Water chemistry plays an important role in enabling the smooth operation of the plant by controlling the corrosion and radiation field build-up. For example, in the eighties, BWRs and PWRs could reduce radiation field build-up by employing zinc ion passivation technique. Similarly, the inter-granular corrosion problem that arose due to the radiolytically produced oxygen could be largely solved by the hydrogen water chemistry and later by the hydrogen water chemistry and noble metal chemical addition.

The chemistry regimes of steam generators of PWRs and PHWRs are modified by introducing newer amines and the impurity levels in the secondary coolant are lowered by introducing better analytical techniques. These measures have largely improved the problem of scaling and corrosion and there has been significant improvement in the performance of the steam generators. Similarly, continuous improvements are being made in the process and condenser cooling water systems.

Symposium on water chemistry and corrosion in nuclear power plants in Asia is one such forum where the knowledge gained through the operating experiences of the nuclear power plants is shared and the new developments in this field are brought out.
