Abstract:
A system for injecting hydrogen into Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) reactor support systems in operation during reactor startup and/or shutdown. The system the hydrogen injection system includes at least one hydrogen source, flow control equipment, and pressure control equipment. The pressure control equipment being configured to regulate a pressure of a hydrogen flow between the at least one hydrogen source and the at least one first BWR support system based upon an operating pressure of the at least one first BWR support system.
