Passive containment system

Creators

Description

The passive containment system described consists of interconnected cells: each cell houses a major component of the nuclear reactor system; i.e. reactor vessel, steam generators, pumps, pressurizer, regenerative heat exchanger, and piping. Within the containment cells a primary container formed from interconnected steel sheets encloses the entire reactor coolant system. A secondary steel container immediately surrounds the primary container. The secondary in turn is encased by reinforced or prestressed concrete. An annulus between the primary and secondary containers is water-filled
