METHOD FOR CLEANING A STEAM GENERATING DEVICE OF A COMPRESSED WATER REACTOR

摘要

A method for cleaning steam generating devices of a pressurized water reactor treats the devices on their secondary sides at high pressure and high temperature. An aqueous cleaning solution is employed with EDTA, a reducing agent, and an alkalizing agent. Morpholine is used as the alkalization agent. A molar morpholine-concentration, which is at least as great as the molar concentration of EDTA, is selected. Hydrazine and/or formaldehyde are/is used as the reducing agent at a ratio to EDTA between 1:6 and 1:1.
