Description

The characteristics of the CANDU reactors relevant to accidents are set first by inherent properties of the design and secondly by the nuclear safety/licensing approach. The five barriers for fission products (FP) retention (the most significant radioactivity source from the point of view of biological effects) are described. The safety systems preventing failures and protecting against radioactive release, respectively are presented. The accidents classified in single and dual accidents are defined and described. The radioactive releases inside and outside containment following the important accidents are presented. (Author)
