Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for providing an alternative remote spent fuel pool cooling system for the spent fuel pool. The cooling system is operated to cool the spent fuel pool in the event of a plant accident when normal plant electricity is not available for the conventional fuel pool cooling and cleanup system, or when the integrity of the spent fuel has been jeopardized. The cooling system is operated and controlled from a remote location, which is ideal during a plant emergency.
