The high-pressure water supply tanks may empty before water collects in the recovery sump. To protect against this, a low-pressure water supply injects water after high-pressure injection ends and before recovery begins. The low-pressure supply consists of the recovery pumps, drawing water from an emergency storage tank and pumping it to the reactor headers.

CONT

Les réservoirs d'approvisionnement d'eau haute pression peuvent se vider avant que l'eau se soit accumulée dans les puisards de récupération. Pour éviter cela, un approvisionnement d'eau basse pression injecte de l'eau lorsque l'injection haute pression se termine et avant que la récupération commence. L'approvisionnement basse pression comprend des pompes de récupération, de l'eau tirée d'un réservoir de stockage d'urgence et le système pompe cette eau vers les collecteurs du réacteur.
