Description

This invention relates to a main steam piping of boiling water nuclear power plant which suppresses pressure pulsation.

  In a boiling water nuclear power plant, if the heat output is increased and the steam flow rate is increased, pressure pulsation may occur in the main steam pipe or the main steam system including the main steam pipe and the reactor internal structure. . In this case, the pressure pulsation may damage a furnace internal structure such as a steam dryer. In general, as means for suppressing pressure fluctuation, there are known a method of releasing pressure or a method of installing a Helmholtz resonator to absorb and suppress pulsation.

Such pressure fluctuation suppression means includes, for example, means for discharging steam to the water pool when the pressure rises above a certain pressure, and a buffer hole in the discharge pipe into the water in order to suppress water surface vibration during discharge. For example, in other examples, a Helmholtz resonator is installed adjacent to a pulsation source pressure vessel (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
