Abstract: It is of great significance to determine reasonable leakage value from primary side to secondary side of steam generator, in order to ensure safe and stable operation and to formulate the operation strategy of nuclear power plant. The leakage value is divided into three categories: the leakage value for radiation protection design, the leakage control value for nuclear power plant operation control, and the leakage protection threshold value for ensuring the integrity of steam generator heat transfer tube. The basis of various values are discussed. A comprehensive investigation and analysis on the leakage value of primary side to secondary side of steam generator in nuclear power plants from both at home and abroad has been completed. Combined with the research situation, suggestions on the value and leakage control of primary side to secondary side of steam generator in nuclear power plants in China are given.

Key words: nuclear power plant, steam generator, leakage rate
