Traduction de «Réacteur de type cuvée » (Français → Anglais) :

In line with the general objective, support to joint research activities concerning the safe operation and decommissioning of reactor systems (including fuel cycle facilities) in use in the Union or, to the extent necessary in order to maintain broad nuclear safety expertise in the Union, those reactor types which may be used in the future, focusing exclusively on safety aspects, including all aspects of the fuel cycle such as partitioning and transmutation.

As of today we are working to repair the last of ten sites that required repair on the reactor vessel.

Research to underpin the continued safe operation of all relevant types of existing reactor systems (including fuel cycle facilities), taking into account new challenges such as life-time extension and development of new advanced safety assessment methodologies (both the technical and human element) including as regards severe accidents, and to assess the potential, the safety and waste-management aspects of future reactor systems, in the short and medium term, thereby maintaining the high safety standards already achieved within the EU and considerably improving the long-term management of radioactive waste.

The maintenance device had been inserted into a pressure tube in the reactor core, and then the maintenance device accidently I'm quoting here burned a hole through the pressure tube in the calandria tube that encases it. It took, I believe, the better part of 24 hours to bring that under control and resulted in it being off-line.

There are two types of nuclear reactor in Canada: power reactors that generate electricity and research reactors.

The older Soviet-built reactors such as the RBMK (Chernobyl type) and VVER 440/230 (water pressurised reactors) are deemed unsafe by specialists and should be shut down as soon as possible.
