Description

The vacuum building is one of the major safety features of Ontario Hydro's CANDU reactors, and assurance is required of its continuing integrity. Extensive pre-service testing of a new vacuum building under simulated emergency conditions is being performed. Periodic in-service evaluation of concrete structural components of another vacuum building has been carried out to assure structural reliability
