EC6 Safety Design Features for Defense-in-Depth and Beyond Design Basis Accidents including Severe Accidents

摘要

The Enhanced CANDU 6 (EC6) is the new Generation III CANDU reactor design that meets the most up to date regulatory requirements and customer expectations. EC6 builds on the proven high performance design and the defence-in-depth features of CANDU 6 units and has made improvements to safety and operational performance, and has incorporated extensive operational feedback including lessons learned from Fukushima. As a Generation III design, the EC6 reactor provides improvements in accident prevention, accident mitigation, severe accident resistance and recovery, and post-accident control and monitoring.
