It was determined that corrosion damages locate mainly at the bottom of the steam generator bundled tubes. An investigation into the corrosion damages of HET was conducted in terms of PGV-1000 steam generator. The comparative analyses for eddy-current testing (ECT) for steam generator HET performed by two different ECT systems “TEDDY-8”, “MIZ-30” were juxtaposed with the metallographic examination of defects. It was determined that the percentage of rusted metal according to the metallography data in the absolute majority of analyzed defects surpassed the ECT ones. Mainly the difference is equal to 10-15% and up to 25% in some cases. It was proved that the thin-walled HET should not have significant or penetrating defects for ensuring the reliable operation of PGV-1000 HET, which is the most important task to do at a nuclear power plant (NPP).
