Abstract

Measurement values of conductivity of pH of water in the primary cooling water system of a boiling water atomic power plant are input through on-line and the measurement values of conductivity and pH at times of measurement when water quality changes are compared with values at the time of normal operation. Tendencies to increase or decrease the conductivity and pH are combined to prepare one diagnosis data, and causes of anomaly in progress in component apparatus members are discriminated and diagnosed by the diagnosis data. By using a correlation between logarithm of conductivity and pH in preparing the diagnosis data from combinations of conductivity and pH, causes of anomaly can be diagnosed more accurated.
