CONTROLLING LEAKS BETWEEN PRIMARY AND SECONDARY CIRCUITS OF A STEAM GENERATOR OF A PRESSURISED WATER REACTOR SYSTEM

摘要

A method of controlling leaks between primary and secondary circuits inside a steam generator of a pressurised water reactor system, comprising the steps of shutting off a live steam line and feedwater line connected to the secondary circuit, and injecting steam to increase the pressure in the secodnary circuit of the steam generator, the steam being produced by heating water obtained from within the steam generator in the secondary circuit.
