  • WATER LEVEL DETERMINING METHOD FOR BOILING WATER REACTOR
    Publication number: 20130266108
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a water level determining method for a boiling water reactor. Thereby, for a boiling water reactor under anticipated transient without scram, risk of sudden power increase due to the uncertain water level raised to a main steam tube can be reduced by installing a thermometer on the top of the reactor or the main steam tube. By controlling flow rate of water and keeping the steam temperature higher than the saturated temperature, the core of the reactor can be sure to cool down properly.
