    摘要: The invention relates to the field of nuclear energy, in particular, to the systems ensuring safety of nuclear power plants (NPPs), and can be used in severe accidents resulting in destruction of the reactor pressure vessel and containment.
    The technical result of the claimed invention is to enhance reliability of the corium localizing and cooling system of a nuclear reactor.
    The objective, which the claimed invention is intended to achieve, is to prevent destruction of the corium localizing and cooling system within the junction area between the vessel for the corium receipt and distribution and the cantilever truss under the conditions on non-axisymmetric corium escape from the reactor pressure vessel and falling of the reactor pressure vessel head fragments into the vessel at the initial stage of the corium cooling with water, and consequently to prevent any ingress of water intended for external cooling of the vessel into the vessel.
    The set objective is achieved due to the fact that the corium localizing and cooling system of a nuclear reactor additionally comprises thermal protection suspended to the cantilever truss, the membrane installed between the cantilever truss and the vessel, and the bandage plates installed on the external and internal side of the membrane.
