CX-022586: The effect of LWR primary coolant water chemistry (LiOH vs. KOH) on stainless steel: An integrated experimental and computational study of the corrosion response of stainless steel for different surface microstructures and mechanical stress

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) proposes to study the effect of surface microstructure, mechanical stress factors, and radiation damage on the corrosion response of stainless steel under two different alkaline pressurized water reactor primary water alkalinizing agent chemistry conditions.
