Description
Summary:The construction of the PGN-200M steam generator of a BN-600 power-generating unit at the Beloyarskaya nuclear power plant is described. Data from 25 years of operation are presented and the basic questions which were solved during the startup-adjustment work, which increased the operational reliability of the steam generator, are elucidated. The advantages of steam generators with different designs are compared, and it is concluded that it is desirable to develop a high-power sodium-cooled vessel steam generator for future facilities.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
