Water injection system for turbine driven BWR type reactor

The present invention provides a water injection system of a turbine driven nuclear reactor for maintaining the function thereof even upon occurrence of a severe accident in a BWR type nuclear reactor. That is, the system comprises a differential pressure detection means for measuring a pressure difference between the downstream of a the turbine and a reactor container and an interrupting means for stopping the supply of steams to the turbine when the differential pressure exceeds a predetermined value. With such a constitution, when the pressure in the turbine driven water injection system is locally increased, the differential pressure detection means detects the differential pressure, to interrupt the supply of the steams to the turbine. Further, upon occurrence of a severe accident that a pressure in the reactor container is abnormally elevated, differential pressure is not caused between the downstream of the turbine and the reactor container. Accordingly, a protection function is not operated by the differential pressure detection means. Accordingly, injection of coolants to the reactor can be continued even upon loss of AC power source.
