Principal technologies for the EC6 reactor

摘要

The EC6 reactor heat transport pumps retain the Candu 6 mechanical multi-seal design, which allows for their easy replacement. The heat transport pumps circulate reactor coolant through the fuel bundles in the reactor's fuel channels and through the steam generators. Electric motors drive the pumps.The cooling of the pump seals lengthens service life and the time that the pump will operate under accident conditions.
