NUCLEAR POWER PLANT USING NANOPARTICLES IN EMERGENCY SYSTEMS AND RELATED METHOD

摘要

A nuclear power plant with an improved cooling system using nanoparticles in solid or fluid form is provided. The nanoparticles are delivered in locations such as the cold leg accumulator and high and low pressure pumps of an emergency core cooling system. Motor driven valves and pressurization can aid in the delivery. Methods for providing the nanoparticles are also provided.
