Abstract

A nuclear power system has an open volume between containment vessel and a reactor vessel containing a reactor core. Located in the open volume is a container holding a neutron-absorbing chemical in solid form. The container is configured to release the chemical in solid form directly into the open volume in response to a predetermined temperature and/or a predetermined pressure within the open volume. The released chemical can assist in maintaining the reactor core in a sub-critical state.
