Reactor structural member and method of suppressing corrosion of the same
A photocatalytic substance having the properties of an n-type semiconductor is deposited on a surface of a metal base made of a stainless steel or Inconel. When necessary, the hydrogen concentration of the reactor water is increased. A current produced by the photocatalytic substance when the same is irradiated with light or radioactive rays in a nuclear reactor flows through the metal base to reduce corrosion current. When necessary, the photocatalytic substance is provided on its surface with at least one of Pt, Rh, Ru and Pd.
