Application of Hi-F Coatfor Recontamination Reduction at Shimane Unit 1 Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy, Ltd. M. Nagase, N. Usui, S. Oouchi Energy & Environmental Research Laboratory, Hitachi, Ltd. H. Hosokawa Chugoku Electric Power Company, Ltd. H. Kajitani, A. Yamashita, T. Minami
Background • Dose rate reduction effects don’t last long after operation. • Recontamination reduction is needed to keep low dose rate.
What is Hi-F Coat Principal of recontamination reduction Formation of fine outer magnetite film before power operation ⇒Reduction of inner oxide film formation to pick upCo Hi-F Coat : Hitachi Ferrite Coating

Summary • Hi-F Coat was first applied to Shimane Unit 1 after chemical decontamination. • Hi-F Coat treatment was successfully applied to the decontaminated surface. Deposited amount of film was about 270 μg/cm2 which was more than target value of 60 μg/cm2. • Recontamination was suppressed about 1/2 to 1/3 after one operation cycle. • Coated film was easy to be removed by chemical decontamination. • Farther dose rate reduction can be expected with Zn injection.
