OSTI ID:4794180
Results are presented from a study of centrifugal separation of water and steam in boiling water reactors. It is noted that the poor results obtained show that small-scale whirls are not adequate for separation. It is recommended that a design in which a natural primary separation takes place through the free surface on top of the reactor tank be used. The water which still contains steam should be introduced into separators mounted on the core periphery and low-steam- content water should be introduced into the separators tangentially and in the upper half. Separated water is then exhausted at the base of the separators. (J.R.D.)
