ABSTRACT:
A pH adjusting system includes a water pit for refueling35that is disposed in a reactor container10, which stores a reactor, and is capable of storing cooling water and a pH adjusting apparatus37that is disposed above the water pit for refueling35and houses a pH adjuster. The pH adjusting apparatus37causes a pH-adjusted solution generated by dissolving or mixing the pH adjuster to flow out to the water pit for refueling35below the pH adjusting apparatus37. Consequently, even when it is difficult to dispose the pH adjusting apparatus on a floor of the water pit for refueling, it is possible to suitably perform pH adjustment in the reactor container10.
