Steam Generator Group Project Round Robin Plans and Objectives

摘要

The objective of the Steam Generator Group project is to provide confirmatory research leading to the optimization of inservice inspection criteria. This includes the inspection procedures, sampling plan, inspection period and tube plugging guidelines for safe operation of steam generators. This project is being conducted at the Pacific Northwest Laboratories. As a research vehicle, the project will utilize a service degraded steam generator that prematurely failed and was removed from the Surry 2 nuclear station. This specimen provides a unique capability to conduct research on service induced defects. The ultimate goal of this research is to accurately define the characterization of defects in a steam generator. (ERA citation 09:043251)
