Steam generator tube failures [PDF]
A review and summary of the available information on steam generator tubing failures and the impact of these failures on plant safety is presented. The following topics are covered: pressurized water reactor (PWR), Canadian deuterium uranium (CANDU) reactor, and Russian water moderated, water cooled energy reactor (VVER) steam generator degradation ...

Steam Generator Secondary pH during a Steam Generator Tube Rupture [PDF]
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission requires utilizes to determine the response of a pressurized water reactor to a steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) as part of the safety analysis for the plant. The SGTR analysis includes assumptions regarding the partitioning of iodine between liquid and vapor in steam generator secondary.

ROSA/LSTF test and RELAP5 code analyses on PWR steam generator tube rupture accident with recovery actions [PDF]
An experiment was performed for the OECD/NEA ROSA-2 Project with the large-scale test facility (LSTF), which simulated a steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) accident due to a double-ended guillotine break of one of steam generator (SG) U-tubes with ...

Failure Analysis of Steam Generator Tubes
Steam generator fabricated of alloy 600 tubes has been replaced in the last decades by newer versions built with alloy 690 or alloy 800 tubes. At first, it was thought that both alloys were resistant to SCC mechanisms but after several years of operation, some NPPs developed denting processes and IGSCC, especially in alloy 800.
