Abstract

A floating nuclear power reactor includes a self-cooling containment structure and an emergency heat exchange system. The containment structure of the reactor may be flooded upon the temperature or pressure in the containment structure reaching a certain level. The reactor vessel may also be flooded upon the temperature or pressure in the reactor vessel reaching a predetermined level. The reactor includes a heat exchange system and a filtered containment venting system. The reactor also includes a multi-compartment containment structure. Multiple steam by-pass pipes extend to the filtered containment vent chamber.
