Description

CAREM project consists on the development and design of an advanced Nuclear Power Plant. In order to verify its innovative features the construction of a prototype is planned. In this paper the main technical characteristics of CAREM-25 prototype reactor are presented. This is a very low power innovative reactor (100MWth) conceived with new generation design solutions. Based on an indirect cycle integrated light water reactor using enriched uranium, CAREM has some distinctive features that greatly simplify the reactor and also contribute to a high level of safety: integrated primary system, primary system cooling by natural convection, selfpressurization, and passive safety systems
