Record 7 2010-12-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Water Supply
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
CONT

The basic design of the PWR [pressurized water reactor] has not changed … The reactor core contains uranium fuel clad in zircalloy tubes. As silver, indium, and cadmium control rods are extracted from the core, the fuel heats up. Water circulated through the fuel rod area at 2000 psi [pounds per square inch] is heated to 600°F. It transfers its heat to secondary water in U-shaped tubes. The cooled primary water is then pumped back to the reactor core to be heated again.

Authors who cannot use a mouse (e.g., people with physical disabilities or who are blind) must use the slow and tiring process of moving one step at a time through the document to access the desired content, unless more efficient navigation methods are available. Authoring tools should therefore provide an editing view that conveys a sense of the overall structure and allows structured navigation.

OBS

Les utilisateurs qui ne peuvent pas utiliser de souris (ex., les personnes avec des handicaps physiques ou qui sont aveugles) doivent utiliser le lent et fatigant processus de déplacement étape par étape à travers le document pour accéder au contenu désiré, à moins que des méthodes efficaces de navigation soient disponibles. Les outils d'édition devraient par conséquent fournir un mode édition qui transmette le sens de la structure globale et permette une navigation structurée.

OBS

La terminologie anglaise de cette fiche est normalisée par le World Wide Web Consortium (consortium W3C) dont le rôle principal est d'établir les normes reliées aux technologies Internet. La terminologie française est proposée par des traducteurs agréés par le Consortium et elle a été vérifiée par l'auteur de cette fiche.
