Method and apparatus for load following with a single-cycle boiling moderator-coolant nuclear reactor

摘要: The invention is directed to a method and apparatus for providing single-cycle boiling moderator-coolant nuclear reactor which accommodates changes in demand with turbine generator on direct governor control. Current reactors employ generators that are slaved the reactor. This arrangement dictated because of inherent response limitations system present diverts steam from consuming normal auxiliary plant equipment maintain pressure when rapid increase power made such as during daily load following or frequency regulation change demand. allows be placed Rapid positive negative demands accepted by cause decrease an Reactor monitored regulator case throttles normally feedwater heaters reheaters redirects turbine.
