A large tank with hundreds of pasageways (channels) through it contains the moderator. This complicated tank is called the calandria. It is about 6 m long and 7 m across. The calandria is not a pressure vessel. The moderator is cooled so it will not boil and pressurize the structure. Calandria rupture discs protect the calandria from overpressure. 2, record 4, English, - calandria%20rupture%20disc
