Patent number: 8524056Abstract: An electrochemical corrosion potential sensor (ECP sensor) has an electrode cap, an electrode fixing body, a tubular insulator, a tubular metallic housing, and a conductive wire. Both ends of the tubular insulator are connected to the electrode fixing body and the tubular metallic housing respectively. A conductive wire passes through the tubular insulator and the tubular metallic housing, and is connected to an inner surface of the electrode fixing body. The electrode cap 11 disposed to cover an outer surface of the electrode fixing body. The ECP sensor with such a construction can lengthen the lifetime.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2010Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy, Ltd.Inventors: Kazushige Ishida, Yoichi Wada, Masahiko Tachibana, Motomasa Fuse, Naoshi Usui, Motohiro Aizawa, Nobuyuki Ota

Patent number: 8175211Abstract: The object of this invention is to provide a method for mitigating a stress corrosion cracking of reactor structural material which makes it possible to suppress the rise in the main steam line dose rate without secondary effects such as a rise in the concentration of radioactive cobalt-60, etc. in the reactor water. Hydrogen and a reductive nitrogen compound containing nitrogen having a negative oxidation number (for example, hydrazine) are injected into the core water of boiling water nuclear power plant. By injecting the reductive nitrogen compound containing nitrogen having a negative oxidation number into the core water, the stress corrosion cracking of structural material of reactor can be mitigated without side reactions such as a rise in the concentration of cobalt-60, etc.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2008Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: Hitachi-Ge Nuclear Energy, Ltd.Inventors: Kazushige Ishida, Yoichi Wada, Makoto Nagase, Masahiko Tachibana, Masao Endo, Motomasa Fuse, Naoshi Usui, Motohiro Aizawa
