Abstract
A nuclear power plant using a structural material consisting of metal which comes into contact with a liquid in which radioactive substances are dissolved has a function to suppress the deposition of the radioactive substances. In this function, metal elements constituting the surface layer of the structural material which comes into contact with the liquid are oxidized by injecting oxidizing agents from outside, thereby preliminarily producing an oxide film. The oxidizing agents comprise at least one kind selected from the group consisting of oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, chromate, nitrite, molybdate, tungstate and ferrate. Particularly, by suppressing the deposition of radioactive substances on a stainless steel, the dose rate of exposure of workers is effectively reduced.
