Title: Cleanup of steam cycle drains in PWRs (pressurized water reactors) with once-through steam generators: Final report

Abstract

Ionic contaminants in pressurized water reactor feedwater promotes corrosion of steam generators, and turbine discs and blades. Ionic contaminants which concentrate in once-through steam generator (OTSG) moisture separator drains are a direct source of ionic contaminants in the feedwater. Specifications and cost estimates for an OTSG moisture separator drain cleanup system which uses heat exchangers for heat recovery and ion exchange for contaminant removal are given in this report. 5 refs., 15 figs., 12 tabs.
