Using high-performance steam injector (SI) system technology, which outperforms conventional SIs in application of a wider operating range and enables multistage parallel operation, we have carried out a study on a simplified nuclear power plant design to apply high-performance SIs in core coolant injection systems and feedwater heating systems. The most use of substantially simplified SIs and application of this technology for nuclear power plants could incorporate innovative ideas to make plants free from severe accidents, and reduce material, and develop a severe-accident-free design to enhance the reliability and international cose competitiveness of Japanese nuclear power plants. The present research project has been carried out by Tokyo Electric Power Company, Toshiba Corporation, and six Universities in Japan, funded from the Institute of Applied Energy (IAE) of Japan as the national public research-funded program.
