Provided is a reactor secondary side passive residual heat removal system, comprising: a containment vessel; a steam generator provided with a steam outlet and a water supply inlet; a water tank, the water tank being internally provided with a heat exchanger, the heat exchanger having a heat exchanger inlet and a heat exchanger outlet; and a steam driven pump provided with a steam port, a water inlet and a water outlet, wherein the steam generator, the water tank and the steam driven pump are arranged in the containment vessel, the heat exchanger inlet is in communication with the steam outlet of the steam generator by means of a first pipeline, the heat exchanger outlet is in communication with the water inlet of the steam driven pump by means of a second pipeline, the water outlet of the steam driven pump is in communication with the water supply inlet of the steam generator by means of a third pipeline, and the steam port of the steam driven pump is in communication with the first pipeline by means of a fourth pipeline. The present invention does not rely on an external driving force, thereby greatly reducing the failure probability of the system and improving the safety of the system.

Reactor secondary side passive residual heat removal system

An integrated passive reactor system including a pressure vessel, a containment vessel arranged outside the pressure vessel, and a reactor core arranged inside the pressure vessel. A primary loop operates in full natural circulation. The reactor system is provided with a secondary side passive residual heat removal system including a primary loop heat exchanger arranged inside the pressure vessel and a passive residual heat removal heat exchanger arranged outside the containment vessel. The primary loop heat exchanger is arranged above the reactor core. The passive residual heat removal heat exchanger is arranged inside a water tank which is fixed outside the containment vessel. The primary loop heat exchanger and the passive residual heat removal heat exchanger are connected by heat exchanger inlet pipelines and heat exchanger outlet pipelines.

Integrated reactor system having passive removal of residual heat

An apparatus for retention of molten material for a Generation IV reactor after a nuclear power plant accident comprises an inner wall which is peripherally closed, a vapor channel wall with an opening at the bottom fixed in the inner side of the inner wall, a pressure vessel disposed in the vapor channel wall, a vapor rising channel formed between the pressure vessel and the vapor channel wall, and it further comprises an outer wall surrounding the inner wall, a core molten material retention apparatus fixed at the bottom of the inner wall, and a deflector keeping away from the inner wall and the core molten material retention apparatus to form a gap; wherein a coolant falling channel is formed between the outer wall and the deflector, a coolant inlet is disposed at the bottom of the deflector, and a coolant channel is disposed between the inner wall and the core molten material retention apparatus; a core molten material retention recess is disposed at the upper surface of the core molten material retention apparatus, and the lower surface of the core molten material retention apparatus is arch-shaped; the core molten material retention apparatus is made of non-metal inorganic fireproof material. The invention adopts the design of molten material retention outside the reactor, using different material containing molten material and cooling the molten material by coolant cycle and the deflector structure, thus to improve the safety of the nuclear power plant.
