PWR primary water chemistry guidelines: Revision 3. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:171345
Ensuring continued integrity of RCS materials of construction and fuel cladding and maintaining the industry trend toward reduced radiation fields requires continued optimization of reactor coolant chemistry. Optimization of coolant chemistry to meet site-specific demands becomes increasingly important in light of the movement toward extended fuel cycles and reduced operating costs. This document is the fourth in a series of industry guidelines on PWR primary water chemistry. Like each of the others in the series, it provides a template for development of a plant-specific water chemistry program.
