Abstract
A system for transporting reactor coolant in nuclear reactors using a liquid coolant. The system diverts a portion of the output from the main circulating pump in the nuclear reactor primary flow system and introduces this diverted coolant back into the system upstream of the main circulating pump. This diverted coolant compensates for any pressure drop which may occur due to the pumping action, thereby maintaining a constant head to the circulating pump.
