HEAT ABSORPTION DEVICE FOR A NUCLEAR REACTOR FOR USE AFTER SHUTDOWN OR A COOLING LOSS INCIDENT

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4096236
In a boiling-water reactor, comprising an annular tank filled with water and surrounding the principal reactor tank, a bundle of cooling tubes is arranged in the water of this annular tank and these tubes are in connection with the principal reactor tank so that after shut-down in the case of a cooling loss incident the heat produced in the reactor is transferred by this tube bundle to the water in the annular tank, the connection being a short-circuit to the normal exterior working circuit of the evaporating fluid. A second tube bundle arranged inside the said annular tank constitutes a part of an auxiliary cooling circuit withdrawing the heat from this tank. (NPO)
