Abstract

In order to elucidate the behaviour of radioactive corrosion products (CPs) in sodium cooling systems of fast reactor the radioactive deposition and distribution within the primary system have been measured and evaluated using a model for CP transport at JOYO, the Japanese experimental fast reactor. The main purpose of the studies has been to try and establish the calculational model for predicting the release and deposition and distribution of CPs in fast reactor sodium cooling systems. This paper reports the findings from these measurements and evaluations, and highlight the feature in CP transport behaviour which have to be taken into consideration to update the model.
