Oxide deposits on end-fitting liner tubes and steam generator tubes from the Bruce “A Nuclear Generating Station (NGS) were characterized in advance of the decontamination of the heat transport system (HTS) of Bruce Unit 2, Oxide loadings, and CO-60 surface activities and specific activities were determined for the oxides on inlet and outlet end-fitting liner tubes from Bruce Unit l, Bruce Unit 2 and Bruce Unit 4. Oxides on the inner surfaces of steam generator tubes from Bruce NGS Units l and 2, were also characterized, The consistency in the deposit characteristics on the inlet liner tubes and steam generator tubes from Bruce “A”, along with the absence of magnetite on the outlet liner tubes has led to the development of a m a model for iron transport in the HTS of pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs), The activity transport/antifouling mechanism involves flow-accelerated corrosion of the outlet feeder pipes, followed by deposition of iron in the steam generators, along the inlet feeder pipes, on the inlet end fittings, on the inlet fuel bundles and on the inlet region of the pressure tube, The results of loop experiments using decontamination solutions indicated that the oxide was rapidly removed from inlet liner tubes. However, removal of the Cr-rich oxide from the outlet liner tubes was less efficient, requiring the Alkaline Permangante(AP) oxidizing pre-treatment that is typically used in light water reactors (LWRs). The steam generator tubes were effectively decontaminated. Keywords: pressurized heavy water reactor, oxide loading, end-fitting liner tubes, steam generators, fouling, chemical decontamination, full-system decontamination, radionuclide inventories
