Abstract
An emergency core cooling system removes decay heat generated by a reactor core of a reactor system. A reactor vessel uses water as a coolant. A containment structure surrounds the reactor system. A reactor cavity surrounds the reactor vessel. A first cavity pipe extends into the reactor vessel and provides a recirculation loop of cooling water by discharging vapor generated in the reactor vessel and supplying condensed water collected in the reactor cavity in an opposite direction.
