Abstract To develop the application of 95Nb as an indicator of redox potential for fuel salt in molten salt reactor (MSR), the specific activity of 95Nb in FLiBe salt and its deposition of 95Nb on Hastelloy C276 have been studied. Experimental results indicated that the amount of 95Nb deposited on Hastelloy C276 resulted from its chemical reduction exhibited a positive correlation with the decrease of 95Nb activity in FLiBe salt and the relative deposition coefficient of 95Nb to 103Ru appeared a well correlation with 95Nb activity in FLiBe salt. Both correlations implied that the measurement of 95Nb activity deposited on Hastelloy C276 specimen might provide a quantitative approach for monitoring the redox potential of fuel salt in MSR.

Abstract The 235,238UF4 was irradiated by photo-neutrons, distribution and behavior of the fission product 95Nb from irradiated 235,238UF4 in FLiBe salt were investigated by the measurement of its activity in the salt with the γ-ray spectroscopy. The experiments indicated that a part of 95Nb deposited on the surfaces of graphite and Hastelloy, as the moderator and the structural materials of molten salt reactor (MSR), respectively, and the majority of 95Nb maintained in molten salt. Addition of lithium metal made 95Nb in salt to be reduced and settled, leading to the decrease in its activity. Degree of the decrease was found to be correlated with niobium concentration. The experimental results supported the statement proposed early by ORNL, that 95Nb might be used as a redox indicator for MSR. Finally, the problem met with on-site monitoring for redox potential in MSR was pointed, and a possible protocol to resolve the problem was proposed.
