Abstract: In reactor water control for a BWR power plant during an operation cycle after loading new fuel rods in the BWR power plant, an operation is performed which accelerates deposition of crud on the fuel rods until the deposition amount of the crud on the fuel rods reaches a predetermined target value within the operation cycle concerned. After the deposition amount of the crud has reached the predetermined target value, the crud deposition accelerating operation is terminated, whereby even when loading new fuel rods such as Zr liner type fuel rods having a surface on which metal ion deposition has been difficult, radioactivity in the reactor water is efficiently reduced.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method and a nuclear plant capable of preventing deposition and activation of crud to a nuclear fuel rod and decreasing the radioactivity level in reactor water. Metal ions solely having a low deposition rate coefficient are made to coexist to prevent or decrease deposition of radioactive corrosion products to the nuclear fuel rod. A method and a nuclear plant capable of preventing deposition and activation of crud to the nuclear fuel rod and decreasing the radioactivity level in reactor water can be provided.
