One of the Generation IV nuclear reactor concepts is the supercriticalwater-cooled reactor (SCWR). To assist with plant design and selection of potential construction materials, Pourbaix diagrams for the nickel water-system slightly below and above the critical temperature at a pressure of 25 MPa have been developed. A revised Helgeson-Kirkham-Flowers model with parameters optimized to bunsenite solubility data was used to perform the necessary thermodynamic extrapolations. The third hydrolysis product (Ni(OH)3鈭?/sup>) was included in this study after careful review of new data. The diagrams revealed the need for strict water chemistry control to prevent transitioning to regions of active corrosion.
