ABSTRACT:
When hydrogen is generated within the containment of a nuclear power station, its containment atmosphere must be inerted. An undesired pressure buildup within the containment is prevented during such inerting with the apparatus and the method. It is possible to vent and inert the containment atmosphere simultaneously. A reversible activity holdup device is provided, which makes it possible to vent the containment atmosphere, without radioactive material being released into the surroundings. It is thereby also possible for the containment of a nuclear power station to be inerted even as a preventive measure, so that the safety of the nuclear power station plant is markedly increased.
