Unique Fire Protection System Safeguards Nuclear Plant

摘要

When maintenance is required on permanently installed fire protection equipment, it can jeopardize safety. One nuclear power station added additional fire pumps to ensure plant needs could be met under any circumstances. Among the various types of energy that keep a city up and running, none demands the same level of attention and care as nuclear power plants. Fire presents a major hazard at these facilities, posing an increased risk because it has the potential to result in serious damage that could affect the ability of plant operators to safely shut down the plant, causing the reactor core to overheat and radiation to leak.
