A practical tool to assess leakage from divider plates in steam generators. Expert Solutions: Cross flow leakage through divider plates in the primary head of steam generators can be a contributor to Reactor Inlet header Temperature rise, which may have a negative effect on plant operations. A non-intrusive method to inspect divider plates for leakage can be useful in making timely and effective maintenance decisions. Kinectrics has developed and successfully demonstrated in field applications, a practical acoustic tool for performing inspections in drained steam generators during shutdowns. This advanced technique, known as ALIS (Acoustic Leak Inspection System), performs a scan of the divider plate face and presents a graphic image of the leak paths and, an estimate of the total leak area.
