ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a method for protecting the integrity of the reactor container base in nuclear power plants, and a device for implementing the method.
The proposed method and device are applicable to all reactor types (PWR or pressurized water reactor, BWR or boiling water reactor, HWR or heavy water reactor, etc.) and to all types of containing system (large dry type, steam suppression type, condensation on ice type, subatmospheric type etc.), although for simplicity the present text will describe only their application to a PWR with a steam suppression and large dry containing system.
