Control method for BWR type power plant

The present invention provides a method of controlling a BWR type plant having internal pumps capable of sufficiently utilizing the performance of a whole volume turbine bypass plant to enable stable supply of electric power upon load interruption of power generator thereof. Namely, upon occurrence of load interruption of a power generator or turbine trip, a plurality of internal pumps are tripped simultaneously to abruptly reduce a reactor core flow rate by a predetermined value or more. In this case, a reactor core flow rate abruptly reduction scram signal is prevented. Alternatively, a plurality of internal pumps are tripped simultaneously to abruptly reduce the reactor core flow rate. In this case, a reactor core flow rate abrupt reduction scram set value is changed in order to inhibit the reactor core flow rate abrupt reduction scram signal. With such procedures, upon load interruption of power generator or upon trip of turbine, reactor core flow rate is abruptly reduced by trip of internal pumps for avoiding increase of neutron fluxes due to reactor pressure change. However, since reactor scram is avoided, the operation can be continued upon load interruption of power generator. As a result, performance of whole volume turbine bypass plant can be utilized sufficiently even upon occurrence of load interruption of power generator. (I.S.)
