My own idea for mitigation of a temporary Loss of Coolant Accident in an RBMK-1000/1500. The way it works is by taking water from the main circuit, mixing it from SAOR and heating SAOR water then discharging it back to RX. WATER EQUALIZATION ON.

  Update 3 9 Mar 26 8:56PM CDT, made several changes to the way water is injected or sprayed, added more cooldown systems for auxiliaries, removed known issue where the MWAX cooling solution flash-ignites due to contact with structures above its flash temperature. Added oil-water heat exchanger (TEPLO) to tank KC cooling system. Changed MWAX cooling system's operation slightly. Other tweaks.

  Update 2 9 Mar 26 5:30AM CDT, added "Technical Water" loop to cool the MWAX preheating solution, added forced mixing system in tank "KC" using PUMP. Added impact nipples (yes that is the proper term) to prevent backflow during forced mixing in tank "KC". Tweaked PRTI/PRTO system to ensure constant flow through "Technical Water" loop.
