Section: claims

1. A method for managing stoppage of a submerged pressurized-water nuclear reactor of a module configured to produce electrical power, the module having a plurality of steam generators each being provided with a safety valve and associated with a standby condenser, the method comprising:detecting a primary/secondary leak of primary fluid into secondary fluid of one of the steam generators;automatically stopping the reactor and isolating the steam generator suffering from the primary/secondary leak;bringing the standby condensers online;monitoring a primary pressure of the primary fluid;determining that the primary pressure is below the set pressure of the safety valve of the steam generator, then isolating the standby condenser of the steam generator suffering from the primary/secondary leak by preventing the primary fluid from being supplied to the standby condenser; andcontinuing to passively cool the reactor with remaining steam generators of the plurality of steam generators and condensers. 2. The method for managing stoppage of the submerged pressurized-water nuclear reactor according to claim 1, wherein the detection of the primary/secondary leak is done by detecting one or several of the following phenomena:increased activity due to contamination by the primary fluid into the secondary fluid,increased secondary water inventory, anddecreased primary water inventory. 3. The method for managing stoppage of the submerged pressurized-water nuclear reactor according to claim 1, wherein the isolation of the standby condenser of the steam generator suffering from the primary/secondary leak is obtained by triggering a controlled valve inserted between the standby condenser and the steam generator suffering from the primary/secondary leak. 4. The method for managing stoppage of the submerged pressurized-water nuclear reactor according to claim 3, wherein the controlled valve is associated with a compressed air supply. 5. The method for managing stoppage of the submerged pressurized-water nuclear reactor according to claim 2, wherein the isolation of the standby condenser of the steam generator suffering from the primary/secondary leak is obtained by triggering a controlled valve inserted between the standby condenser and the steam generator suffering from the primary/secondary leak.
