Abstract
A reactor cooling and power generation system according to the present disclosure includes a reactor vessel, a heat exchange section formed to receive heat generated from a core inside the reactor vessel, from a feedwater system through a fluid, and an electric power production section. A Stirling engine is provided to produce electric energy using the energy of the fluid whose temperature has increased while receiving the heat of the reactor. The system is formed to circulate the fluid that has received heat from the core in the heat exchange section through the electric power production section. The system operates even during a normal operation and during an accident of the nuclear power plant. The reactor cooling and power generation system accompanies a nuclear reactor vessel which includes a reactor coolant system, a feedwater system and a steam generator. A turbine produces electric power from the feed water system.
