An ex-vessel steam explosion may occur if the primary system is breached by hot debris. Debris in the reactor outlet piping may fail the piping and fall onto the pump room floor or debris on the reactor vessel bottom may be blocked from flowing into the outlet piping if it freezes in the effluent piping nozzle muff structure. If this occurs, the debris will heat up on the reactor vessel bottom and eventually fail the bottom shield. The likely mode of failure of the bottom shield is collapse of the shield as a whole. If it collapses, the entire shield, as well as the molten debris, will fall into the pin room below the reactor vessel. The debris will then flow across the floor into the pump room. In either event, a large portion of the reactor fuel inventory will be deposited on the pump room floor. The pump room floor will be covered with water in many scenarios. A steam explosion may result when the debris enters this water. 1, record 1, English, - ex%2Dvessel%20explosion

La condition nécessaire à une explosion vapeur est le simple contact entre les deux fluides, mais les situations les plus énergétiques sont celles où les deux fluides sont mélangés avant que ne se déclenche la fragmentation. Dans les réacteurs à eau pressurisée de tels mélanges pourraient se former après la fusion du cœur lors de la relocalisation du corium en fond de cuve (explosion en cuve) et/ou éventuellement lors de la percée de la cuve et la chute du corium dans le puits de cuve (explosion hors cuve). 1, record 1, French, - explosion%20hors%20cuve

There is an increasing emphasis on correlating environmental impacts and health effects across Canada and therefore a need for a relational database containing water use data, accessible by governments and the public. The database consists of basic municipal population as well as water and sewage flow information from 1355 Canadian municipalities. It also includes simple raw data summations. Some water use groups, water treatment and wastewater treatment types, and effluent data are available as well. 1, record 2, English, - Municipal%20Water%20Use%20Database

On met de plus en plus l'accent sur la corrélation entre les incidences environnementales et les effets sur la santé au Canada. C'est pourquoi, une base de données relationnelles comprenant des données sur l'utilisation de l'eau est nécessaire, base de données accessible par les gouvernements et le public. La base de données comprend les populations municipales de base ainsi que des renseignements sur l'alimentation en eau et l'écoulement des eaux d'égout fournis par 1 355 municipalités canadiennes. Elle comprend également des sommations de données brutes. Certains groupes utilisateurs d'eau, types de traitement de l'eau et des eaux usées, ainsi que des données sur les effluents, sont également consultables. 1, record 2, French, - Base%20de%20l%27utilisation%20de%20l%27eau%20par%20les%20municipalit%C3%A9s

Cette condition est remplie si les réactifs ajoutés sont mélangés dans un temps infiniment court et si la recirculation interne est telle que le temps mis par une molécule pour aller d'un point quelconque du réacteur à un autre est infiniment petit devant le temps de passage. Il en résulte que le courant de produits extraits du réacteur a la même composition instantanée que le mélange réactionnel. 1, record 5, French, - r%C3%A9acteur%20continu%20agit%C3%A9

Efficient washing following the chlorination stage is important, carryover of acid effluent will neutralize some of the caustic and thereby increase chemical costs.
