  • Reactor building assembly and method of operation
    Patent number: 5215708
    Abstract: A reactor building assembly includes a pressure vessel within a containment vessel surrounded in turn by first and second enclosures defining respective first and second chambers. A method of operation includes channeling fresh air downwardly by gravity through the second chamber and then channeling the fresh air laterally through the first enclosure adjacent to the bottom thereof and into the first chamber. The air is then channeled upwardly by natural buoyancy through the first chamber for cooling the first chamber and mixing with stale air therein. The stale air is then discharged from the first chamber upwardly through the top of the first enclosure to the environs.
