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.
