    Abstract: A passive safety system comprises a heat exchanger, a thermoelectric element, and a fan unit. The heat exchanger is located inside a containment. The heat exchanger allows for temperature of atmosphere in the containment to be reduced. The thermoelectric element is disposed within the heat exchanger. The thermoelectric element is configured to generate electricity due to a temperature difference. The fan unit receives electricity generated by the thermoelectric element. The fan unit is configured to increase flow rate of fluid inside the containment. A nuclear power plant can include the passive safety system.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: The present disclosure may disclose a multi stage safety injection device, including a safety injection tank formed to contain coolant to be injected into a reactor vessel by a gravitational head of water when an accident occurs in which the pressure or water level of the reactor vessel is decreased, a pressure balance line connected to the reactor vessel and safety injection tank to form a pressure balance between the reactor vessel and the safety injection tank, and a set of safety injection lines connected to the safety injection tank and the reactor vessel to inject coolant to the reactor vessel in a pressure balance state between the reactor vessel and the safety injection tank, and connected to the safety injection tank with different heights to reduce a flow rate of coolant injected into the reactor vessel step by step according to the water level reduction of the safety injection tank in order to inject coolant to the reactor vessel at multi stages.
