Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-57693-9, published online 23 March 2024

The original Article contained an error. In the section Theoretical Model, under the subheading ‘Unsteady Bernoulli equation for pump’, the sentence:

“Gao et al. established a mathematical model of the time-dependent hydraulic performance of a nuclear-reactor coolant pump during stopping period14.”

Now reads:

“Gao et al. established a mathematical model of the time-dependent hydraulic performance of a nuclear-reactor coolant pump during start-up period14.”

The original Article has been corrected.
