Natural circulation of integrated type marine reactor at inclined attitude

  • 1. Ship Research Institute, 6-38-1, Shinkawa, Mitaka, Tokyo 181

Description

A steady-state single-phase natural circulation test was performed to clarify the effect of inclination by using a model of an integrated type marine reactor. It was found that several types of flow pattern occur in the natural circulation loop corresponding to the range of inclination angle. Stable flow rates are sustained up to near 90 deg. because of the occurrence of driving force arising from those sections of the facility which were horizontal before the inclination. Parameters such as power and steam generator operating conditions were found not to significantly affect the flow pattern
