【英国《新科学家》周刊1982年1月28日第230页报道】美国科学家马歇尔说,英国的反应堆安全标准要求与美国的不相同。为使英国当局能接受,英国在压水堆的安全设计方面作了一些改进。最重要的改进有两项: (1)为对付失水事故要加强应急堆芯冷却系统; (2)加大反应堆安全壳的直径。 【New Scientist Weekly Bulletin, January 28, 1982, p.230】 American scientist Marshall said that Britain’s requirements for reactor safety standards are different from those in the United States. For the British authorities to accept this, Britain made some improvements in the safety design of pressurized water reactors. Two of the most important improvements are: (1) strengthening the emergency core cooling system to deal with loss of water; and (2) increasing the diameter of the reactor containment.
