DESCRIPTION Historical Background Combustible gases such as H 2 , propane, and acetylene are used during normal operations of nuclear power plants in limited quantities and for relatively short periods of time. H 2 , the most prevalent of these gases in …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background BWRs are equipped with SRVs to control primary system pressurization. Upon SRV actuation and following the clearing of air from the discharge lines, essentially pure steam is injected into the pool. Experiments indicate …
