href="file:///C:/Users/Mohamad%20Mostafa/Desktop/Knowledge%20E/In%20Press%20Conferences/ICoNETS-2015/Source-Manuscripts/20_L05-Geni_p136-141.docx#_msocom_1">[P1]</a> . In the present work, the effect of hydrazine on suppressing the molecule oxygen under neutron irradiation is described. The simulation was done by using FACSIMILE. The variation dose applied assuming a batch system and at high dose ~10⁴ Gy s^-1. Three different temperatures were applied, which are room temperature, 250 and 300 ^oC at two system oxygenated water, which are aeration and deaeration. At room temperature, for deaerated condition, added hydrazine under a range of 10^-6 – 10^-4 M into primary coolant were not effective to suppress O₂form since the effect was similar as in the pure water system since for 10^-3 M hydrazine addition, a large produce of O₂were obtained. In reverse, for deaerated condition, hydrazine concentrate about 10^-3 M can suppress O₂ form significantly, while hydrazine add in the range between 10^-6 – 10^-4 M is again confirmed to be the same as in pure water system. For high temperature, at 250 and 300 ^oC, the results showed that in deaerated condition, hydrazine addition can suppress O₂formproportionally to its concentration while in aerated condition, hydrazine add with concentration of 10^-6 and 10^-5 M were not effectively to suppress O₂form,a slightly decrease of O₂ occurred due to the addition of 10^-4 M hydrazine and 10^-3 M of hydrazine can suppress the formation of O₂ significantly. <a href="file:///C:/Users/Mohamad%20Mostafa/Desktop/Knowledge%20E/In%20Press%20Conferences/ICoNETS-2015/Source-Manuscripts/20_L05-Geni_p136-141.docx#_msocom_2">[P2]</a> </p><div><hr align="left" size="1" width="33%" /><div><div><p> <a href="file:///C:/Users/Mohamad%20Mostafa/Desktop/Knowledge%20E/In%20Press%20Conferences/ICoNETS-2015/Source-Manuscripts/20_L05-Geni_p136-141.docx#_msoanchor_1">[P1]</a>The added sentence</p><p> </p></div></div><div><div><p> <a href="file:///C:/Users/Mohamad%20Mostafa/Desktop/Knowledge%20E/In%20Press%20Conferences/ICoNETS-2015/Source-Manuscripts/20_L05-Geni_p136-141.docx#_msoanchor_2">[P2]</a>The revised sentence</p></div></div></div>
