Abstract of the Disclosure An apparatus for cooling molten material resulting from a nuclear reactor core meltdown is disclosed. The apparatus includes a basin positioned under the reactor which is protected against excessive heat by a star-like array of heat pipes whose evaporator sections are disposed above the pan and whose condenser sections are disposed in a heat sink exterior to the containment building of the reactor. Additionally, the vertical walls of the reactor vessel chamber are similarly protected by an array of heat pipes similarly arranged and provided to intercept the radiant energy of the molten core material.
