The present invention relates to a passive pulse water flow adjustment device for water flow cooling. The device includes a water storage container and a pulse water flow adjustment structure, wherein the water storage container is arranged in front of a to-be-cooled high-temperature wall surface through the pulse water flow adjustment structure, and the pulse water flow adjustment structure provides a non-continuous pouring pulse water flow for the high-temperature wall surface. This device is used to cool the high-temperature wall surface, and when being cooled, the high-temperature wall surface is poured by the pulse water flow.

A nuclear reactor comprises a pressure vessel containing a nuclear reactor core. A reactor core cooling system comprises a standpipe including a plurality of orifices in fluid communication with a refueling water storage tank (RWST) to drain water from the RWST into the standpipe, and an injection line configured to drain water from the standpipe to the pressure vessel. In some embodiments the standpipe is disposed in the RWST, while in other embodiments the standpipe is disposed outside of the RWST and cross-connection pipes connect the plurality of orifices with the RWST. The reactor core cooling system may further comprise a valve configured to control flow through one orifice of the plurality of orifices in fluid communication with the RWST based on water level in the standpipe. The valve may comprise a float valve having its float disposed in the standpipe.

According to an embodiment, a nuclear plant has: an outer well; an in-Containment Atmosphere Dilution System to inject a gas that has a low concentration of oxygen in the outer well into a containment vessel; an accumulator containing pressurized oxygen therein; and a passive containment cooling system including: a scrubbing pool arranged in the outer well; a cooling water pool installed above a dry well and the outer well; a heat exchanger partly submerged in a cooling water; a wet well gas supply pipe that is connected to an inlet plenum of the heat exchanger at one end and connected to a wet well gas phase at the other end; and a gas vent pipe that is connected to an outlet plenum of the heat exchanger at one end and is submerged in the scrubbing pool at the other end.

A liquid metal cooled nuclear reactor incorporates a fully passive decay heat removal system with a modular cold source. The system which simultaneously ensure decay heat removal in a completely passive way from the moment an accident starts; heat removal through the primary vessel; and reduction in the risk of chemical interaction between sodium (or NaK) and the material acting as the final cold source. The presence of the final cold source provides an improvement over sodium/air or NaK/air exchangers that are used in the prior art.
