Abstract: Studies have been made to compare and discuss the analytical solutions solved by the method of characteristics with the experimental results on the waterhammer. The measurements have been carried out using the 1/6 scale model of the primary coolant system of the experimental fast breeder reactor "JOYO" belonging to the Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation. The waterhammer has been taken place at the valve throat area ratio ranging from 1/4 to 4/4 by varying in circulating pump revolving speed in the angular acceleration ranges 20 to 180 rad/s2 and -20 to -180 rad/s2. Good agreement was found between the analytical results and experimental. Therefore the calculation models and idea used in this paper have sufficient practical value.
