    摘要: The present disclosure provides a cooling system of an emergency cooling tank, which enables long-term cooling without refilling cooling water, in case of the change in a quantity of heat transferred to the emergency cooling tank according to a lapse of time upon an occurrence of an accident of a nuclear reactor, and a nuclear power plant having the same. The emergency cooling tank cooling system includes an emergency cooling tank, a heat exchanging device installed to be exposed to an outside of the emergency cooling tank to operate in air, and configured to externally emit such that the operation of the emergency cooling tank is continued even without refilling the cooling water, and an opening and closing unit installed at an upper portion of the emergency cooling tank to be located higher than a water level of the cooling water.

    摘要: Provided is a passive containment spray system including: a spray coolant storage unit that communicates with a containment accommodating a reactor vessel and maintains equilibrium of pressure between the spray coolant storage unit and the containment; a spray pipe that is installed within the containment in such a manner that when an accident occurs, a coolant supplied from the spray coolant storage unit is sprayed into the containment through the spray pipe due to an increase in pressure within the containment; and a connection pipe one end of which is inserted into the spray coolant storage unit in such a manner as to provide a flow path along which the coolant flows and the other end of which is connected to the spray pipe in such a manner that the coolant is passively supplied to the spray pipe through the connection pipe therein.

    摘要: A separate type safety injection tank comprises: a coolant injection unit connected to a reactor coolant system by a safety injection pipe such that coolant stored therein is injected into the reactor coolant system by a pressure difference from the reactor coolant system when a loss-of-coolant-accident (LOCA) occurs; a gas injection unit connected to the coolant injection unit, and configured to pressurize the coolant injected into the reactor coolant system, by introducing gas stored therein to an upper part of the coolant injection unit in the loss-of-coolant-accident; and a choking device disposed between the coolant injection unit and the gas injection unit, and configured to contract a flow cross-sectional area of the gas introduced to the coolant injection unit, and configured to maintain a flow velocity and a flow rate of the gas introduced to the coolant injection unit as a critical flow velocity and a critical flow rate when a pressure difference between the coolant injection unit and the gas injection unit is more than a critical value.
