OSTI ID:4842237

The primary cooling system of a nuclear power plant is described. It comprises in series the components that constitute a closed circuit of the reactor coolant. It is enclosed by a pressure container that has a narrow protection space between its inner wall and the outside of the said components, over their whole length. This protection space may be divided by tight walls into several compartments. Inside each compartment a control fluid circulates in which any escape of the reactor coolant may be detected. (NPO)
