A Comparative Study of the EP823 Steel Corrosion Resistance in Lead and Lead-Bismuth Coolants

  • Published:
Atomic Energy Aims and scope

The article considers EP823 12% Cr ferrite-martensite steel, selected in terms of the material for fuel rod claddings, as well as the control and protection elements of BREST OD-300 and SVBR-100 reactors. Based on the analysis of the published results of non-isothermal circulation facility tests, a comparison of EP823 steel corrosion rates in a liquid lead and lead-bismuth eutectic system demonstrated their proximity.
