Description

The paper discusses the mechanism of corrosion in reactor vessel and piping in a pressurised water reactor. The main cause is the altered behaviour of water due to changes in its physical properties at high temperature and high pressure. The Co60 produced from small impurity of cobalt in stainless steel is repsponsible for the radio-activity in out-of-core piping. The crud consists of corrosion products having particle size greater than 0.4μm. (author)
