Abstract

A nuclear reactor cooling system includes a cooling water tank disposed above a containment; a spray header connected to the cooling water tank through a first communicating pipe; and an air tank disposed inside the containment; wherein the spray header is disposed outside the containment and used for spraying cooling water to the outer wall of the containment; the cooling water tank is a closed container, and the air tank is connected to the top portion of the cooling water tank through a second communicating pipe. The nuclear reactor cooling system has higher reliability in cooling containment.
