JET PUMP [5 records]

Record 1 2017-04-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
  • Pumps
DEF

A pump in which an accelerating jet entrains a second fluid to deliver it at elevated pressure.

CONT

Unique to the BWR is the application of jet pumps inside the reactor vessel. The jet pumps deliver their driving force from the external recirculation pumps and generate about two-thirds of the recirculation flow within the reactor vessel. The jet pumps also contribute to the inherent safety of the BWR design under loss-of-coolant emergency conditions because they continue to provide internal circulation with one or both external recirculation loops out of service.
