Abstract

The long term integrity of concrete cask is very important for spent nuclear fuel dry storage system. However, there are serious concerns about early deterioration of concrete cask from creaking and corrosion of reinforcing steel by chloride ion because the cask is usually located in seaside, expecially by combined deterioration such as chloride ion and heat, carbonation. This study is to investigate the relation between temperature and chloride ion diffusion of concrete. Immersion tests using 3.5% NaCl solution that were controlled in four level of temperature, i.e. 20, 40, 65, and $90^{\circ}C$, were conducted for four months. The chloride ion diffusion coefficient of concrete was predicted based on the results of profiles of Cl- ion concentration with the depth direction of concrete specimens using the method of potentiometric titration by $AgNO_3$. Test results indicate that the diffusion coefficient of chloride ion increases remarkably with increasing temperature, and there was a linear relation between the natural logarithm values of the diffusion coefficients and the reciprocal of the temperature from the Arrhenius plots. Activation energy of concrete in this study was about 46.6 (W/C = 40%), 41.7 (W/C = 50%), 30.7 (W/C = 60%) kJ/mol under a temperature of up to $90^{\circ}C$, and concrete with lower water-cement ratio has a tendency towards having higher temperature dependency.

사용후핵연료의 중간저장시설인 콘크리트 캐스크(cask)는 해안부근에 입지할 가능성이 크기 때문에 염해에 대한 문제가 크게 우려된다. 그리고 염해에 의한 철근의 부식 및 균열발생은 철근콘크리트구조물의 방사선 차폐기능뿐 아니라 구조성능 저하의 주요 원인이기 때문에 염해에 대한 평가는 매우 중요한 사항이다. 특히 염해환경과 함께 콘크리트 캐스크 내부에서는 사용후핵연료의 발열에 의해 $60^{\circ}C$정도의 고온 환경이 예상되기 때문에 고온에서의 염해에 대한 검토가 요구되지만, 기존 콘크리트 구조물의 염해평가에서는 온도에 대한 영향이 전혀 고려되어 있지 않아 고온에서 염해에 노출된 철근콘크리트구조물들의 내구설계 및 수명예측을 위해 참고할 만한 자료가 거의 없다. 이 연구에서는 다양한 온도환경에서의 염수(NaCl)침지시험을 통해 콘크리트의 염화물이온 확산계수를 측정하고 염화물이온 확산계수와 온도의 관계를 규명하고자 하였다. 실험 결과, 콘크리트의 염화물이온 확산계수는 온도의 증가에 따라 현저히 증대하여 고온환경에서의 염해 발생가능성이 매우 큰 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 크리트의 염화물이온 확산계수는 물시멘트(W/C)비가 낮아질수록 감소하였고, 이 경향은 온도가 증가(고온환경)하여도 동일하게 나타났다. 염화물이온 확산계수의 온도의존성은 아레니우스식(Arrhenius equation)으로 나타내어졌고 회귀분석 결과, 확산계수의 대수 값은 절대온도의 역수와 선형관계를 나타내었다. 또한 온도의존성을 나타내는 활성화에너지(activation energy)는 물시멘트(W/C)비가 낮을수록 높게 나타났다.
