containment vessel

At the time Mr Edano said the blast had "destroyed the roof of the outer building but the reactor containment vessel did not explode" .

A year after the accident, Denton went inside the reactor containment vessel after it had been vented.

However, the fuel apparently dropped to the bottom of the containment vessel, preventing it from going into a full meltdown stage.

He said the likeliest explanation was an emission of radioactive steam from the containment vessel, although that had not been confirmed.

But if pressure from gases in the nuclear core builds up, 'a crack could appear in the containment vessel and release radiation, ' he said.

This primary containment vessel looks like an old-fashioned light bulb turned upside down and balanced on top of a doughnut.

Reactor operators decided to take drastic action to prevent further melting of the fuel and a possible breach of the containment vessel.

There are fears that reactor three may have released radioactive steam due to a reported damage to its containment vessel.

Such an explosion could damage the containment vessel, causing the leakage of a large quantity of radioactive material.

'At the current point, we believe that there are no cracks or any broken parts of the containment vessel, ' Mr. Nishiyama said.

The planned reactor would have a containment vessel, but it would be located in the same seismic area as the current Metsamor plant.

That blast left the reactor's core and protective containment vessel intact, Japanese nuclear safety officials insisted.

If the reactor pressure vessel is damaged, melted fuel could escape into the containment vessel, which serves as the final barrier.

With the primary containment vessel of unit one still too full of steam, the radical decision was made to flood it with seawater.

Predictions of ultimate load capacity for prestressed concrete containment vessel model with BARC finite element code ULCA.

Tepco said at a news conference in Tokyo that pressure inside the containment vessel of the No. 3 reactor began rising Saturday evening.

High pressure could damage the vessel and result in the leakage of radioactive material into the containment vessel.

The injection of nitrogen would keep the pressure inside the containment vessel from falling and therefore forestall an explosion.

It depends, a total loss of coolant and the majority of the core material ends up at the bottom of the containment vessel?

The injection of nitrogen would keep the pressure inside the containment vessel from falling and keep air from entering.

The spike in measured radiation levels may indicate damage to the nuclear fuel containment vessel.

Actually, Chernobyl didn't USE a containment vessel at all, hence their ENTIRE problem.

A release of pressure from the containment vessel of number 2 reactor appears to be planned.

That means cooling water is not getting to the reactor core, causing a build up of steam inside the containment vessel.

In Japan and the United States, a thick concrete and steel containment vessel surrounds the reactor vessel.

The nuclear core in many modern reactors, including the ones in Japan, is enclosed by a steel containment vessel.

The nuclear core in many newer reactors, including the ones in Japan, is enclosed by a steel containment vessel.
