Fig.2-9 Schematic view of the height difference and natural circulation mechanism at the “MONJU” plant

The reactor equipment is located at 21 m or more above sea level. The difference in height between the core and the air coolers is approximately 24 m, which enables the coolant in the heat transport system to circulate naturally on the basis of the temperature (density) difference, even after a circulation pump shut-down.
