ABSTRACT:
A nuclear reactor is supplied with feed water through a feed water pump system. A primary steam flow produced from the reactor is controlled by regulating a recirculated flow of feed water. The feed water pump system comprises two main pumps each of 55%-capacity and two auxiliary pumps each of 27.5%-capacity. Normally, the two main pumps are operated. Upon occurrence of abnormal condition of at least one main pump, the auxiliary pumps are started to supply feed water. At that time, the recirculated flow is controlled for a predetermined time to a reduced rate which is smaller as compared with that of the primary steam flow decreased rapidly due to the shutdown of the main pump. Subsequently, the recirculated flow is so controlled that the primary steam flow rate is slightly smaller as compared with the feed water flow which is determined by the available capacity of the pumps.
