BECO's experience at Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station with feedwater heaters and associated systems
Description
A feedwater heater (E-102B-fourth point heating stage) located in the condenser neck at Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station had a succession of operating problems which led to replacement of the unit during the Refueling Outage No. 6 in January-February 1984. This paper outlines the testing performed on the heater, correlated with operating requirements in order to restore the system performance
