Steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) scenarios [PDF]

Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2005
The steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) scenarios project was carried out in the EU 5th framework programme in the field of nuclear safety during years 2000–2002. The first objective of the project was to generate a comprehensive database on fission product retention in a steam generator. The second objective was to verify and develop predictive models

Factors Affecting Steam Generator Tube Bow

Volume 3: Design and Analysis, 2013
One of the challenges in straight shell-and-tube Steam Generator design is to avoid the tube to tube wear that can arise during operation due to higher than anticipated compressive tube loads and the resulting tube bow that can occur. Tube bow becomes significant when the compressive load in the tube exceeds its critical buckling capacity.

Intergranular Fracture of Steam Generator Tubes

2019
Abstract A power plant using two steam generators (vertical U-tube and shell heat exchangers, approximately 21 m (68 ft) high with a steam drum diameter of 6 m (20 ft)) experienced a steam generator tube rupture. Each steam generator contained 11,012 Inconel alloy 600 (nickel-base alloy) tubes measuring 19 mm OD, nominal wall thickness ...

Development of stabilizers for steam generator tube repair

Nuclear Engineering and Design, 1987
Abstract Fluidelastic stability, turbulence-induced and vortex-induced vibration analysis of different types of stabilizers for repairing steam generator tubes are presented. The performances of the different designs are compared with that of a common basis — the virgin tube.

Evaluation of the Burst Properties of a Steam Generator Tube

Solid State Phenomena, 2006
A steam generator is a bundle of tubes which transfer the heat of reactor to the turbine through the reactor cooling system. In the reactor cooling system, the steam generator tube is subject to inner pressure at reactor part and outer pressure at turbine part. The outer pressure has been often disregarded in the burst test of the steam generator tube,

Caustic Cracking of Steam Generator Tube Materials

CORROSION 1976, 1976
Failures of Inconel-600 steam generator tubes by caustic induced stress corrosion cracking have occurred in pressurized water reactors around the world.1,2 These failures have occurred in plants which used coordinated phosphate control of the secondary chemistry,3 in those which used an all volatile treatment,4 and in those which were in transition ...

Ginna Steam Generator Tube Rupture

1984
At 9:25 a. m. on January 25, 1982, a single steam generator tube ruptured in the “B” steam generator at the R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant. Prior to the incident, the plant, a two-loop Westinghouse design, had been operating at full power with no indications of primary to secondary leakage.

Leak-before-break in steam generator tubes

International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping, 1990
Abstract The steam generator tubing constitutes one of the main barriers against the release of activity to the environment. The capacity of the tubing to withstand safely the loads exerted on it during normal operation and faulted conditions is therefore the most important factor in steam generator safety evaluation.

Reliability of Steam Generator Tubes With Axial Cracks

Journal of Pressure Vessel Technology, 1996
An approach for estimating the failure probability of tubes containing through-wall axial cracks has already been proposed by the authors. It is based on probabilistic fracture mechanics and accounts for scatter in tube geometry and material properties, scatter in residual and operational stresses responsible for crack propagation, and characteristics ...
