  37. Corrosion, often associated with a local stress, occurs causing leakage between primary and the steam generating secondary circuits, with all primary circuit fluids. It is customary to block off such leaking boiler tubes. For some coolants including sodium it is necessary to divide the primary into a number of separate loops to allow operation with one loop defective
