  • Natural circulation heat removal system for a nuclear reactor with pile structure
    Patent number: 11443859
    Abstract: A nuclear plant including a nuclear reactor and a natural circulation air cooling system configured to provide cooling of the nuclear reactor based on circulating ambient air from an air inlet opening to absorb nuclear reactor rejected heat through an outlet air opening, due to natural circulation of said ambient air induced by the ambient air absorbing said rejected heat, may further include a pile structure covering at least one opening of the air inlet opening or the air outlet opening. The pile structure may include a pile of packing objects covering the at least one opening, such that the at least one opening is obscured from direct exposure to the ambient environment by the pile of the packing objects.
    Type: Grant
