Negative pressure containment uses a vacuum building. Pressure relief into the vacuum building combines with dousing to drop pressure. Inside the containment envelope, the pressure is soon sub-atmospheric. This stops radiation leakage to the environment. 1, record 6, English, - negative%20pressure%20containment

Le confinement à pression négative utilise un bâtiment sous vide. La décharge de pression dans les bâtiments sous vide se conjugue à l'aspersion pour faire baisser la pression. À l'intérieur de l'enveloppe de confinement, la pression devient vite inférieure à la pression atmosphérique. Cela fait cesser les fuites de rayonnement dans l'environnement. 1, record 6, French, - confinement%20%C3%A0%20pression%20n%C3%A9gative

The Hydro/AECL design team met this challenge by introducing a highly innovative containment concept - what was to become known as the negative pressure containment system. Central to the system is a large reinforced concrete building operated at a high level of vacuum (hence, the name "vacuum building"). This building is linked to the individual reactor buildings via a duct system and a number of parallel isolating valves. These valves are normally closed, permitting the reactor buildings to operate at normal atmospheric pressure. Should an accident arise, leading to a pressure rise in a reactor building, this pressure rise will actuate the isolating valves, thereby opening a flow path from the reactor building to the vacuum building. As a result, the pressure in the reactor building is quickly reduced to below atmospheric pressure, thereby positively preventing the escape to the environment of any radioactivity released inside the reactor building as a result of the accident. 1, record 7, English, - negative%20pressure%20containment%20system
