WWER-640/407. Annex 12

Creators

Description

Several passive safety systems based on natural circulation phenomena are used in WWER-640/407 reactors to fulfill the fundamental safety functions of reactivity control, fuel cooling, and radioactivity confinement. Implementation of these systems made it possible to significantly increase power plant safety in terms of the expected severe core damage and excessive radioactivity release frequencies
