Abstract
Pressure-balanced external Ag/AgCl electrode has been extensively used for both Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) and Boiling Water Reactor (PWR) environments. The use of KCI-based buffer solution often becomes the source of electrode potential drift due to slow leakage through its porous plug, typically made of zirconia. It is reported that results of our effort to improve the stability of electrode potential by using high purity water as the filling solution in which
외부 Ag/AgCl 기준 전극은 가압형 및 비등형 경수로 환경에 널리 사용되었다. 전극의 채움 용액 (Siting solution)으로 통상 KCl을 사용하는데, 다공성 지르코니아로 만들어지는 플러그를 통한 Cl 이온의 누설이 전극의 전위차 변동을 유발하는 문제가 있다. 누설로 인한 전위차 변동의 문제를 해결하기 위해 채움 용액으로 순수를 사용하였다 순수를 사용하는 경우 상온에서의 AgCl용해도에 의해 Cl이온의 농도가 결정된다. 붕산과 수산화리튬 혼합용액으로
