Abstract
An apparatus for the controlled combustion of ignitable hydrogen-air mixtures in the containment of water-cooled nuclear reactor plants includes at least one ignition source having a self-sufficient energy reservoir with a charge status being monitorable at regular time intervals. A tripping element of the ignition source responds as a function of temperature for tripping an ignition process and triggering a discharge of the energy reservoir in the ignition source during a predetermined period of time.
