ABSTRACT:
A pressure control system for a pressurized water nuclear reactor and method for quickly closing the valves associated with the pressurizer thereof has a temperature detection device on the loop seal of each valve and a valve responsive thereto to change water to the loop seal upon a temperature rise therein and stop the flow of water to the loop seal upon a temperature drop therein. The rapid formation of water seals in the loop seals for the valves protects the valve seats from wear and degradation and prolongs the life thereof.
