Abstract:Steam generators working in nuclear power plants convert water into steam from heat produced in the reactor core and each of them contains from 3,000 to 16,000 tubes. Since these tubes constitute one of primary barriers under radioactive and high pressure condition, the integrity should be maintained carefully during the operation. The objective of this research is to introduce an integrity evaluation system for steam generator tubes as a substitute of well-trained engineers or experts. For this purpose, a cou… Show more
