Abstract

Heat exchanger tubes provided by Paks NPP Ltd. were investigated in a pilot -plant circulation system in order to obtain findings on the efficiency of oxide layer removal, as well as on the corrosion and solution chemical effects of a version of the FRAMATOME CORD -UV technology. Following the dissolution experiments of the oxide layer, time dependence of the chemical concentration of the corrosion produ cts removed into the boric acid solution in the course of the modelling of the reactor restarting period (30 hours) was also studied. During the above chemical treatments the radioactivity, corrosion rate, morphology, chemical and phase compositions of the inner surface of the sample tubes were analyzed by γ-spectrometry, voltammetry, CEMS, XRD and SEM -EDX methods.
