Les réacteurs [RBMK] de la deuxième génération sont équipés d’un système de condensation de la vapeur, appelé système de localisation d’accident, capable de faire face à la rupture d’un canal. Dans ce cas, la surpression dans la cavité réacteur est limitée par une membrane d’éclatement à grande surface, ouvrant sur une conduite qui dirige la vapeur vers des rampes de bullage trempant dans une piscine où elle est condensée. Des soupapes ouvrant directement sur l’atmosphère sont destinées à faire face à la rupture de plusieurs tubes de force. 1, record 1, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20localisation%20d%26rsquo%3Baccident
