To improve resilience of next-generation nuclear power plants, the authors have performed structural analyses assuming a protected loss of heat sink event, which may cause all decay heat removal systems to lose their functions immediately after reactor shutdown. From the results of these analysis, the authors developed a passive safety structure under extremely high temperatures.
