PWR/VVER Primary Side Coolant Chemistry, Volume I – Technical Basis and Recent Discussions

(LCC7 STR)
This report is the first volume out of two focusing on PWR/VVER chemistry. This document is intended to provide a detailed description of the PWR/VVER Primary Side Coolant Chemistry. Furthermore, it should provide a strong support to the utilities for establishing a responsive plant specific chemistry program. It may also help the Manufacturers and Regulators at having a detailed approach of primary water chemistry and corresponding issues.

Decontamination and Steam Generator Chemical Cleaning

(LCC5 STR)
The objective of this Report is to help the reader to gain a basic understanding of the mechanisms involved in the Decontamination and the Steam Generator Chemical Cleaning Processes. The processes described do not only deal with the basic description but also with application considerations. A second approach to Decontamination is a chronology of the plant applications which range from components to subsystem and full system Decontamination.

Effect of Zink in BWR and PWR/VVER on Activity Build-Up, IGSCC and Fuel Performance

This Report gives a comprehensive understanding of the zinc chemistry mechanism and information on how Zinc Chemistry in BWR and PWR plants was introduced in the plants and explains the results achieved. This information is useful not only for utilities that are intending to apply Zinc Chemistry in the near future in their plants and for selecting strategies for adding zinc; but also for those utilities that are already applying Zinc Chemistry in order to optimize their strategy based on international experience. It will also be useful for Manufacturers and Regulators.
