Record 2 2017-04-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Plant Safety
  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (Physics)
  • Nuclear Physics
CONT

Medium Pressure Safety Injection with Accumulators. As with current pressurized water reactors(PWRs), accumulators are required for large loss-of-coolant accidents(LOCAs) to meet the need for higher initial makeup flows to refill the reactor vessel lower plenum and downcomer following RCS blowdown. The gas pressure forces open check valves that normally isolate the accumulators from the RCS. The accumulators are sized to respond to the complete severance of the largest RCS pipe by rapidly refilling the vessel downcomer and lower plenum.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sûreté des centrales nucléaires
  • Mécanique des fluides et hydraulique (Physique)
  • Physique nucléaire
CONT

L'accident de perte de réfrigérant primaire par petite brèche [...] les injections de secours à moyenne pression (ISMP) environ 6 à 10 MPa, ne sont pas capables de compenser la brèche en liquide, le circuit primaire se vide, ce qui peut conduire au dénoyage du cœur.

Record 5 1994-04-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plumbing Fixtures
CONT

... notice that there is a small refill tube which feeds into the overflow pipe. During the refilling process, water passes through this tube and into the overflow pipe, and thence to the closet bowl trap. The purpose of this refill tube is to ensure replacement of water in the trap and it is essential that the water in the trap be replaced as a safeguard against sewer gases entering the room through the water closet bowl.

OBS

Figure - flush tank.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Appareils sanitaires
CONT

On peut voir [...] un petit tube de remplissage relié au tuyau de trop-plein. Pendant le remplissage, l'eau passe dans ce tube puis dans le trop-plein pour aller se déverser dans le siphon de la cuvette et assurer la garde d'eau qui empêchera les émanations d'égout de remonter dans la pièce.
