: Pressurized water reactors (PWR) have been affected by corrosion induced degradation to a greater or lesser extent and this is the subject of this chapter. Generalized corrosion is reviewed with particular emphasis on the safety issues associated with activation of corrosion products. Flow accelerated corrosion of carbon steels in secondary water circuits has also given rise to operational and safety problems. It has also contributed to fouling and clogging of steam generator tube bundles. Boric acid wastage corrosion of carbon and low alloy steels is also described. Nickel base alloys have proven to be generically susceptible to stress corrosion cracking in PWR systems. Stainless steels have a remarkably good record of resistance to corrosion but there are, nevertheless, some degradations.
