Shape Estimation of Defects on Steam Generator Tubes
Most of the nuclear power plants(NPPs) now in service in Japan are based on either of two reactor technologies — PWR and BWR. While the PWR plant requires steam generators(SG), the BWR plant needs no separate SG because of its capability to produce steam directly.

A condition-based probabilistic safety assessment framework for the estimation of the frequency of core damage due to an induced steam generator tube rupture [PDF]
Condition-Based Probabilistic Safety Assessment (CB-PSA) makes use of information on the components health conditions during operation to dynamically update the risk estimators (e.g., Core Damage Frequency (CDF)).

CRACKING IN EGCR STEAM GENERATOR TUBE SHEET
During fabrication of the EGCR steam generator cracking occurred in tube sheet of 1 1/4 Cr-1/2 Mo steel. Cracks were found at the torch-cut surface of the tube sheet following oxyacetylene torch cutting and a subsequent 1300 deg F stress relief. Metallographic examination of specimens containing the cracks showed that the tube sheet had fractured ...
