Abstract
A cooling system in a nuclear power plant is disclosed, including a boundary section disposed inside a containment to enclose a reactor coolant system, and configured to restrict steam containing radioactive materials generated in the reactor coolant system from leaking into paths other than a discharge part. An In-Containment Water Storage Tank (IRWST) is disposed outside the boundary section and is configured to store refueling water therein. An emergency cooling tank is disposed outside the containment and is provided with a condensation heat exchanger. A gas-liquid separator is connected to the emergency cooling tank outside the containment. A return line is configured to connect the gas-liquid separator and the boundary section such that condensate generated by condensing the steam within the boundary section, through the emergency cooling tank and the gas-liquid separator, is discharged toward the boundary section upon an occurrence of a nuclear power plant accident.
