| Abstract | This study conducts a critical review on the studies of material corrosion and deposition on the secondary circuit of a pressurized water reactor, especially on the steam generators (SGs). Available knowledge has shown that the structural materials in the environment of the secondary circuit are susceptible to flow-accelerated corrosion and deposition-induced degradation. The deposition of the non-volatile impurities, especially the corrosion products, on the SG surfaces can be a primary cause of material degradations, including stress corrosion cracking. The review will analyze the fouling mechanisms and behaviors, the source of impurities, corrosion mechanisms, and the factors that affect the deposition and corrosion behaviors. |
