Abstract

See full text

A method for retrofitting a boiling water reactor is provided. The method includes removing a mixing chamber from a slip joint defined by a diffuser and the mixing chamber, the mixing chamber having an inner surface and a bottom edge directing flow to the diffuser such that a recirculation zone at an entrance to the slip joint creates a diverging effective path for the leakage flow entering the slip joint. The method also includes providing a new inner surface and new bottom edge, the new inner surface and the new bottom edge being reshaped to decrease the size of the recirculation zone. A jet pump is also provided.
