Abstract
A closed loop heat convection cooling system for nuclear reactors. The cooling system is formed outside the containment structure of the nuclear reactor. The cooling system has cooling assemblies that are housed in protective structures, which shield the cooling assemblies from projectile impact. Air inlet and outlet apertures are formed in the protective structures to cause outside air to be drawn into the protective structures to passively cool the cooling assemblies.
