96-10: Cathodic Protection of the Palo Verde Cooling Towers Driveshafts In the course of thisThis paper discusses the concrete damage due to the corrosion of the reinforcing steel in the nine cooling towers at this nuclear power plant. Although some conventional concrete repairs were tried, they were unsuccessful. The cause of the concrete damage was the corrosion of the reinforcing steel. After a series of tests and trial cathodic protection systems, a full scale cathodic protection installation program was started. The paper documents the
