Abstract
Nuclear power plants (NPPs) result in accumulation of a significant amount of radioactive products during the process of their storage and the presence of a potential release of radioactive products, in the case of an accident that is a source of potential hazard and risk of radiation impact on the personnel, population and environment in general. The paper shows the microgalvanic corrosion element formed on the inner wall of fuel rods made of Zr + 1%Nb alloy and pellets made of uranium oxides, as well as the outer galvanic element of fuel rods and structural materials of the reactor made of steel of different grades. The hazards caused by corrosion damage and release of hazardous radioactive substances from the reactor based operating area are analyzed. The possibility of predicting the rate of corrosion damage using a mathematical model on the thermodynamic approach is determined and established.
