Abstract
In a nuclear reactor installation, the reactor building which is closed during the operation of the reactor, is subdivided into two ventilation-wise separate zones, wherein overpressure is maintained in the one zone by transporting filtered air from the first to the second zone. The invention is of interest particularly for pressurized water reactors.
Claims10
A nuclear reactor installation comprising a reactor building forming a containment which is closed during reactor operation and internally defines an equipment zone containing radiating components and an operating zone which is accessible to workmen, and having a system for providing an atmospheric overpressure in the operating zone relative to the atmospheric pressure in the equipment zone;
- wherein the improvement comprises said system having means for removing a flow of atmosphere from said equipment zone, filter means for filtering said flow, and means for introducing a flow of the atmosphere filtered by said filter means to said operating zone under said overpressure.
