Description

Bruce Nuclear Generating Station 'B' (BNGS'B') consists of 4 - 930 MW CANDU units (Units 5 to 8). the station, located on the shores of Lake Huron, is part of the Ontario Hydro Bruce Nuclear Power Development. This paper describes the bleed valve body wall loss discovered during operation and the subsequent efforts to correct the problem. The type and extent of damage is outlined as well as the repair method used. To ensure reliable, long term operation of the valves, a rigorous investigation was undertaken to identify the failure mechanism. Once a failure mode was established, long term solutions could be implemented to ensure valve integrity. (author). 3 refs., 1 tab., 6 figs
