There are two different containment designs for CANDU reactors: the pressure suppression containment system and the negative pressure containment system. Single unit stations use a pressure suppression containment system. The containment structure, which is the reactor building itself, complies with the pressure vessel code standards. It has a very low leak rate under pressure.

Il existe deux types de système de confinement différents pour les réacteurs CANDU : le système de confinement à suppression de pression et le système de confinement à pression négative. Les centrales à une seule tranche utilisent un système de confinement à suppression de pression. La structure du confinement, qui est le bâtiment réacteur, respecte les normes du code sur les chaudières et appareils sous pression. Son taux de fuite sous pression est très faible.
