Abstract
The article discusses the effects of stray current (BT) on the corrosion of the inner and outer walls of technological pipelines of nuclear power plants (NPP), problems of BT control for overhead pipelines. A non-contact method for localizing impact sites and determining the assessment of the hazards of stray currents in the technological pipelines of NPP is presented, which will be of interest to specialists of enterprises and organizations related to the issues of near-corrosion protection of nuclear power plant structures.
