The generator is housed in a secure, enclosed area, accessible through a security checkpoint and monitored 24/7.
The generator building is constructed of reinforced concrete.
Operation of the generator
The primary circuit extracts heat from the core of the micro-reactor and cools it through the circulation of pressurized helium.
It is a high-temperature micro-reactor (HTR), cooled by a helium heat transfer fluid and moderated by graphite. Heat is generated inside this micro-reactor through the nuclear fission reaction.
They are inserted above the core of the micro-reactor and can be inserted to control its reactivity. They act as the brake and accelerator of the micro-reactor.
The secondary circuit uses CO2 and allows connection to the industrial heat circuit. A cold loop originates from the industrial site, then is heated by the CO2 circuit to a temperature of up to 450°C.
Intrinsic safety
Thanks to fundamental safety features that enable the generators to withstand any internal or external disturbance:
5.0
Graphite acts as a neutron moderator, allowing residual heat to be stored and then passively dissipated in the event of a microreactor shutdown.
35+
The TRISO particles that make up the microreactor's fuel retain 99.9% of fission products, even in the event of an accident.
$0.00
Any significant increase in temperature naturally leads to a decrease in core reactivity, automatically reducing the reactor's power output. This inherent physical property stabilises the reactor and prevents the risk of overheating accidents.
Une sûreté intrinsèque
Grâce à des propriétés fondamentales qui permettent aux générateurs de résister à toute perturbation interne ou externe :
Le graphite joue un rôle de modérateur et permet le stockage, puis l’évacuation passive de la chaleur résiduelle en cas d’arrêt du micro-réacteur.
Les particules Triso, qui composent le combustible du micro-réacteur, confinent 99,9% des produits de fission, y compris en cas d’accident.
Toute augmentation significative de la température « étouffe »
le micro-réacteur.
