SYSTEM FOR CONFINING AND COOLING MELT FROM THE CORE OF A WATER-MODERATED NUCLEAR REACTOR

摘要

The invention relates to the field of atomic energy, specifically to systems which provide for the safety of nuclear power plants, and can be used in the event of serious accidents leading to the meltdown of the core, to the destruction of a nuclear reactor housing and to the discharge of melt into the region of a hermetic containment structure of a nuclear power plant. The technical result is an increase in the reliability of a system for confining and cooling melt from the core of a water-moderated nuclear reactor. The problem addressed by the present invention is that of increasing the efficiency of removing heat from the melt and of increasing the reliability of a structure. The stated problem is solved by the use, in a system for confining and cooling melt from the core of a water-moderated nuclear reactor, of a damper which is installed inside a melt trap housing.
