  • Nuclear Power Stations
  • Compartment - Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
CONT

The active drainage system collects drainage from the reactor side of the station. Because the volume of water from these areas is quite large, the system further segregates the drainage into normally inactive drainage and normally active drainage to minimize the amount of water requiring treatment prior to disposal.

CONT

Le réseau de drainage des déchets radioactifs recueille l'écoulement de la partie nucléaire de la centrale. Le fonctionnement du réacteur génère d'importantes quantités d'eau, alors, pour réduire le volume d'eau à traiter avant l'évacuation, les flux sortants sont divisés (1) en drainage de déchets habituellement non radioactifs et (2) en drainage de déchets habituellement radioactif.
