Patent
·
OSTI ID:5226099
A system is provided for the relief of excess pressure from the hot leg of a nuclear reactor to the cold leg on the occurrence of a loss of coolant accident. This system includes a conduit connecting the hot leg with the cold leg. The conduit further includes a check valve which is operated on the basis of differential pressure so that during normal operation the valve is closed.
