Steam Generator Management Program: Summary of 2016 Research into Lead Stress Corrosion Cracking Trends—Effect of Applied Potential on Alloy 690TT and pH on Alloy 800
Recent research suggests that the presence of lead can be linked to stress corrosion cracking of steam generator tubing in nuclear plants. In this study, EPRI investigated the conditions of a plant’s secondary water in which tubing materials are susceptible to lead-related stress corrosion cracking.
