Abstract
The present invention relates to an integrated nuclear reactor system including a double containment structure using liquid nitrogen, the nuclear reactor system comprising: a reactor vessel; a reactor core disposed in the reactor vessel; a steam generator disposed in the reactor vessel and located above the reactor core; a first containment vessel surrounding the reactor vessel with a first space interposed therebetween; a second containment vessel surrounding the first containment vessel with a second space interposed therebetween; and a liquid nitrogen supply unit supplying liquid nitrogen into the second space.
Claims4
An integrated nuclear reactor system including a double containment structure using liquid nitrogen, comprising:
- a reactor vessel;
- a reactor core positioned in the reactor vessel;
- a steam generator located in the reactor vessel and above the reactor core;
- a first containment vessel surrounding the reactor vessel with a first space interposed therebetween;
- a second containment vessel surrounding the first containment vessel with a second space interposed therebetween;
- and
- a liquid nitrogen supply unit for supplying liquid nitrogen to the second space,
- wherein the liquid nitrogen supply unit includes:
- an external liquid nitrogen supply unit located outside the second containment vessel;
- a connection valve connecting the liquid nitrogen supply unit and the second space;
- and
- a discharge valve connected to an upper part of the second containment vessel and discharging liquid nitrogen in the second space to the outside.
