The invention aims at providing a diversified engineered safety system for a nuclear reactor. The diversified engineered safety system comprises a loop passive residual heat removal subsystem, a secondary-side passive residual heat removal subsystem of a steam generator fed with water by gravity, a total-pressure active residual heat removal subsystem, a low-pressure passive safety injection subsystem and a water-flooding and air-cooling combined passive containment cooling subsystem. All the subsystems can independently run or can be matched with one other, and parallel and redundant complete residual heat removal channels with diversified principles are built between a reactor core and an ultimate heat sink, so that a main system and the reactor core of the reactor can be quickly and efficiently cooled and the reactor can quickly enter a safety state in the initial stage of an accident. Even if one subsystem has a fault, other subsystems can still complete a complete and effective residual heat removal function for guaranteeing that the reactor is effectively cooled.
