Turkey Point Steam Generator Repair and Influence of ~Jater Chemistr By H.
N. Paduano, R. J. Acosta, and A. J.
Gould Due to the progression of steam generator 'tube denting in the Turkey Point steam
. generators, FPL made the decision to begin a program aimed at repai ring the steam generators.
The program included evaluation of 'various repair alternatives, including retubing of the steam generators'n place.
The evaluation concluded that a replacement of the lower assembly (primary channel head plus tube bundle and secondary shell) was the best alternative.
Such a repair was evaluated to offer the least construction process uncertainties, the shortest estimated outage time, and also enabled the repaired steam generator to incorporate all of the latest design improvements.
The repaired steam generators will have the following improvements:
a) thermally treated inconel tubes b) stainless steel broached tube support plates c) full depth expansion of tubes into the tribe sheet d) increased recirculation ratio e) improved blowdown design f) improved moisture separation equipment g) capability for wet layup recirculation h) improved access for secondary side inspections Along with the steam oenerator repair program, FPL-also has a program aimed at improved "water chemistry" for the steam generators and feedwater cycle, As a
part of this program, FPL is investigating systems that will be designed to address problems associated with sludge, copper, chloride, oxygen, and other contaminants.
Consideration is being given to shutdown and startup as well as normal operating modes.
Areas under investigation include a feedwater recircu-lation cleanup
- system, magnetic filtration of the main feedwater, retubing of the main feedwater heaters with stainless
- steel, and deaeration of the condensate storage tank.
Also included in the program is the most important effort to obtain a leak free main condenser.
In this regard, FPL believes that titanium tubing provides the greatest assurance for eliminating leakage and has already retubed three out of the eight waterboxes at Turkey Point Unit Nos.
3 and 4 with titanium.
The experience thus far, after about two years of operati on has been excellent.
While the exact schedule for repair of the steam generators is not finalized, it is possible that it could begin during the first quarter of 1979 on Turkey Point Unit 4.
Following the repair, Florida Power 5 Light Company will implement a water
chemistry program which closely. follows the latest recommendations of the NSSS ven'dor'.'resently, it is anticipated that an All Volatile -Treatment (AVT) program will be utilized with major emphasis on limiting operation outside.the specified normal chemistry, limits.
The water chemistry program will be designed to provi de increased protection of the repaired steam generator.
The operating limits are expected to be very stringent, thus requiring procedural and equipment modifications, such as discussed above, to enable desired unit performance.
In summary, FPL has implemente'd a repair program that will result in improved steam generators.
Along with the repair effort, a compa'nion program whose aim is for increased protection of the steam generators through improved water chemistry has also been initiated.
Through these
- programs, FPL 'intends to ensure continued, safe, and reliable operation of the Turkey Point nuclear units.
