Abstract
A nuclear power system includes a reactor vessel that includes a reactor core mounted within a volume of the reactor vessel. The reactor core includes one or more nuclear fuel assemblies configured to generate a nuclear fission reaction. The nuclear power system further includes a containment vessel sized to enclose the reactor vessel such that an open volume is defined between the containment vessel and the reactor vessel. A boron injection system is positioned in the open volume of the containment vessel and includes an amount of boron sufficient to stop the nuclear fission reaction or maintain the nuclear fission reaction at a sub-critical state. The boron injection system is positioned to deliver the amount of boron into the open volume.
