Abstract

In moisture separator reheaters of a nuclear power plant, a control valve is mounted in a steam vent line of the plant to control the flow rate of vent steam in conformity with the load applied to the plant, to thereby avoid the occurrence of any instable flow phenomenon in the entire range of loads applied to the plant.
