Water Chemistry and Corrosion of Nuclear Power Plant Structural Material

This book addresses structural material corrosion in coolant circuits, simulation of erosion corrosion of carbon and low-alloy steels, and simulation of stress corrosion. It also discusses corrosion of copper alloys, zirconium corrosion, optimization of water chemistry at operating nuclear power plants, coolant tendency to deposit hardness salts on heat-transfer surfaces, and inspection of metallic components. In addition, there are two appendixes, the first showing the chemical composition of steels, the second discussing solubility of iron, cobalt, zinc and copper corrosion products under conditions simulating power unit water chemistry.Kritsky, V. G. is the author of 'Water Chemistry and Corrosion of Nuclear Power Plant Structural Material', published 1999 under ISBN 9780894485657 and ISBN 0894485652.
