Abstract
A nuclear reactor plant with a light water reactor comprises a containment (1) having an upper space (2) and a lower space (3). The lower space is separated from the upper space by a separating member (4) and arranged to house a cooling medium (16). Furthermore, the plant comprises a reactor vessel (9) housing a reactor core (10) and provided in the upper space (2). The separating member (4) comprises a portion (7) which is arranged to be located at such a position that the surface portion (7) facing the lower space (3) is in contact with the cooling medium (16).
