Description

The main features of the proposed feedwater/coolant plant for a commercial SGHWR are described with particular reference to circuit chemistry and materials choice. The adopted techniques for decontamination and the control of off-load chemistry are also discussed together with certain plant options to minimise circuit activity levels. The main functions of the heavy water control and purification plant are discussed in the context of the commercial operation of a large power reactor. (author)
