Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for an alternative cooling system used to cool the suppression pool of a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) nuclear reactor. The cooling system includes a cooling coil in an isolation condenser located at an elevation that is above the suppression pool. The isolation condenser is connected to the suppression pool via inlet and outlet pipes. The system may provide a natural convection flow of fluids between the suppression pool and the cooling coils to passively cool fluid from the suppression pool without requiring external electrical power.
