ABSTRACT:
An automated method for maintaining pressure within a nuclear power plant primary loop during either startup or shutdown, the method comprises the steps of partially filling a portion of a pressurizer vessel, in fluid communication with the primary loop, with a liquid for maintaining pressure in the primary loop; circulating a primary coolant through the primary loop; automatically injecting an inert gas by a first automated device, operatively connected to the pressurizer, into the pressurizer vessel when the pressure in the pressurizer vessel is less than a first predetermined pressure; and automatically venting the gas by a second automated device, operatively connected to the pressurizer, from the pressurizer vessel when the pressure in the pressurizer vessel is greater than a second predetermined pressure.
