Chemical State Mapping of Degraded B(4)C Control Rod Investigated with Soft X-ray Emission Spectrometer in Electron Probe Micro-analysis

B(4)C is widely used as control rods in light water reactors, such as the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, because it shows excellent neutron absorption and has a high melting point. However, B(4)C can melt at lower temperatures owing to eutectic interactions with stainless steel and can even...
