Reactor Core Isolation Cooling is a safety system in Nuclear ReactorNuclear ReactorIn it's most simplest form, a nuclear reactor uses Uranium and other radioactive materials and the fission from uranium to create heat, and transfer that heat into steam to create power. Nuclear reactors are one of the biggest sources of energy, although not renewable, uranium has a very high energy density resulting in massive power transmissions. There are many different types of nuclear reactors, and this term serves as a broad hub/introduction for each type. After uranium is used in reactos, primarily used as part of the ECCSECCSEmergency Core Cooling Systems encompass all of the emergency systems used in Nuclear Reactors. Inside of the RPV of a reactor is the reactor core, which gets hot due to fission during operation. In the event that primary cooling systems go offline due to a powerloss, LOCA, or other reason, ECCS systems are automatically enabled. ECCS broadly describes all of the emergency systems used, however specific emergency systems can be used in isolation. Some ECCS systems are specified for a specific d system.
