A supplementary injection device (110) is installed in a nuclear power plant (100) to draw coolant and inject coolant using an entraining fluid. The injection device (110) can be a venturi or other passive device operable at relatively low fluid pressure that draws coolant through suction at the venturi narrowing point and mixes the coolant with the fluid for injection. The injection device (110) is operable with a known BWR design, where the device is attached to a steam connection (55) to the main steam line (50) of the reactor, a coolant connection drawing from suction lines (35) to a suppression cool or condensate tank, and an outlet connection injecting into the main feedwater lines (60). In a BWR, the injection device (110) is operable without electricity and at a wide range of pressures, even less than (50) pounds per square inch, to maintain coolant levels in the reactor (15). |
