Estimation of activity inventories in primary circuits of pressurized water reactors

  • 1. Westinghouse Electric Corp., Pittsburgh, Pa. (USA)

Description

Recent measurements of surface concentrations of deposits on eleven Westinghouse PWR cores, and the determination of metal release rates from corroding Type 304 stainless steel and from Inconel-600 under chemical and thermohydraulic conditions approaching those in PWRs, are used to estimate crud activity levels expected after two and twelve months of operation of a typical 1000 MW(e) plant.
