Has anyone replaced BWR condenser tubes?

[david.nestle@EXELONCORP.COM]

Dresden Station is currently planning a power uprate project, which will

include modifications to our condensers.  The current plan is to place

stakes in between the condenser tubes to provide additional bracing.  



As an alternative, an engineer at the station is looking at the possibility

of a full-scale replacement of the condenser tubes (that's 60,000 tubes per

condenser).  He has asked that I pose a question to the listserve in the

hopes that someone out there may have experience with a similar evolution

with a BWR.



Any comments/suggestions should be forwarded to Pete Scardigno at (815)

942-2920, ext. 2450 OR via email at peter.scardigno@exeloncorp.com.



Thanks.
