Abstract

The results of calculations of the probability of a leak appearing in the tube band of steam generator in a VVÉR-440 reactor system during operation are presented. The MAVR-1.1 computer code is used to calculate the probability of the formation of a leak and rupture of one of the heat exchanger tubes. The binomial distribution is used to determine the probability of the number of tubes that do not satisfy the plugging criterion. A leak in a tube bank is calculated as a sum of leaks in individual tubes. The probability of such a leak is calculated as a random sum.
