Pearl, W L; Sawochka, S G; Choi, S S

Secondary system chemistry and steam generator denting progression data for seven pressurized water reactors were reviewed in an attempt to evaluate the effects of boric acid addition on denting. Although laboratory data were conclusive relative to the beneficial effect of boric acid, data from KoRi 1, Indian Point 2, and Indian Point 3, where boric acid was employed for extensive periods, did not allow a similar conclusion to be developed for operating plants.
