ABSTRACT:
In a nuclear power plant making use of a high temperature gas cooled reactor, it is necessary, prior to commencing power generation and connection of a generator to an electrical distribution grid, to condition the power generation circuit of the plant. This involves creating stable conditions within the power generation circuit. To this end, the plant includes a start-up blower system for circulating working fluid, typically helium, around the power generation circuit until the desired conditions are satisfied. The start-up blower system typically includes a normally open in-line valve, at least one blower connected in parallel with the in-line valve and a normally closed isolation valve connected in series with the blower. Conditioning the power generation circuit will typically include stabilizing the pressure in the circuit at between 10 bar and 50 bar.
