Description

The fast breeder reactor with an installed power of 1242 MWe on the site of Creys-Malville is down for backfitting activities in the galleries enclosing the four secondary systems in order to ensure nuclear safety under conditions of a very large sodium spray fire. The measures carried out comprise preventive fire protection measures and steps limiting the consequences of such a fire. The nuclear generating unit is scheduled for recommissioning in summer 1994.

Abstract (German)

Der Schnelle Brutreaktor mit 1242 MWe installierter Leistung auf dem Standort Creys-Malville ist zu Nachruestarbeiten in den die vier Sekundaerkreislaeufe umschliessenden Galerien abgeschaltet, um die nukleare Sicherheit im Falle eines sehr grossen Natriumspruehbrandes gewaehrleisten zu koennen. Durchgefuehrt werden vorbeugende Brandschutzmassnahmen und Massnahmen zur Beschraenkung der Auswirkungen. Das Wiederanfahren des Kernkraftwerkblockkes ist fuer Sommer 1994 geplant. (orig.)
