    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: 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.

    摘要: Disclosed is a heat exchanger for a passive residual heat removal system, which improves heat transfer efficiency by expanding a heat transfer area. A heat exchange tube includes a first member connected to a steam pipe through which steam generated from a steam generator of a nuclear reactor circulates, and a second member connected to both of the first member and a feed water pipe used to supply water to the steam generator provided in the nuclear reactor, and the first member has the shape different from that of the second member, thereby expanding the heat transfer area so that the heat transfer efficiency is improved.
