Feasibility study of a controllable mechanical seal for reactor coolant pumps

In a nuclear power plant, one of the most important systems for both safety and performance is the reactor cooling system. The cooling system is generally driven by one or more very large centrifugal pumps. Most reactor coolant pumps utilize a multi-stage mechanical face seal system for fluid contai...
