What Does ECCS Stand For?
ECCS stands for Emergency Core Cooling System
ECCS, or Emergency Core Cooling System, is a critical safety feature in nuclear power plants designed to prevent overheating of the reactor core during emergency situations, such as a loss of coolant accident. It functions by rapidly delivering water or other coolant to the reactor core, ensuring that temperatures remain within safe limits, thereby protecting both the facility and the environment from potential radiation exposure. The ECCS plays a vital role in the overall safety and risk management protocols of nuclear reactors.
