Operational Efficiency Evaluation of a Setup for Removing Stresses in the Steam Header of PGV-1000 Steam Generator

Atomic Energy Aims and scope

The effectiveness of a setup for removing stresses in the steam header of a PGV-1000 steam generator is evaluated. The evaluation is based on an investigation of the stress state by means of magnetic anisotropy measurements performed in the zone of the No. 111 weld seam of the hot header of steam generators operating in one of the power-generating units with a V-320 series reactor arrangement. Inspections made it possible to obtain cartograms of the distribution of the difference of the principal mechanical stresses along the perimeter of the weld connection of a PGV-1000 header equipped with a cooling mantle and headers without such a mantle. By means of statistical analysis of the data, a diagram of the distribution of the principal mechanical stresses was obtained. In addition, the distribution of the standard deviation of the principal mechanical stresses as a measure of the dispersion of a random quantity relative to its mathematical expectation was determined.
