condensers are passive cooling systems. In case of high temperatures of the upper
containment atmosphere the water in the tubes warms up or evaporates and the heat
is transferred to the shielding/storage pool.
3.3.2.7 Residual Heat Removal and Core Flooding Systems
Two active low pressure core flooding and residual heat removal systems perform
the following tasks:
