Abstract:
A two-part integrated head assembly () is disclosed wherein the lower portion () attaches to, and is supported by, the reactor vessel closure head (), and the upper portion () is fluidly connected to the lower portion, but is supported externally from the reactor vessel closure head. In the disclosed embodiment, the upper portion includes transverse support beams () that engage containment walls (), for example steam generator walls, to support the upper portion. A duct () releasably connects a fan plenum () in the upper portion with an annular plenum in the lower portion, such that fans () can draw heated air from around the CEDMs (). In one embodiment, a chiller () is provided in the fan plenum to cool the air prior to expelling it in containment. A missile shield () is also provided in the upper portion.
