ABSTRACT:
In this process, the decay heat of radioactive substances is carried away by circulating liquid coolant. Some of the liquid coolant is vaporized by the decay heat. The circulation of liquid in the circuit is driven by pressure from the vapor. After exceeding a static pressure head corresponding to the pressure drop in the circuit, the vapor is separated from the liquid and condensed, and the condensate is combined with the liquid returning for repeated partial vaporization.
