Assessment of condenser leakage problems. Final report. [PWR]
The results are presented of a technical planning study of condenser leakage problems which was performed for EPRI. The planning study utilized information gathered by an HEI questionnaire on condenser tube leakage and the results of an earlier EPRI sponsored Bechtel survey of condenser leakage experience in steam plants. Problem areas discussed in the report include air leakage, locating cooling water leaks, tube ID inlet attack, fouling, steam side erosion, flow induced vibration, OD corrosion, and tube to tubesheet leakage.
