Analysis of PWR steam generator hideout return data employing EPRI`s MLTLTEQ codes yielded wide variations in predicted crevice solution pH. Reliable correlations of pH and hideout return and operating molar ratios of sodium to chloride and sodium to chloride plus sulfate were not present. Crevices were predicted to contain concentrated solutions of sodium chloride and potassium chloride during operation.
