This course aims at providing a full scope on the water chemistry of both light water and heavy water reactors and at helping students understand its impact on the integrity of wetted structure components in these reactors. Possible degradation and corrosion mechanisms of the structural materials and the respective countermeasures will be discussed. Subjects related to the primary coolant systems of boiling water reactors (BWR), pressurized water reactors (PWRs), and heavy water reactors (i.e., CANDU reactors)) and the secondary coolant systems of PWRs and CANDU reactors are included. In addition to the radiolysis effect on coolant chemistry, appropriate water chemistry management and its optimal control to maintain structural integrity will also be covered. The ultimate goal is to strengthen the operation safety of a nuclear reactor.
