IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO AIR VENTILATING EQUIPMENT FOR NUCLEAR REACTORS
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4059623
Air ventilating equipment for a reactor containment is described. The equipment consists of a compressor which withdraws air from the containment and passes it to a receiver at an elevated pressure, an outflow control valve between the receiver and the atmosphere and operable at a predetermined pressure, and a radioactivity detector adapted to cause discontinuance of the air withdrawal from the containment should a predetermined level of radioactivity be reached in the outflow air. The detector monitors air released from the receiver by the valve and is connected through a servo-mechanism to a cut-out for the compressor. A filter is located on the inlet side of the compressor for absorbing gaseous fission products and a second detector is located on the outlet side of the compressor whereby the efficiency of the filter can be observed.
