Purpose

Developing fundamentals of energy efficient technology for cooling metal enclosing structures of NPP reactors by using water-based suspensions and emulsions for elimination of emergency situations caused by critical overheating of the reactor vessel.

​

Field of Application

Emergency cooling systems for metal enclosing structures of NPP reactors designed to prevent overheating of metals above the melting point and ensuing nuclear fuel leakage.
