Abstract

See full text

A technology for accurately measuring with the use of an ultrasonic flowmeter the flow rate through a nuclear reactor water supply piping interposed between a nuclear reactor and a nuclear reactor water supply pump. In a reactor coolant cleaning system (30), piping to be joined with a reactor water supply system (10) is branched, thereby forming an auxiliary path (A) to be similarly joined with the reactor water supply system (10). The auxiliary path (A) is provided with a restriction part (C) having an inside diameter narrower than that of other parts of the auxiliary path (A) to complete a nuclear reactor water supply piping structure. Through this structure, cavitation bubbles are generated from the restriction part (C). An ultrasonic transducer (40) is disposed between the nuclear reactor (1) and the auxiliary path (A) in the piping for composing the reactor water supply system (10), thereby conducting measurement of the flow rate of fluid within the piping.
