Abstract
This report presents a review of acceptance limits for steam generator tube loss of wall thickness for Bruce B. The limits are directed at loss of wall resulting from fretting wear experienced at U-bend supports. The report also reviews experience in other countries regarding occurrence of fretting wear and other flow-induced vibration problems, such as fatigue and corrosion fatigue. It reviews contemplated remedial fixes for the Bruce B fretting problems, and develops conclusions and recommendations regarding the remedial approaches and supporting inspection plans. (Author) 93 refs., 9 figs.
