Problems solved by technology

[0005] The reactor coolant water quality scheme based on the boron-controlled core proposed above is not suitable for pressurized water reactor nuclear power plants with rod-controlled cores. If the ammonia-type water quality scheme is adopted, a special coolant degassing system needs to be configured. As a result, the related process configuration and operation are relatively complicated, and the water quality scheme is mainly applicable to the problem of pressurized water reactor nuclear power plants adopting nitrogen pressure stabilization. The present invention provides a method for controlling the water quality of reactor coolant suitable for rod-controlled cores. This method can not only effectively reduce the corrosion of the structural materials of the primary circuit of the nuclear power plant, but also improve the adverse effect of the local concentration of the alkalizing agent on the corrosion of the zirconium alloy, reduce the deposition and activation of corrosion products on the surface of the fuel cladding, and improve the safety and reliability of the fuel assembly operation. ; At the same time, it can reduce the negative impact on overall indicators such as lifespan, economy, and safety
