Your plant can benefi t from AREVA’s proven Filtered
Containment Venting System (FCVS). Its compact and
multi-stage design enables a convenient retrofit into
your existing plant.
The possible challenge: A severe accident at your plant could result in pressure build up inside containment that causes leakage or even containment failure.
The proven solution: Your plant can benefit from AREVA’s Filtered Containment Venting System (FCVS). FCVS is a field-proven solution you can implement with confidence to prevent loss of containment integrity and minimize long-term land contamination. Its compact and modular design enables a convenient retrofit into your existing plant. AREVA can provide technology NOW to prevent uncontrolled fission product releases in the event of a
severe accident. |
