Zusammenfassung:	A method and apparatus for providing an alternative cooling system for the suppression pool of a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) nuclear reactor. The cooling system is operated to cool the suppression pool in the event of a plant accident when normal plant electricity is not available for the conventional residual heat removal system and pumps. The cooling system may also be used to supplement the cooling of the suppression pool via the residual heat removal system. The cooling system is operated and controlled from a remote location, which is ideal during a plant emergency.
