ACR-1000 PASSIVE FEATURES

摘要

The Advanced CANDU Reactor™ (ACR™) is a Generation III+ pressure tube type reactor using light water coolant and heavy water moderator. The ACR-1000 reactor design is an evolutionary extension of the proven CANDU reactor design.rnThe ACR-1000 incorporates multiple and diverse passive systems for accident mitigation. Where necessary, one or more features that are passive in nature have been included for mitigation of any postulated accident event.rnThis paper describes how the use of passive design elements complements active features enhances reliability and improves safety margins.
