| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The malfunction of venting system was a reason which worsened the accident of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in 2011. Consequently, the improvement of venting system is important as a safety measure in nuclear power plants. The purpose of this research is to develop a porous metallic filter impregnated with a low-melting-point alloy. A filter made of Oxide Dispersion Strengthened steel, which has an attractive corrosion resistance and a superior high temperature strength, impregnated with a Sn-Bi alloy was developed. This impregnated filter becomes porous at temperatures higher than the melting point of the low-melting-point alloy and it can automatically vent the reactor pressure vessel. In addition, the external emission of radioactive iodine and cesium can be reduced by the effect of cold trap.
