A dynamic containment vessel defined by a stable fluid recirculation within a generally cylindrical containment region (10).

placed in a standard Keter-class containment vessel.

In one embodiment, the system includes an inner containment vessel for housing a nuclear steam supply system and an outer containment enclosure structure.

The refuelling water tank is provided in an embedded position below a reactor core inside a containment vessel, and the safety injection pump is provided outside the containment vessel.

A nuclear reactor plant has a nuclear reactor vessel in a containment vessel.

In accordance with another embodiment, a portable isolation containment system comprises one or more portable containment enclosures coupled to the integrated air processing devices described above.

Heat from an ex-vessel mass of core material is removed to cooler regions of a containment envelope via liquid and/or vapor phase transport.

Containment building resistant to external hazards

For example the Chernobyl reactor had NO containment building.

Containment: Also called the reactor building, the containment building is a concrete building inside the tank which is the heart of the reactor and steam generators.

The wing span of the Boeing 767-400 (170 feet) – the aircraft used in the analyses – is slightly longer than the diameter of a typical containment building (140 feet).

First, a containment chamber (102) is provided for containing propagation of a light wave therein.

A method and apparatus is disclosed to remove product from a containment structure.

A cabling arrangement is provided for a nuclear reactor located within a containment.

A containment casing (10) for a deep well/gravity pressure reactor vessel includes a plurality of casing sections (11) each having a wall portion (20) with corrugations (21).

A passive nuclear power plant includes a reactor vessel enclosed by a containment shell.

The entire primary loop of the nuclear reactor – the pressure vessel, pipes, and pumps that contain the coolant (water) – are housed in the containment structure.

While the reactor building is equipped with a reinforced containment structure, spent fuels pools are very poorly protected.

In nuclear power production reactors, the last of these barriers is the containment structure (absent on the Chernobyl site but present at Three Mile Island).

The prestressed concrete pressure vessel, which contains both the reactor core and the steam raising heat exchangers, also acts as the containment structure.
