Defective fuel (fuel from which fission products can escape) can be removed as soon as it is discovered. This helps lower the radiation dose to station staff. Coolant may contain fission products from failed fuel and activated corrosion products. 1, record 1, English, - defective%20fuel

Le combustible défectueux(combustible duquel des produits de fission peuvent s’échapper) peut être enlevé dès que l'on constate sa défaillance. Cela permet de réduire au minimum la dose de rayonnement au personnel de centrale. Le caloporteur peut contenir des produits de fission provenant du combustible défectueux et des produits de corrosion rendus radioactifs. Le combustible brisé laisse s’échapper des matières radioactives. Pour que le réacteur fonctionne de façon sûre et économique, le combustible doit être bien conçu et bien fabriqué. 1, record 1, French, - combustible%20d%C3%A9fectueux

Fission Product Containment. Uranium dioxide holds 95% of the fission products within its structure. Most of the fission products released come from the hot inner part of the pellet. These migrate to cracks in the cooler part of the pellet and escape into the spaces between the pellets. Some of this free inventory escapes if the fuel element ruptures. 1, record 2, English, - fission%20product%20containment

Confinement des produits de fission. Le dioxyde d’uranium conserve dans sa structure 95 % des produits de fission. La plupart des produits de fission libérés proviennent de la région chaude au coeur de la pastille. Ils se diffusent par les fissures dans la partie plus froide des pastilles et s’échappent dans les cavités entre les pastilles. Une partie des substances libres s’échappera si le crayon de combustible se brise. 1, record 2, French, - confinement%20des%20produits%20de%20fission
