Abstract
Radioactive liquids are stored in coils placed in tanks containing circulating cooling medium. The liquid in the coil is circulated by a fluidic pump. In the event of a failure in the pumps circulating the cooling medium the decay heat will cause the cooling medium to boil. A reflux condensor fitted to the tank prevents loss of cooling medium during such periods of pump malfunction.
