IAEA’s Grossi joins seawater sampling at Fukushima Daiichi
International cooperation in the monitoring of radiation levels in seawater near the disabled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant continues. Scientists from China, South Korea, and Switzerland were recently joined by International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi as they collected seawater samples under the “additional measures” framework, which was adapted in 2024 to increase the participation of other countries and enhance the transparency of the IAEA-led analyses.

Research results on corrosion behavior of Flibe (LiF-BeF2 molten salt) against structural materials are reviewed. Thermodynamic calculation and static experiment were carried out. It was found that some kinds of oxide films may work as a protective scale for ferritic steel. For V-based alloy, on the other hand, no stable oxide film can exist in the presence of Flibe. It was also found that Redox control might protect V-based alloy against corrosion.
