A reactor cooling system for boiling water reactors comprises a pressure vessel containing a core of a boiling water reactor, a static core injection system including a first water source installed at a position higher than the pressure vessel and a first core injection line communicating the first water source with the pressure vessel, and having a capacity not less than 100% of the capacity necessary to maintain submergence of the core in the pressure vessel, and a plurality of dynamic core injection systems each including a second water source, a second core injection line communicating the second water source with the pressure vessel, and a pump provided in the second core injection line, and each having a capacity not less than 50 % of the capacity necessary to maintain submergence of the core in the pressure vessel. Even when the plurality of dynamic core injection systems fail to inject water in a satisfactory manner, the static core injection system having capacity not less than 100% of the capacity necessary to maintain the submergence of the core is operated to start water injection, whereby the submergence of the core can be surely achieved.
