  • Patent number: 5469480
    Abstract: The currently used atomic reactors has to be refueled periodically. During this refueling, the checking and repair of the major sections of the atomic reactor are carried out, and therefore, a low water level operation, i.e., mid-loop operation, is carried out for removing the residual heat. According to the present invention, a round-about pipe conduit is additionally installed between a suction pipe conduit and a discharge pipe conduit of the residual heating removing pump, and a flow rate adjusting valve is installed on the round-about pipe conduit. Thus the flow passing through the pump is maintained at the normal operation level during the mid-loop operation, while, as the residual heat is decreased, the round-about flow rate is gradually increased until the suction rate from the hot leg can be maintained at a proper level, thereby preventing the introduction of air into the residual heat removing pump.
