The cause of the reactor disaster at Fukushima was insufficient heat transfer from the fuel pool
=>All nuclear reactors worldwide have to ensure a safe heat transfer from the fuel pool in an emergency
| Solution: | Passiv-active fuel pool cooler |
 |
| Principle: |
Cooling water at the Primary-side (i.e. from firefighter) drives a turbopump which in turn sucks the warm fuel pool water and pumps it through a plate heat exchanger |
Advantages of this design using the example of a 1MW cooler |
