Effect of the Electrochemical Corrosion Potential of Copper on Plugging of Generator Water-Cooling Circuits

ABSTRACTCopper corrosion-related problems have been frequently reported in the generator water-cooling circuits of both nuclear and thermal power plants operated under the nominally high-oxygen water chemistry (HOWC, dissolved oxygen [DO] >2 ppm) conditions or the nominally low-oxygen water chemi...
