Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a radioactive material reduction facility, including a containment, a boundary section provided inside the compartment to partition an inner space of the containment into a first space for accommodating a reactor coolant system and a second space formed between the first space and the containment, and surround the reactor coolant system to prevent radioactive material discharged from the reactor coolant system or a line connected to the reactor coolant system inside the first space from being directly discharged into the second space during an accident, an in-containment refueling water storage tank (IRWST) installed between the first space and the second space and formed to accommodate refueling water, and a first discharge line formed to guide the flow of steam and radioactive material formed in the first space inside the boundary section into the in-containment refueling water storage tank.
Specifically, the radioactive material reduction facility according to the present disclosure may include a plurality of pools separated from each other, and the plurality of pools may include at least a first pool and a second pool, and the steam and the radioactive material may be discharged to the second pool through the first pool during an accident.
