Abstract:
An in-vessel cooling and power generation system according to the present disclosure may include a small scale reactor vessel, a heat exchange section provided inside the reactor vessel, and formed to supply supercritical fluid to receive heat from a reactor coolant system in the reactor vessel, an electric power production section comprising a supercritical turbine formed to produce electric energy using the energy of the supercritical fluid whose temperature has increased while receiving heat from the reactor coolant system, a cooling section configured to exchange heat with the supercritical fluid discharged after driving the supercritical turbine to shrink a volume of the supercritical fluid, wherein the supercritical fluid that has received heat from the reactor coolant system in the heat exchange section is formed to circulate through the electric power production section, and the cooling section.
