Abstract
The problem of erosion-corrosion wear (ECW) encountered in the equipment and pipelines of feedwater, condensate, and steam systems of nuclear power plants is considered. Approaches to solving the ECW problem and the preparation of normative documents for the calculation and prediction of ECW rate in Russia and abroad are analyzed.
