Nuclear Reactor Coolant Pumps are used to pump primary coolant around the primary circuit.
The purpose of the Nuclear Reactor Coolant Pumps is to provide forced primary coolant flow to remove and transfer the amount of heat generated in the reactor core.There are many designs of these pumps and there are many designs of primary coolant loops. There are significant differences between pumps for different reactor types. This article is focused on RCPs for pressurized ... Read more
