A nuclear reactor assembly including a nuclear reactor, an emergency cooling system for the nuclear reactor, and an emergency cooling method of the nuclear reactor

摘要

A power module assembly includes a reactor vessel containing a reactor core surrounded by a primary coolant. A containment vessel is adapted to be submerged in a containment cooling pool and to prohibit a release of the primary coolant outside of the containment vessel. A secondary cooling system is configured to remove heat generated by the reactor core. The heat is removed by circulating liquid from the containment cooling pool through the primary coolant.
