ABSTRACT:
A method and a device for minimizing electrostatically enhanced deposition of charged particulates in the jet pump nozzles of operating BWR plants. The jet pump nozzle has an inner conducting surface which is electrically isolated from the main body of the nozzle. An electrical circuit is electrically coupled to the inner conducting surface of the nozzle. The electrical circuit is designed to electrically minimize charged-particle deposition at the nozzle surface exposed to a free-stream electrical potential, using a DC circuit with active element feedback to adjust the surface potential to minimize the net current to the inner conducting surface, thereby minimizing deposition.
