Abstract
In order to supply emergency coolant directly to the core inlet of a nuclear reactor, a separate and distinct channel is located within the reactor vessel. This channel flows downward along the perimeter of the core barrel and discharges its emergency coolant directly to the core inlet. Separate nozzles couple this channel to the supply of emergency coolant.
