Disclosed is a nuclear power plant. In the event of an accident, a Stirling engine is operated by using heat generated in a nuclear power plant. Power is supplied to a safety system by directly using the power of the Stirling engine or producing power. Therefore, the reliability of the safety system such as a passive safety system can be improved by operating the safety system without an emergency diesel generator or external power. So, economic efficiency can be improved. 사고 시 원전안전계통에서 발생하는 열을 사용해 스털링 엔진을 구동하고, 이 동력을 직접 이용하거나 전력을 생산해 안전계통에 동력을 제공함에 따라, 비상디젤발전기나 외부전력 없이도 안전계통을 작동시켜 피동안전계통과 같은 안전계통의 신뢰도를 향상시키고 경제성을 향상시킬 수 있는 원전이 개시된다.
