ECCS

Company officials say that emergency diesel-fuel generators were programmed to start automatically and that if the water inside the reactor had dropped 20 centimeters further, the emergency core cooling system, or ECCS, would have been triggered, preventing dangerous exposure of fuel rods.

Beyond the control rods which are inserted to absorb neutrons and regulate the fission process, the main engineered safety provisions are the back-up emergency core cooling system (ECCS), used to remove excess heat (though it is more to prevent damage to the plant than for public safety), and the containment.
