Description

The primary heat transport system(PHTS) in CANDU 600 nuclear power plant produces enormous heat from the natural uranium by nuclear fission and transfers it to the secondary system, where converts the feedwater into steam to rotate the turbine generator. The PHTS has two loops and each of them is composed of fuel channels, steam generator, pressurizer, heat transport pump and pipings. The CANDU 600 nuclear power plant started its commercial operation in the world since 1983 and has been operated for about 20 years and various aging phenomena has been observed especially in the PHTS. This paper describes the aging phenomena and countermeasures in the PHTS through document survey
