[...] Le système RPN mesure le niveau absolu de puissance et la distribution relative de puissance en temps réel. La mesure du niveau de puissance est ajustée sur une mesure faite par bilan enthalpique au secondaire. Un ajustement périodique (calibrage) est nécessaire car la proportionnalité entre la mesure externe et le niveau de puissance réel du réacteur dépend de la composante (x, y) de la distribution de puissance qui, on l'a vu, varie avec l'épuisement du combustible. 3, record 3, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20RPN

CANDU plants can be operated in two basic modes : reactor-following-turbine(RFT) and turbine-following-reactor(TFR). Steam generator pressure control plays a pivotal role in these schemes. In TFR mode the reactor power is held constant at a level set by the operator and the turbine governor control valves are used to regulate steam pressure. This mode is suitable for unit operation within a large system network where it is used to supply the base loads while other units are used to supply peak loads. Since reactor conditions remain constant, this mode also constitutes a safer state of operation from the nuclear plant perspective. The control system reverts to this mode of operation during plant upsets. In RFT mode, the turbine load is set by the operator and the reactor is used to regulate steam pressure. In both TFR and RFT modes, the turbine is also used to regulate speed and assist the system in meeting short-term changes in electrical load demand. In RFT mode, the governor control valves also attempt to maintain a constant generator output. 1, record 12, English, - turbine%2Dfollowing%2Dreactor

The International Reactor Innovative and Secure(IRIS) reactor is a new, pressurized water-cooled nuclear power reactor design... Two potential Integrated Primary System Reactor(IPSR) pressurizer designs are being analyzed for this research project : a steam pressurizer, and a nitrogen gas pressurizer. These two integral pressurizer designs differ from most conventional types, because they incorporate a much larger interface more closely coupled to the reactor primary system. 1, record 17, English, - Integrated%20Primary%20System%20Reactor

A cooling tower basically consists of an air circuit and a water circuit leading to a heat exchange vessel in which the air and water are brought into contact. By a stack effect, i. e. by natural draft, the cooling tower shell provides air circulation. When, as is the case with the wet cooling towers at EDF thermal and nuclear plants, the air and water are placed in direct contact in the heat exchange vessel, the hot air escaping from the shell is saturated with steam : mixing with the colder outside air produces by steam condensation a plume whose structure is similar to a natural cloud. 1, record 28, English, - wet%20cooling%20tower

Lorsque, ce qui est le cas des réfrigérants humides équipant les centrales thermiques et nucléaires d'EDF, l'air et l'eau sont mis en contact direct dans le corps d'échange, l'air chaud qui s'échappe de la coque est saturé de vapeur d'eau : le mélange avec l'air ambiant, plus froid, produit, par condensation de la vapeur, un panache dont la structure s'apparente à celle d'un nuage naturel. 1, record 28, French, - r%C3%A9frig%C3%A9rant%20humide

Les zircaloys. Des alliages de zirconium ont été mis au point dans le but d'éliminer ou au moins de reculer le "breakaway", tout en utilisant d'un point de vue pratique le zirconium Kroll au lieu du zirconium très pur Van Arkel. L'addition d'étain au zirconium s'est révélée très intéressante, elle neutralise l'effet néfaste de l'azote et même, dans une certaine mesure, celui du carbone. Actuellement, le plus utilisé parmi ces alliages est le Zircaloy-2 (1,5% Sn, 0,12% Fe, 0,10% Cr, 0,05% Ni ) avec moins de 60 ppm d'azote, cet alliage est très employé comme matériau de gaine. 2, record 29, French, - zircaloy
