Entrainment-reducing assembly, system including the assembly, and method of reducing entrainment of gases with the assembly

A reactor system, comprising:

• a first container defining a drywell therein;
• a second container defining a wetwell therein, the second container including an upper portion and a lower portion;
• a venting arrangement connecting the drywell to the wetwell, the venting arrangement including a proximal end extending into the drywell and a distal end extending into the upper portion of the wetwell;
• a suction structure extending into the lower portion of the wetwell;
• and
• a deflector disposed between the suction structure and the distal end of the venting arrangement within the second container.

A method of reducing entrainment, comprising:

• discharging gases from a venting arrangement into a liquid;
• alleviating an elevated level of the liquid resulting from condensing gases by performing an extraction of the liquid with a suction structure;
• and
• shielding the suction structure from the entrainment of uncondensed gases in the liquid with a deflector during the extraction of the liquid.
