Description

The RBMK reactor is so different from the BWR's and PWR's operating in Germany that the individual design characteristics and potential causes of accidents cannot be compared directly. It is worth noting the difficult control characteristics of the Russian type with the positive void coefficient and the absence of a pressure-proof safety containment. The plant which suffered the accident is briefly described. (DG)

Abstract (German)

Der RBMK ist von den in Deutschland betriebenen Siede- und Druckwasserreaktoren so verschieden, dass die einzelnen Konstruktionsmerkmale und potentielle Unfallursachen nicht direkt verglichen werden koennen. Bemerkenswert ist das schwierige Regelverhalten des russischen Typs mit positivem Void-Koeffizient und das Fehlen eines druckfesten Sicherheitsbehaelters. Die vom Unfall betroffene Anlage wird kurz beschrieben. (DG)
