Safety features of the RRP systems

The maximum removed power by each RRP loop is about 5 to 7 MW according to the operating conditions. This small removed power, whatever the reactor power, makes it possible to test the heat removal system, with the reactor in operation, without significantly disturbing operating conditions. This procedure of test constitutes a significant element with respect to the reliability of these systems.

The RRPp are safety grade chilled water loop and pumps excepted.
