ABSTRACT:
A closed passive nuclear reactor pressure suppression containment system segrated from the nuclear island having suppression tanks connected to the reactor compartment by one or more vent lines terminating in downcomer lines submerged into a water pool in each of said suppression tanks and a return line from each suppression tank whereby water is directed from the suppression tanks to the reactor, by gravity and without active components, to flood the reactor during a loss of coolant accident.
