Normally Inactive Drainage. This drainage contains very little or no activity, but it is collected prior to discharge to ensure that it can be treated if contamination occurs. The major sources are reactor building floor drains, laundry drains, and non-active laboratory sinks and floor drains. 1, record 2, English, - laundry%20drain

Drainage des déchets habituellement non radioactifs. Bien que les eaux rejetées soient peu ou pas radioactives, elles sont collectées avant d’être évacuées afin de pouvoir les traiter, en cas de contamination. La plupart de ces eaux s’écoulent des siphons de plancher de l'édifice du réacteur, de la décharge de la buanderie ainsi que, dans le laboratoire, des éviers et des siphons de plancher non raccordés au drainage des produits radioactifs. 1, record 2, French, - d%C3%A9charge%20de%20buanderie

The active drainage system collects drainage from the reactor side of the station. Because the volume of water from these areas is quite large, the system further segregates the drainage into normally inactive drainage and normally active drainage to minimize the amount of water requiring treatment prior to disposal. 2, record 3, English, - active%20drainage%20system

Le réseau de drainage des déchets radioactifs recueille l'écoulement de la partie nucléaire de la centrale. Le fonctionnement du réacteur génère d’importantes quantités d’eau, alors, pour réduire le volume d’eau à traiter avant l'évacuation, les flux sortants sont divisés(1) en drainage de déchets habituellement non radioactifs et(2) en drainage de déchets habituellement radioactif. 1, record 3, French, - r%C3%A9seau%20de%20drainage%20des%20d%C3%A9chets%20radioactifs
