Abstract

See full text

A nuclear reactor containment atmospheric filter system includes dedicated piping, valves, a control system, and a chemical injection system. An outlet of the piping can release atmospheric effluent from a reactor containment vessel into a lower portion of a spent fuel pool. The chemical injection system can release a chemical into the spent fuel pool to facilitate a reaction with the released atmospheric effluent. The reaction can assist in neutering deleterious environmental impact of the atmospheric effluent. The filter system can filter and cool contaminated air and steam vapor released from the reactor containment vessel, and prevent vessel overpressure and radioactive release.
