A remote heat removal system that pumps a secondary fluid from a remote reservoir through a secondary side of a heat exchanger in heat exchange relationship with a primary fluid to be cooled. The secondary fluid drives a motive device that drives the primary fluid through the primary side of the heat exchanger.

The present invention relates to an alternate feedwater injection system to at least partially mitigate the effects of an aircraft impact on a light water nuclear reactor positioned in a reactor building. The light water nuclear reactor has a primary system and a reactor core. The alternate feedwater injection system includes a water storage tank, an injection point into the primary system, a pump capable to transfer water from the water storage tank to the injection point and ultimately to the reactor core. The water storage tank and pump are located external to a reactor building and outside of an identified aircraft impact area or inside the identified aircraft impact area and provided with a means of protection from the aircraft impact.
