Effects of targeted chlorination on AL-6X condenser tube corrosion in seawater: Final report
This report summarizes the results of 1-year corrosion field tests conducted at New England Power Company's Brayton Point Station to evaluate the effects of targeted chlorination on condenser corrosion. Also summarized are the results of a literature review that collected pertinent information on the corrosion effects of chlorination. The results of the field tests produced no evidence that full-scale targeted chlorination trials planned to be started later at the Brayton Point Station would have any adverse corrosion effects. However, the literature review does indicate that the chlorine dosage required to cause detrimental corrosion effects on certain condenser tube materials not tested in this program is within a range that could be observed in power plant cooling water. Further investigation of the chlorination sensitivity of different condenser tube/tubesheet materials is recommended. 27 refs., 17 figs., 4 tabs.
