  1. Nuclear Journal of Canada, 1987 Vol 1 No. 2, by R.L. Tapping, P.A. Lavoie, and D.J. Disney, CNS, 1987-06-01. Doc type: Paper.
    Summary: Severe pitting has occurred in moderator heat exchangers tubed with Incoloy-800 in Pickering Nuclear Generating Station. The pitting originated on the cooling water side (outside) of the tubes and perforation occurred in less than two years. It was known from corrosion testing at CRNL that Incoloy-800 was not susceptible to pitting in Lake Ontario water under isothermal conditions. Corrosion testing with heat transfer across the tube wall was carried out, and it was noted that severe pitting could occur under deposits formed on the tubes in silty Lake Ontario water. Subsequent testing, carried out in co-operation with Ontario Hydro Research Division, investigated the pitting resistance of other candidate tubing alloys: Incoloy-825, 904 L stainless steel, AL-6X, Inconel-625, 70:30 Cu:Ni, titanium, Sanicro-30 and Sanicro-28. Of these, only titanium and Saniero-28 have not suffered some degree of pitting attack in silt-containing Lake Ontario water. In the absence of silt. and hence deposits, no pitting took place on any of the alloys tested.

    Summary: The outstanding performance of CANDU fuel is attributed to a well-rounded development program that combined sound science with excellent engineering. Economic analysis and technology transfer were integrated into the program to ensure successful commercialization. The CANDU fuel program provides useful lessons that are being Ignored by policymakers in their desire to exploit our world-elass resources in science and technology to benefit the Canadian economy.
