This performs a first operation to decrease the nuclear reactor power to a first fixed value. A second operation lowers the nuclear reactor power to a second fixed value that is lower than the first fixed value and that prevents run-out of other first pumps in operation. The first fixed value is lower than the reactor power at the moment when the first pump is tripped. The steam flow is decreased substantially simultaneously with the decrease of the feed water flow. Thereby, the decrease of the steam flow is carried out in an early stage when the feed water pump is tripped and the possibility of nuclear reactor scram is reduced.Other References
