Description

In October 1992, at the time of a television inspection on the secondary side of one of the steam generators (SG) in Dampierre 2, it was found the burst of a plugged SG tube. Since then, i order to analyse this phenomenon and its immediate consequences on the surrounding tubes, EDF has carried out model representative tests. This study shows the absence of immediate risks of damaging the tubes adjacent to the tube broken by boiler effect. (author). 3 refs., 4 figs., 3 tabs
