When I was in the nuclear navy we worried a lot about corrosion and erosion of all our pipe systems. The nuclear systems were usually pretty over designed but several times we would still get pin holes in the pipe of the steam generators and have to plug the tubes. Did that once to the 1B reactor on the Big "E" when we were off the coast of Vietnam and spent a week for the whole shutdown, depressurize, drain a loop, find the leaker, plug it and weld then recover all while dropping bombs and such. We found that erosion due to high flows usually caused more issues than corrosion?
