Abstract
Disclosed is a nuclear power plant which drives a Stirling engine by means of heat generated in nuclear power plant safety systems during an accident, uses the resulting power directly or generates electric power so as to supply the power to the safety systems, and thus can improve economic efficiency as well as the reliability of safety systems, such as a passive safety system, by operating the safety systems without an emergency diesel generator or external electric power.
