Description

Natural circulation ability of PWR coolant system under ocean condition is analyzed with the self-developed MathCAD programs based on the mathematical simulation model. It shows that parameters in reactor are vibrated with ocean condition, and their amplitude values are changed. Decrease of core mass flow flux and total power proves that natural circulation ability is greatly impacted by ocean condition of swing and has a little decrease
