Abstract
The effects of coolant pH on the crud deposition behavior on the Zr alloy and the FeCrAl fuel cladding tubes under subcooled nucleate boiling condition were investigated. With the increase of coolant pH, the coverage rate and thickness of crud on the surfaces of both the Zr alloy and the FeCrAl fuel cladding tubes showed a decreasing trend. The solubility of crud compositions was reduced due to the increase of coolant pH, which resulted in the inhibition of the crud deposition process caused by SNB condition. Consequently, the elevated coolant pH value reduced the amount of crud on the surface of the fuel cladding tube.
