ABSTRACT:
The invention pertains to a containment system for a nuclear power plant which provides protection in the event of a loss of coolant accident or other malfunctions wherein the stored energy within the components of the system is contained and absorbed by the use of a plurality of coolant reservoirs capable of absorbing steam and supplying coolant to the reactor coolant system and feedwater to the secondary systems. The system includes a plurality of steam generators which may selectively be employed as an energy source during cooldown, and the design of the reservoirs provides high initial energy absorption as well as extended energy dissipation during cooldown.
