Abstract
A new passive safety system to remove reactor decay heat (energy) from water-cooled reactors have been developed. It consists of (a) a natural-circulation heat transfer subsystem to remove heat from the reactor coolant and dump it into the atmosphere and (b) a subsystem that triggers the heat transfer subsystem based on low water levels. The initiating mechanism relies on the difference in the physical properties of steam and liquid water. In this paper a preliminary description and performance analysis of the water level-initiated decay energy cooling system are provided.
