Evaluation of the Effects of Flexible Power Operations on Secondary-Side Iron Transport and Deposit Management Strategies
This report evaluates one potential consequence of flexible operations at nuclear plants: the increased transport of iron corrosion products to the secondary side of pressurized water reactor steam generators. Researchers reviewed EPRI’s Chemistry Monitoring and Assessment Database for instances of steady power operation following a power transient and evaluated the feedwater iron concentration data in […]
