Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, an emergency core cooling system (ECCS) valve provided between a reactor vessel of a system-integrated modular advanced reactor (SMART) and a small containment vessel formed to surround the reactor vessel so that a coolant is filled in a space between the reactor vessel and the small containment vessel in the event of a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) includes an outer shell connected to the reactor vessel and formed to protrude toward the small containment vessel and having a connector formed therein so as to communicatively connect an inside of the reactor vessel to an inside of the small containment vessel, an inner shell provided inside the outer shell at a preset distance from an inner wall of the outer shell, a piston movably constrained and inserted through a piston opening formed in the inner shell at a position facing the connector of the outer shell to open and close the connector, and a spring provided on an outer circumferential surface of the p

Abstract: The present invention relates to a plate heat exchanger and provides a heat exchanger and a nuclear power plant comprising same, the heat exchanger comprising: a plate unit having multiple plates overlapping one another; a flow path unit, which forms flow paths having fluids flowing therein by processing at least parts of the respective plates; and a detection flow path formed between the multiple plates so as to allow the fluids leaking from the flow paths to flow thereinto and formed so as to detect the leakage of the fluids from the flow paths.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a passive heat removal system which circulates cooling fluid to a steam generator via a main water supply line connected to the lower inlet of the steam generator, and a main steam pipe connected to the top outlet of the steam generator, to remove sensible heat of a nuclear reactor coolant system and residual heat of a core. The heat removal system comprises supplementary equipment for receiving surplus cooling fluid or for supplying supplementary cooling fluid in order to maintain the flow rate of the cooling fluid within a predetermined range. The supplementary equipment comprises: a supplementary tank, installed at a height between the lower inlet and the top outlet of the steam generator; a first connection pipe, connected to the main steam pipe and the supplementary tank; and a second connection pipe, connected to the supplementary tank and the main water supply pipe.

Abstract: Provided is a passive containment spray system including: a spray coolant storage unit that communicates with a containment accommodating a reactor vessel and maintains equilibrium of pressure between the spray coolant storage unit and the containment; a spray pipe that is installed within the containment in such a manner that when an accident occurs, a coolant supplied from the spray coolant storage unit is sprayed into the containment through the spray pipe due to an increase in pressure within the containment; and a connection pipe one end of which is inserted into the spray coolant storage unit in such a manner as to provide a flow path along which the coolant flows and the other end of which is connected to the spray pipe in such a manner that the coolant is passively supplied to the spray pipe through the connection pipe therein.
