Cracking in a Steam Generator U-Tube
2019Abstract A rupture of a thirty-year-old U-tube on a steam generator for a closed-cycle pressurized-water nuclear power plant occurred, resulting in limited release of reactor water. A typical tube bundle can be over 9 m (30 ft) tall and 3 m (10 ft) in diam with over 3,000 22-mm (7/8-in.) diam Inconel Alloy 600 tubes. Tube support plates (

Steam generator tube vibration tests
Nuclear Engineering and Design, 1985Abstract The buildup of magnetite in the steam generators of some pressurized water reactors had led operators to propose chemical cleaning to remove this product. In some cases, the volume of magnetite formed by the corrosion of the carbon steel has been sufficient to cause “denting” or reduction of the outer diameter of the tubes where they pass ...

In-Situ Pressure Testing of Steam Generator Tubes
10th International Conference on Nuclear Engineering, Volume 1, 2002The anatomist John Hunter said, “But why think? Why not try the experiment?” His words are applicable to in-situ pressure testing as a means of performing condition monitoring of steam generator tubes. Other methods of performing condition monitoring include the application of theoretical burst and leakage equations (deterministic methods ...

A Contribution to Assessment of Steam Generator Tubes Integrity
2005Three-dimensional linear and non-linear finite element analyses have been carried out to determine the stress intensity factors, the J-integral and the plastic limit loads for external axial semi-elliptical surface cracks in VVER steam generator tubes under internal pressure.
