Researchers devise new technique to monitor reactor coolant pumps
Nuclear power plants that provide needed electricity rely on reactor coolant pumps for safe, continuous and reliable operations. But if the pump malfunctions, it can take plants offline, requiring costly repairs and interrupting services, or, worse, cause environmental and safety problems. Now, a Mizzou industrial and systems engineering team has devised a new technique to allow plants to monitor the reactor coolant pumps more closely, allowing plant operators to flag abnormalities before they become problems. “This research is directly related to the safety of nuclear plants,” Assistant Professor Kangwon Seo said. “If a plant has safety issues, it…
