The present invention relates to a passive heat removal system which circulates cooling fluid to a steam generator via a main water supply line connected to the lower inlet of the steam generator, and a main steam pipe connected to the top outlet of the steam generator, to remove sensible heat of a nuclear reactor coolant system and residual heat of a core. The heat removal system comprises supplementary equipment for receiving surplus cooling fluid or for supplying supplementary cooling fluid in order to maintain the flow rate of the cooling fluid within a predetermined range. The supplementary equipment comprises: a supplementary tank, installed at a height between the lower inlet and the top outlet of the steam generator; a first connection pipe, connected to the main steam pipe and the supplementary tank; and a second connection pipe, connected to the supplementary tank and the main water supply pipe.
