  • Startup/shutdown hydrogen injection system for boiling water reactors (BWRS), and method thereof
    Patent number: 10229761
    Abstract: A system and a method for injecting hydrogen into Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) reactor support systems in operation during reactor startup and/or shutdown to mitigate Inter-Granular Stress Corrosion Cracking (IGSCC). The system may provide hydrogen at variable pressures (including relatively higher pressures) that match changing operating pressures of the reactor supports systems as the reactor cycles through startup and shutdown modes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 21, 2012
    Date of Patent: March 12, 2019
    Assignee: GE-HITACHI NUCLEAR ENERGY AMERICAS LLC
    Inventors: John Whittaker, Angelo Gonzaga, Paul Shu, Luong Tran
