Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A coating of niobium oxide, zirconium titanate, or nickel titanate is formed on at least a part of a surface of a jet pump member constituting a jet pump serving as a reactor internal structure of a boiling water reactor. Further, a solution containing, e.g., a niobium compound is applied to at least a part of the surface of the jet pump member constituting the jet pump, and the jet pump member coated with the solution is heat-treated to form a coating of, e.g., niobium oxide. With this configuration, the jet pump member constituting the jet pump of the boiling water reactor is provided such that deposition of crud can be sufficiently suppressed on the jet pump member.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing a reactor internal structure, comprising the steps of: applying a titanium-zirconium compound solution to at least a part of a surface of the reactor internal structure constituting a boiling water reactor, the part being exposed to a reactor water; and forming a coating of amorphous zirconium titanate by heat-treating the exposed part of the surface of the reactor internal structure coated with the solution, so that the surface of the reactor internal structure has a negative surface potential. 2. The method of manufacturing a reactor internal structure according to claim 1 , wherein the titanium-zirconium compound solution has a one-to-one atomic ratio of titanium to zirconium. 3. The method of manufacturing a reactor internal structure according to claim 1 , wherein the heat treatment is performed at 80° C. to 600° C. 4. The method of manufacturing a reactor internal structure according to claim 1 , wherein the coating has a thickness of 0.01 μm to 10 μm.
