What Does AFS Stand For?
AFS stands for Auxiliary Feedwater System
The Auxiliary Feedwater System (AFS) is a critical safety component in nuclear power plants, designed to provide feedwater to the steam generators in the event of a loss of normal feedwater supply. The AFS ensures the removal of residual heat and maintains the cooling of the reactor core during emergency conditions. It typically consists of a series of pumps, valves, and piping systems that are activated automatically or manually to maintain safe operational parameters and prevent overheating of reactor components.
