Abstract: The method and system for bringing a nuclear power plant to a safe state after extreme effect reduce the temperature of the coolant after extreme effect. The system includes inlet and outlet pipelines, a steam generator, a storage tank and a heat exchanger, a separation tank above the steam generator and connected by two pipelines to a storage tank, a pump, a control unit. The method involves filling the system with coolant, feeding the coolant from the steam generator through the inlet pipeline and the storage tank to the heat exchanger, and feeding the coolant through the outlet pipeline back to the steam generator, wherein the pump is turned on for feeding the coolant and subsequent operation of the system. The first air valve is used to maintain pressure in the system, ensuring the absence of boiling of the coolant.

Abstract: Chemical control system for a power plant including at least one coolant electrochemical indication sensor of a flow type electrically connected to the measurement data processing and transmission unit with its outlet connected to a central computer (CPC) controlling the actuator for injection of hydrogen and chemical reagents. The hydraulic inlet of the electrochemical sensor in use of the system is connected by a sampling tube to the power plant process circuit and its hydraulic outlet is hydraulically connected to the first heat exchanger and the first throttling device with a coolant supply circuit in series. The sampling tube is configured to pass a coolant sample to the coolant electromechanical sensor and the coolant supply circuit contains tubes and valves configured to reverse the flow of the coolant sample through the first throttling device.

Abstract: Nuclear power plant (NPP) containment building separation system dividing the NPP containment building into isolated containment building rooms. The system includes containment building separation shutters located in the circular gap which divides the containment building rooms and the containment building walls; an air supply unit connected to a manifold ring which, in turn, is connected to the air-inflated shutters designed to ensure insulation of the airspace inside the containment building rooms when inflated and to connect the airspace when deflated. In emergency mode the air supply to the air-inflated shutters is terminated, and the shutters get deflated and fully open the circular gap which ensures convection process throughout the whole area of containment building.

Abstract: The group of inventions refers to heat exchange machinery. The device includes a tank with an outlet fitting and a steam source, a deaerator column with a cover and water inlet and vapor blowdown fittings located on the same, containing lower and upper deaeration sections. Each section includes pressure and distribution trays forming a jet chamber in the space between them, and random element packing. Deaeration sections are separated by a hydraulic seal formed by the edge of the upper section pressure tray and the projection connected to the deaerator column cover. The water inlet and vapor blowdown fittings are located inside the hydraulic seal projection with openings in it. The lower edges of the openings are located higher than the upper edge of the hydraulic seal by a value exceeding the sum of overflow height of the coolant over the edge and hydraulic resistance of the hydraulic seal channel.
