Description

Wisconsin Public Service Corporation personnel at the Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant decided to replace their potassium chromate inhibitor in the component cooling water (CCW) system in order to eliminate the possibility of needing to dispose of radioactively contaminated chromate solution in the future. This paper discusses the replacement effort, which included identifying an environmentally acceptable replacement inhibitor that was as effective as chromate for corrosion inhibition and implementing the inhibitor changeover program
