TL;DRAbstract

This report contains two literature reviews (prepared by Brookhaven National Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory, respectively) on the available data and current mechanistic understanding of erosion-corrosion, and a failure analysis (prepared by Brookhaven National Laboratory) of a tee-elbow joint from the Surry Unit 2 reactor that failed by erosion-corrosion in December 1986. It also includes suggestions for additional research that should be performed by the USNRC to increase the capability to rank plants and/or locations within plants in terms of susceptibility to erosion-corrosion and to ensure that proposed inspection and mitigation programs are soundly based.
