ABSTRACT:
In the present invention, a reactor power control apparatus of a natural circulation reactor comprises a reactor pressure vessel which circulates cooling water using the density difference of the coolant inside, a feed water pipe which is connected to the reactor pressure vessel and supplies cooling water, a power control section which controls the reactor power using a control rod. The feed water pipe has an ultrasonic thermometer sensor. Driving of the control rod is controlled by the power control section based on the feed water temperature detected by the feed water thermometer. The reactor power control apparatus can detect the temperature of the feed water and perform drive control of the control rod preferentially, and obtain stable reactor power.
