Recent corrosion experience in US light water reactor nuclear power plants is reviewed with emphasis on mitigation strategies to control the cost of corrosion to LWR operators. Many components have suffered corrosion problems resulting in industry costs of billions of dollars. The most costly issues have been stress corrosion cracking of stainless steel coolant piping in boiling water reactors and corrosion damage to steam generator tubes in pressurized water reactors. Through industry wide R&D programs these problems are now understood and mitigation strategies have been developed to address the issues in a cost effective manner. Other significant corrosion problems for both reactor types are briefly reviewed. Tremendous progress has been made in controlling corrosion, however, minimizing its impact on plant operations will present a continuing challenge throughout the remaining service lives of these power plants. Kevwords: Nuclear power plants; boiling water reactors; pressurized water reactors; corrosion; wastage; erosion-corrosion; crevice corrosion; pitting; stress corrosion cracking; piping; steam generators; fuel cladding; reactor vessel and internals; condenser; turbine; stainless steels; nickel-base alloys; zirconium-base alloys; carbon steels; low-alloy steels.
