Abstract

The Lead-cooled fast reactor (LFR) is regarded as a promising fourth-generation advanced power reactor. However, the development of LFR is limited by the corrosion problems of structural materials. Corrosion and oxidation products can deposit on the heat transfer surface during the migration process of the coolant, leading to heat transfer degradation and posing a serious threat to reactor operation safety. In recent years, researchers have conducted extensive research on corrosion protection, as well as the migration, deposition, and impact of corrosion and oxidation products. This paper focuses on oxygen control technology, summarizes the current corrosion protection technologies for lead-cooled fast reactors, introduces the formation mechanisms of common corrosion and oxidation products in lead-cooled fast reactors, briefly summarizes the migration and deposition mechanisms of corrosion and oxidation products, and finally puts forward suggestions for further research based on the current research progress.

期刊介绍： Progress in Nuclear Energy is an international review journal covering all aspects of nuclear science and engineering. In keeping with the maturity of nuclear power, articles on safety, siting and environmental problems are encouraged, as are those associated with economics and fuel management. However, basic physics and engineering will remain an important aspect of the editorial policy. Articles published are either of a review nature or present new material in more depth. They are aimed at researchers and technically-oriented managers working in the nuclear energy field. Please note the following: 1) PNE seeks high quality research papers which are medium to long in length. Short research papers should be submitted to the journal Annals in Nuclear Energy. 2) PNE reserves the right to reject papers which are based solely on routine application of computer codes used to produce reactor designs or explain existing reactor phenomena. Such papers, although worthy, are best left as laboratory reports whereas Progress in Nuclear Energy seeks papers of originality, which are archival in nature, in the fields of mathematical and experimental nuclear technology, including fission, fusion (blanket physics, radiation damage), safety, materials aspects, economics, etc. 3) Review papers, which may occasionally be invited, are particularly sought by the journal in these fields.
