ABSTRACT:
A recirculation system for a boiling water reactor includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced impeller-driven reactor internal pumps disposed in a downcomer for pumping a first portion of reactor coolant, and a plurality of circumferentially spaced fluid-driven jet pumps disposed in the downcomer for pumping a remaining portion of the coolant in the downcomer. In an exemplary embodiment, the jet pumps are driven by a portion of feedwater provided to the reactor.
