PASSIVE COOLING AND DEPRESSURIZATION SYSTEM AND PRESSURIZED WATER NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

摘要

A passive cooling and depressurization system for a pressurized water nuclear plant is provided with a cooling water pool, a steam supply piping, a heat exchanger, a steam supply valve, a coolant return pipe and an outlet valve. The steam supply piping extends from the gas phase of the pressurizer. The heat exchanger exchanges heat between water stored in the cooling water pool and steam flowing through the steam supply piping. The steam supply valve is equipped on the steam supply piping. The coolant return pipe extends from the heat exchanger to a liquid phase of the reactor pressure boundary. The outlet valve is equipped on the coolant return pipe.
