CONT

The cover gas keeps a cushion above the moderator. This allows for expansion and contraction of the heavy water. It also absorbs transient high pressure caused by the liquid injection shutdown system.

Domaine(s)
  • Sûreté des centrales nucléaires
  • Réacteurs nucléaires de fission
  • Tiroir - Commission canadienne de sûreté nucléaire
CONT

Le gaz de couverture agit comme un coussin au-dessus du modérateur. Il laisse place à la dilatation et à la contraction de l'eau lourde. Il absorbe également la pression transitoire élevée causée par le système d'arrêt d'urgence par injection de liquide.
