ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for use in conjunction with a passive nuclear reactor containment cooling system to significantly reduce the release of radiation and resulting off-site doses is disclosed. Gases that may contain radioactive materials are drawn from a penetration room and pass through a filter prior to being fed into the passive containment airflow path. Low pressure areas are created in the passive containment airflow path by means of eductor/airfoils. Such low pressure zones draw the gases from the penetration rooms.
