  • Compartment - Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
CONT

The moderator can be dumped rapidly out of the core, stopping the fission process. As level drops, leakage increases and unthermalized neutrons are less likely to be absorbed.

Domaine(s)
  • Physique atomique
  • Réacteurs nucléaires de fission
  • Tiroir - Commission canadienne de sûreté nucléaire
CONT

Le modérateur peut être drainé rapidement hors du coeur, ce qui arrête le processus de fission. À mesure que le niveau diminue, les fuites augmentent et il est moins probable que les neutrons non thermalisés soient absorbés.
