Description
To increase the integrity of operating steam generator tubes, the operation at reduced temperature (ORT) can be applied, which reduced possibility of the crack initiation and crack growth rate by stress corrosion of tubes. But it may increases the fluidelastic instability of flow-induced vibration by mass flow rate change of the secondary coolant. Therefore, the structural integrity of the tube bundle must be considered to apply the operation at reduced temperature (ORT) to the operating plants. In this study on KSNP steam generator tube, the fluidelastic instability is increased about 4.7% for a reduced primary fluid inlet temperature by 10 .deg. F
