Power plant degradation : a modular secondary plant and integral flow accelerated corrosion model
Flow Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) is the most prevalent material degradation mechanism for low carbon steel in steam-water flow systems. The band of uncertainty in predictions of wear rate due to FAC spans one to two orders of magnitude. Such a wide range of uncertainty inhibits the ability to …

Incorporation of Corrosion Mechanisms into a State-dependent Probabilistic Risk Assessment
… which steam generator tubes degraded by stress corrosion cracking rupture due to depressurization following a steam line break resulting from flow-accelerated corrosion. This study was performed by developing a state-dependent risk model. The model has the capability of using traditional PRA …

A Computational Fluid Dynamics based model that predicts wall shear stress in CANDU outlet feeder pipes
… in CANDU reactor outlet feeder pipes due to Flow Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) is identified as one of the challenges for CANDU reactors since it would force them to shut down due to safety reasons. Several models have been developed over time to predict the corrosion rate (i.e. the rate of …
