Abstract

1351982 Cooling reactors KRAFTWERK UNION AG 7 July 1971 [9 July 1970] 32002/71 Heading G6C In a water-filled nuclear reactor fuel element storage tank, the escape of radio-active vapour from the liquid free surface is prevented by a gas stream across the surface and by the removal of surface water at overflow weirs. The water, 2, of the fuel storage tank, overflows at 12, 13 at the surface, 5. Circulation of the water is effected through conduits, 10, by pumps, the flow through which is constricted by the pivoted flaps, 14, so as to maintain an overflow at 12. Laminar air flow is effected through opposing inlets 8, the gas streams meeting at 17 and being drawn down and across the water surface by suction from opposing gas outlets 20.
