An analytical study has been conducted on steam injector systems (SISs) for next-generation nuclear reactors. The steam injector is a simple, compact passive steam jet pump. It is easy to start up without electric power. A characteristic analysis model for a steam injector has been developed based on experimental data. To evaluate steam injector characteristics, parametric analyses were carried out. The analytical results indicated good performance of the SIS, that it functions over a very wide steam pressure range, and that it is suitable for next-generation nuclear reactors.
