Abstract

According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a housing (180) with a casing (174), which defines an inner volume for receiving a plurality of control rod assemblies (140). An inlet (178) is formed into the casing (174) for connecting the inner volume into a flowing connection with a cavity (176) inside the casing wall. A pump (200) is provided to the cavity (176) for motivating fluid from the inner volume of the casing (174) through the inlet (178) and out of the housing (180) via the cavity (176).
