ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for avoiding potential accidents in water-cooled nuclear reactors of the type having an enclosing containment, due to the formation of an explosive gas mixture in the containment. Air is withdrawn from the containment and fed to at least one internal combustion engine as combustion air for the engine. The exhaust gases created by the internal combustion engine are then recycled back into the containment. The result is the lowering of the oxygen partial pressure in the containment to below the critical limit for oxyhydrogen explosion.
