Abstract

See full text

In a boiling water-type, nuclear power plant, deposition of radioactive substances on the surfaces of out-of-core components in the primary cooling water system in the nuclear power plant is suppressed by injecting an alkaline element into reactor water in the presence of more than an amount of the oxygen formed by nuclear fission of the reactor water and dissolved in the reactor water, particularly without hydrogen gas injection, during the nuclear heatup operation period of a boiling water type, nuclear power plant and circulating the injected alkaline element through the primary cooling water system of a nuclear reactor, thereby forming an oxide film on the surfaces of out-of-core components in the primary cooling water system of the nuclear reactor. Exposure of plant personnel to radioactivity can be reduced thereby. The present boiling water-type, nuclear power plant is provided with a means for forming such oxide film.
