Abstract

An emergency cooling device for a nuclear reactor in which the core is constituted by N independent modules and a heat-transporting fluid is circulated within each module M.sub.i under the action of a pump P.sub.i essentially comprises a manifold C and N pipes S.sub.i (i = 1, 2 . . . N), each pipe S.sub.i being connected between the manifold C and a pipe K.sub.i which provides a connection between the pump P.sub.i and the module M.sub.i.
