Tous les réacteurs CANDU sont équipés d'une soupape à grand débit prévue pour évacuer la vapeur dans l'atmosphère ou le condenseur, alors qu'il fonctionne à 60 % de sa capacité maximale. Ils sont également équipés de plus petites soupapes d'évacuation de la vapeur dans l'atmosphère, pour évacuer la chaleur résiduelle (désintégration des produits de fission) à l'arrêt, si l'on ne peut diriger la vapeur dans le condenseur. 1, record 2, French, - vanne%20de%20rejet%20de%20vapeur
