Abstract
The destruction of the passive oxide can be caused by the action of a radionuclide, which collides with the surface of the oxide. In this case, the β− nuclear particle produced by the decay of tritiated water is considered for corrosion, and it follows that the β− energy is absorbed first into the oxide. The penetration depth is sufficient for all the passive oxides to be destabilized. Destabilization was examined by voltammetry and by the electrochemical circuit in the passive potential. The corresponding pathway leads to the destruction of oxide. Tests carried out using a chaos data analyzer are an aid for expertise. Different behavior may occur depending on the passive potential and the β− density. The synchronization of phase space spectra and tests realized sector by sector make possible the interpretation of divergence leading to unstable oxide and oxide destruction at different passive potentials and for different β− particle densities.
