Abstract
Provided is a reactor secondary side passive residual heat removal system, comprising: a containment vessel; a steam generator provided with a steam outlet and a water supply inlet; a water tank, the water tank being internally provided with a heat exchanger, the heat exchanger having a heat exchanger inlet and a heat exchanger outlet; and a steam driven pump provided with a steam port, a water inlet and a water outlet, wherein the steam generator, the water tank and the steam driven pump are arranged in the containment vessel, the heat exchanger inlet is in communication with the steam outlet of the steam generator by means of a first pipeline, the heat exchanger outlet is in communication with the water inlet of the steam driven pump by means of a second pipeline, the water outlet of the steam driven pump is in communication with the water supply inlet of the steam generator by means of a third pipeline, and the steam port of the steam driven pump is in communication with the first pipeline by means of a fourth pipeline. The present invention does not rely on an external driving force, thereby greatly reducing the failure probability of the system and improving the safety of the …
