Abstract:Auxiliary systems supporting pressurized water reactors (PWR) within commercial nuclear power plants are enclosed within a special ventilation (SV) zone that is isolated post-accident. Air within the SV zone is recirculated through carbon adsorbers, and discharged at a rate equal to the SV zone air infiltration rate. The SV zone relies on safety-related fan coil units (FCUs) to remove heat since air infiltration is kept to a minimum in order to reduce the spread of contamination.
