Solids filtration of high-temperature feedwater in a PWR secondary circuit: Final report

Description

Pressurized water reactor steam generators and turbines have experienced a variety of corrosion problems as a result of ionic, corrosion product and oxidizing species transport to the steam generators. Installation of high temperature filters on final feedwater, high pressure drains and moisture separator drains to reduce corrosion product ingress to the steam generators of a 1160 MWe design basis plant are specified and evaluated. Cost estimates for installing electromagnetic filters, and added operating and maintenance costs are given. 18 refs., 12 figs., 9 tabs
