Development of Eddy-Current Probes for the Evaluation of Magnetite in the Support-Plate Crevices of Nuclear Steam Generators
Eddy current technique has played an important role in the understanding of the corrosion behavior of steam generator components. Until recently, its role has been primarily in the evaluation of the condition of the heat exchanger tubes. Recent developments have led to the use of this technique for detecting corrosion of the carbon steel plates supporting the tubes. The detection and quantifica...
متن کاملNew Generation Nuclear Power Plants
− The radioactivity measurement techniques being developed within the EMRP “MetroFission” Joint Research Project (JRP) [1], are aimed at performing on-site activity measurements, by the development of a portable Triple to Double Coincidence Ratio (TDCR) system along with associated digital electronics. The TDCR standardisation method for beta-emitting radionuclides (e.g. H and Pu) produces an e...
متن کاملWavelet network controller for nuclear steam generators
Poor control of steam generator water level is the main cause of unexpected shutdowns in nuclear power plants. Particularly at low powers, it is a difficult task due to shrink and swell phenomena and flow measurement errors. In addition, the steam generator is a highly complex, nonlinear and time-varying system and its parameters vary with operating conditions. Therefore, it seems that design o...
متن کاملSteam Generators for the Next Generation of Power Plants Aspects of Design and Operating Performance
The requirements to be met by the next generation of power plants are subject to various criteria depending on regional considerations. Whereas efficiency together with environmental protection, availability and power generating costs head the list of priorities in the highly industrialized countries, investment costs and financing are becoming increasingly important factors in the growth count...
متن کاملPower Plants, Steam and Gas Turbines WebQuest
A WebQuest is an Internet-based and inquiry-oriented learning activity. The aim of this work is to outline the creation of a WebQuest entitled “Power Generation Plants: Steam and Gas Turbines.” This is one of the topics covered in the course “Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer,” which is offered in the second year of Mechanical Engineering at the Defense University Center at the Naval Academy in ...
