ABSTRACT:
A passive nuclear power plant includes a reactor vessel enclosed by a containment shell. An in-containment cooling system piped with an out-of-containment heat sink, includes an in-containment heat exchanger vertically extending adjacent the sidewall of the containment shell for inducing natural circulation of the air in the containment shell. The heat exchanger has substantially parallel water-conducting pipes with cooling fins vertically extending therefrom for transferring heat from the naturally circulating air and for condensing steam from the atmosphere.
