Description

Presented on March 1984 in an international conference for the first time, 'CAREM Concept' focused on engineering solutions from early stages of the design that minimize requirements to safety and safeguards systems making the product simpler, highly reliable and cost effective. The overall idea was widely adopted by worldwide designers, originated a new category of small a medium size nuclear power plants frequently know as 'integrated reactor' and/or 'Advanced-passive safety-reactor'. This paper describes the main design features, progress and prospects of the CAREM project as well as proliferation resistant conditions applicable to the design. (author)
