Abstract
A BWR coolant recirculation system includes a pump deck disposed in a downcomer and fixedly joined to a reactor pressure vessel and reactor core shroud. A plurality of circumferentially spaced reactor internal pumps (RIPs) are joined to the deck and operable in a pumping mode for pumping downwardly a reactor coolant from the downcomer and into a core inlet. In a pump inoperable mode, a portion of the coolant bypasses the RIPs for allowing increased natural recirculation of the coolant from the downcomer and into the core inlet.
