Abstract

In operation of a boiling water-type, atomic power plant, rated operation is conducted while adjusting the pH of core water in the nuclear reactor to 7.0 to 8.5 by adding an alkali thereto, thereby controlling dissolution of radioactive corrosion products attached to fuel rods into the core water. An increase in the radioactive corrosion products in the core water and in the dose rate can be prevented.
