ABSTRACT:
A sludge collection system for a vertically oriented nuclear steam generator is provided with an upwardly open chamber for receiving separated liquid and incoming feedwater that contain sludge particulates. A plurality of sludge collecting containers are positioned within the chamber and include a top rim encompassing an opening leading into the interior of each container. Generally flat perforated covers are positioned over each container such that a gap is formed between the cover and the adjacent top rim. Particulate material in the water entering the container can settle within the container because of relatively stagnant conditions. Sludge agitation and removal means are provided for remotely cleaning the containers. The sludge collection system components are sized to permit retrofitting this system into existing steam generators.
