Abstract
The enhancement of the temperature and the concentration of the species on the cladding surface induced by deposits (CRUD) increases the risk of the cladding corrosion in PWR. An oxidation model is developed to accurately predict the corrosion of the Zr-4 cladding in PWRs under the wide range of the boron and lithium concentrations here. Combining this oxidation model with the local thermal-hydraulic model, the CRUD induced local corrosion (CILC) is well predicted and analyzed under various operational conditions, hydrochemical conditions, and CRUD structural parameters. The effects of different conditions on CILC are clearly reflected by the corrosion risk values.
