Stability of Natural-Circulation-Cooled Boiling Water Reactors During Startup: Experimental Results

Journal Article Manera, Annalisa ; Hagen, Tim H.J.J. van der - Nuclear Technology

The characteristics of flashing-induced instabilities, which are of importance during the startup phase of natural-circulation boiling water reactors, are studied. Experiments at typical startup conditions (low power and low pressure) are carried out on a steam/water natural-circulation loop. The flashing and the mechanism of flashing-induced instability are analyzed. The effect of system pressure and steam volume in the steam dome is investigated as well.The instability region is found as soon as the operational boundary between single-phase and two-phase operation is crossed. Increasing pressure has a stabilizing effect, reducing the operational region in which instabilities occur. Nonequilibrium between phases and enthalpymore »« less

The startup of the Dodewaard natural circulation boiling water reactor -- Experiences

Journal Article Nissen, W H.M. ; Van Der Voet, J ; Karuza, J - Nuclear Technology; (United States)

Because of its similarity to the simplified boiling water reactor (SBWR), the Dodewaard natural circulation boiling water reactor (BWR) is of special interest to further development of the SBWR design. It has become especially important to gain more insight into the Dodewaard BWR behavior during startup, paying special attention to its stability. Therefore, special instrumentation was used by means of which a series of measurements were taken during the two startups in February and June 1992. The results obtained from these measurements are used to deepen insight into the recirculation flow and the stability of the reactor during startup undermore »« less
