Description

The Decay Heat Removal System was not used to remove decay heat following the accident at Three Mile Island Unit 2. Instead, other systems were utilized. Further, additional systems were designed to provide supplementary post-accident heat removal capability. Still other backup systems were designed, but not installed. This paper discusses post-accident cooldown, as well as means taken to provide backup cooling capability. The TMI-2 post-accident experience clearly demonstrates the wide range of options available for removing decay heat
