Description
Failure of the containment of a PWR as a consequence of a major reactor accident can be prevented by filtered containment venting into the stack through an accident filter system. This greatly reduces the environmental contamination by fission products, which otherwise would be released. Possible filter concepts and their embodiment in stainless-steel fiber filters are described. (orig./HP)
Abstract (German)
Das Versagen des Sicherheitsbehaelters eines DWR als Folge eines schweren Reaktorunfalls kann durch ein geeignetes Sicherheitsventil, das ueber eine Unfallfilteranlage in den Kamin abblaest, verhindert werden. Hierdurch wird die Umgebungsbelastung durch sonst freigesetzte Spaltprodukte wesentlich reduziert. Moegliche Filterkonzepte und ihre Realisierungen mit Edelstahlfaserfiltern werden beschrieben.
