Conclusions The investigations of fuel elements with mixed oxide fuel, used in BOR-60, revealed four types of corrosion damage to OKh16N15M3B steel cladding due to the action of fission products. It was shown that the general corrosion develops as a result of the interaction of the cladding with cesium with an oxygen potential created by the mixed oxide fuel. Precipitation of carbides, formed as a result of radiation-thermal aging of the steel, on grain boundaries leads to intercrystallite corrosion of the cladding in the presence of cesium. When mixed oxide fuel with the starting ratio O/M=1.98–2.00 is used in the fuel elements, iodide transport of the components of the steel, giving rise to intercrystallite corrosion of the cladding, occurs. It was demonstrated that chemical activity relative to the stainless steel, leading to corrosion damage to the cladding, is high.
