[en] Farley-Tihange Phenomenon due to thermal fatigue frequently appears on the downstream area filled with cool and heat water of the residual heat removal heat-exchange equipment and the base metal and welding joint of the RIS and RRA pipes connected with the primary coolant pipe directly in global Nuclear power plants in operation. Which brings unacceptable defects, even worse, LOCA. During the pre-service inspection, autonomic ultrasonic test and radiographic test were done to relative pipes and welds of Unit 3 of the Qinshan Nuclear Power Phase Ⅱ. This article summarizes the recurrent position and potential risks of the Farley-Tihange phenomenon, establishes the fault tree of its failure causes, analyses failure mechanism and models of heat fatigue, presents systematically prevention and treatment methods including in-operation supervision, shut-down inspections, emergent maintenance program and so on.
