ABSTRACT

The existing systems of shutdown cooling and thermal shielding of atomic power-generating equipment and also emergency regimes of operation of nuclear power-generating plants are considered. Fundamental solutions for passive systems of shutdown cooling and thermal shielding, the operation of which is based on the principle of a closed evaporation-condensation cycle, are suggested. Their advantages over the existing systems are shown.
