ABSTRACT:
A nuclear energy plant with a reactor protecting container in which below the reactor core there is provided a cooled collecting container for molten core masses while cooling pipes are inserted in the wall of the collecting container. The cooling pipes are designed as heat pipes. One end of the pipes is arranged within the region of the inner wall of the collecting container. The other end of the pipes extends into the inner chamber of the cooling tank which is arranged outside the reactor protecting container or containment and is open toward the atmosphere.
