  • Patent number: 5802128
    Abstract: The recovery device includes a first tank containing a volume of water open in the inner space of the safety containment and a closed second tank isolated from the inner space of the safety containment. The second tank is smaller than the first tank, and is at least partly immersed in the water contained in the first tank. The inner volume of the immersed part of the second tank is placed in communication with the volume of water contained in the first tank by strainers. A discharge pipe is connected at one of its ends to a discharge point of the coolant circuit of the nuclear reactor and includes an end part opposite the discharge point opening into the interior of the second tank.

  • Patent number: 4799538
    Abstract: Device for condensing steam under pressure consisting of a unit incorporating a storage vessel (6) containing cooling water, a distribution and heat exchange unit (15) fixed inside the storage vessel (6) and a water supply (30,31) for replacing the water in a storage tank (6) which is vaporized by contact with the tubes (24) of the distribution and heat exchange unit (15). A stack (7) is connected to the upper part of the storage vessel (6) and a tranquilizer grid is arranged in the storage vessel, above the heat exchange unit (15). The circulation of the fluid which is constituted of a two-phase mixture of water and steam is thus activated, while avoiding drawing out a significant quantity of water with the steam.

  • Patent number: 4765946
    Abstract: Intrinsically safe emergency cooling device for a pressurized-water nuclear reactor, comprising an auxiliary circuit which feeds the steam generator and in which is arranged a condenser (10) receiving the steam from the generator and condensing it. The condensate is returned to the steam generator by means of gravity. The device also incorporates a passive adjustment means comprising an adjustable valve (21), a cylinder (23), the chamber of which communicates with the steam pipe (7) and contains a piston (33), and a coupling means (32) between the piston (33) and the shut-off element (30) of the valve (21). The feed rate of the steam generator and the cooling power of the condenser (10) can be regulated in this way.
