Electrical self generation in RCIC/ HPIC?

UCS: SOARCA and Vermont Yankee.
SOARCA:

“One concern has been that SOARCA credits certain B5b mitigating strategies (such as RCIC operation w/o DC power) that have really not been reviewed to ensure that they will work to mitigate severe accidents.

I mean, how hard would it be, what don't they have a "alternator" like device attacked to the turbine, like in our cars... where the turbine self generates electricity for the whole machine. Then a computor like device could figure if to stay on the batteries or go alternator.

Yep, then the RCIC pump would have to work with the temp of the water up to 212 degrees, then it might be able to suppy through self generated electrcity power to a motor to cool the torus.

Then you are basically talking about time to boil off the torus and need a vent.

Right, its basically a trade off of primary containment capability, with stretching the core cooling capability as long as can as you are consuming you water reservoirs capabilities.

You could have a small diesel generator stationed in a safe area, up high or distant...run the cable through the reactor building...then all you would have to do is keep the fuel tank full till exhaustion of water resouces on site...that could be the deadicated power source to RCIC or such.

What is your highest prioroity...intergrity of the fuel in the core or primary containment?What is your highest prioroity...intergrity of the fuel in the core or primary containment?
