Sodium-water reaction test results and LMFBR steam generator inspection
Description
The large leak test rig provides information on the consequences of sodium-water reaction events in sodium-heated steam generators. Information gained from testing can be used in future steam generator design and as an indication of NDE that may be required for plant inservice inspection. To support testing, new NDE equipment was developed for measuring tube wall wastage, inside diameter, tube deformation, and reaction product deposition. With minor modifications, the NDE equipment can meet Code ISI requirements for plant operation. Models of the test phenomena in reference to post-test inspection, ISI equipment, and potential plant problems are discussed. 9 refs
