| description | Corrosion is one of the main reasons for in-core accidents in liquid sodium-cooled fast reactors, especially accidents due to fuel cladding pipe damage. It is urgently required to investigate what kind of compound is produced as a corrosion product after the interaction between stainless steel and sodium in fast breeder reactors (FBR). In this work, the identification and quantification of sodium contaminant on steel surfaces has been conducted using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy utilizing the specific characteristics of a pulse transversely excited atmospheric CO2 laser. Experimentally, a pulse TEA CO2 laser (Shibuya, 10.64 μm, 200 ns) was directed and bombarded onto the sodium contaminant deposited on the surface of stainless steel. An excellent emission spectrum of sodium from the contaminant was obtained without any disturbance from analytical lines from the steel itself. A quantification of sodium contaminant on the steel surface has been successfully made by a linear calibration curve obtained from steel containing various concentrations of sodium. The limit of detection of sodium on the metal surface was estimated to be 0.5 mg/kg. Also, a comparative sodium analysis study was qualitatively made by using LIBS utilizing a pulse Nd:YAG laser. The results demonstrate that the present technique of TEA CO2 LIBS is far superior to the case of Nd:YAG LIBS, as proven by an excellent emission spectrum of sodium with optimum intensity, and low noise and background emission. |
