Abstract: An assembly includes a base grid configured to be disposed below a pressure vessel and spaced vertically above a floor of a containment vessel to define a sump therebetween. The assembly further includes an annular wall extending vertically upwards from the floor and laterally bounding the base grid and the sump. The wall separates the sump from a suppression pool, an inlet passage extending through the wall and providing flow communication between the sump and the suppression pool, and an outlet passage extending through the wall and providing flow communication between the sump and the suppression pool.
