ABSTRACT:
A decay heat removal system for a liquid metal reactor, in which a decay heat exchanger (DHX) is installed concentrically with an intermediate heat-exchanger (IHX) in the same cylinder which separates the DHX and IHX from the reactor pool fluid, and serves to remove the reactor core decay heat. The cylinder surrounds the IHX and the DHX, and has an opened top portion protruded out of the level of the fluid in a hot pool, a bottom portion connected to a cold pool and a guide pipe for allowing the passage of the fluid from the hot pool into the IHX. The decay heat removal system can remove decay heat immediately after occurrence of an accident, thereby improves the safety of a nuclear plant.
