ABSTRACT:
A nuclear reactor, particularly a light water reactor or a helium-cooled high-temperature reactor, is provided with a pressure relief system for relieving pressure resulting under fault conditions from coolant in the reactor pressure vessel and/or the protective vessel of the reactor, wherein the coolant is conducted from the vessel or vessels to a pressure relief station downstream thereof. At the pressure relief station the coolant is fed into a liquid reservoir 4 from which the coolant in gaseous or vapor form is fed sequentially through a washing cyclone 13 and a drying cyclone 25. Most of the radioactive fission products carried by the coolant will have been removed by the liquid reservoir 4 and the washing cyclone 13, and the coolant leaving the cyclone 25 may be safely discharged to atmosphere. Both the liquid reservoir 4 and the washing cyclone 13 are provided with cooling circuits 8 to 12 and 14 to 23 respectively for the liquids.
