SUMMARY Poor control of steam generator water level of a nuclear power plant may lead to frequent nuclear reactor shutdowns. These shutdowns are more common at low power where the plant exhibits strong non-minimum p...

While the issue on Direct Containment Heating (DCH) was resolved for US reactor plants in the 1990s it was found that the consequences of DCH processes are strongly dependent on the reactor cavity configuration. Therefore, an experimental and analytical program was started in 1998 to investigate melt ejection scenarios for typical German and European reactor designs. Six experiments have been p...

Nuclear energy is one of the most important clean energy on earth presently. The steam generator secondary side is the key device of nuclear power station. As an important branch of special robot, nuclear robot is the most convenient and effective mean to inspect the steam generator. This paper describes one robot system which could help users inspecting tubes and locating the robot inside the ...

This report analyzes the technical aspects and the economics of utilizing nuclear reactor to provide the energy needed for a Canadian oil sands extraction facility using SteamAssisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) technology. The energy from the nuclear reactor would replace the need for energy supplied by natural gas, which is currently burned at these facilities. There are a number of concerns surr...

A steam generator is the major component of a nuclear power plant and its integrity is crucial for the nuclear safety. Steam generator tube eddy current bobbin inspections are periodically performed for utility to detect tube degradation. Scaled deposits on the steam generator tubes cause the performance degradation problem and the thickness of the outer diameter tube surface can be measured us...

The helical steam generator is connected to an HTGR-type nuclear reactor called PeLUIt-40 for production. Steam used generate electricity and hydrogen. A once-through tube bundle was employed because of its ability endure mechanical stress due thermal expansion, high resistance flow-induced vibrations, better performance compared a straight one. To produce the targeted steam, design analysis ne...

In nuclear power plants, the main corrosion product that is deposited on the outside of steam generator tubes is porous magnetite. The objective of this study was to simulate porous magnetite that is deposited on thermally treated (TT) Alloy 690 steam generator tubes. A magnetite layer was electrodeposited on an Alloy 690TT substrate in an Fe(III)-triethanolamine solution. After electrodepositi...
