Abstract To further enhance the safety and reliability of pressurized water reactor(PWR) nuclear powerplants during commissioning and operational phases, it is imperative to comprehensively account for material aging in critical structural components across operational cycles while implementing necessary mitigation measures. This paper systematically investigates the compatibility between zinc-injection water chemistry(ZWC) implementation and steam generator tubes through a multi-parametric analysis, focusing on the interaction mechanisms of zinc injection with passivation/oxidation behaviors, corrosion product release-transport-deposition dynamics, and stress corrosion cracking(SCC) susceptibility. Key factors are examined through four critical dimensions:zinc injection dosage optimization, timing sequence determination, passivation/oxide film characterization, and corrosion control methodologies. Furthermore, the study proposes forward-looking improvements for zinc injection strategies, including predictive modeling integrating electrochemical kinetics, computational fluid dynamics simulations of particulate transport, and machine learning-enhanced dose-response relationships. These proposed advancements aim to establish a scientific foundation for next-generation adaptive water chemistry management systems in advanced PWR designs.

Key words： pressurized water reactor zinc-injection water chemistry heat surface tube passivation/oxidation corrosion product
