Radionuclide deposited on the surface of several internal and external systems in a nuclear power plant is created by the activation of corrosion products from nuclear reactor structural materials and fission products. Especially, the constant contact between water and the surface corrodes the inside where primary system makes coolants and corrosion products mixed. Also, these are circulated along the systems. For comparing models, CRUDTRAN, DISER, MIGA-RT and CPAIR codes are analyzed to predict the quantity of radionuclide and corrosion product of primary reactor that are used at the stage of designing. The corrosion products behavior of domestic PWR primary system was predicted by using CRUDTRAN. This study aims to increase the reliability of corrosion product evaluation model by comparing the actual values and calculated values with the data of a Westing House-type Nuclear Power Plant.
