Principles for engineering active-passive hydrodynamic control-and-safety systems for nuclear reactors

The principles for developing active-passive hydrodynamic systems for nuclear reactors are presented. The determination of the parameters of hydrodynamic control systems is examined: static characteristic, nonstationary motion (acceleration), and signaling of the state of a working organ. Recommendations are made concerning the calculation of the hydrodynamic control systems. Their use in the process of investigation, design, adjustment, and operation makes it is possible to determine the parameters and characteristics quickly by using simple means on the object. Familiarization with the particularities of the development of hydraulic control systems will aid in wider adoption of such systems in building nuclear reactors.
