During a reactor normal operation, a primary coolant was designed to remove the fission reaction heat of the reactor. When one pump is failure and the other pump shall supply the cooling water to cool the reduced power, it is necessary to estimate how much flow will be supplied to cool the reactor. We carried a flow net work analysis for two parallel pumping system as based on the piping net work of the primary cooling system in HANARO. As result, it is estimated that the flow of one pump increased than the rated flow of the pump below the cavitation critical flow.

During a reactor normal operation, two parallel 50% capacity cooling pumps circulate primary coolant to remove the fission reaction heat of the reactor through heat exchangers cold by a cooling tower. When one pump is failure, the other pump shall continuously circulate the coolant to remove the residual heat generated by the fuels loaded in the reactor after reactor shutdown. It is necessary to estimate how much flow rate will be supplied to remove the residual heat. We carried out a flow network analysis for the parallel primary pumps based on the piping network of the primary cooling system in HANARO. As result, it is estimated that the flow rate of one pump increased about 1.33 times the rated flow of one pump and was maintained within the limit of the cavitation critical flow.
