reSafety Features
Safety Objectives – A two fold strategy:
1. Enhancement of the prevention level of the defense in depth safety concept, particularly to reduce significantly severe accident probability
2. Mitigation of severe accidents consequences up to and including core meltdown accidents

reContainment System
Primary Containment:-pre-stressed reinforced concrete-leak tight metal liner
Secondary Containment:-reinforced concrete-leak tight metal liner
DBA and BDBA Conditions:- Pressure – 0.5 MPa-Temperatire – 210 C
Containment Spray System:- Capacity 4x100%
Hydrogen Mitigation System:-154 Catalytic recombiners- Maximum hydrogen concentration in the long term – 0.56%- Local peak hydrogen concentration in any time in dry air condition – 1.8%

reSevere Accident Management System
Corium retention and cooling System
Capacity 1x100%
Strategy:-prevention of basemat concrete erosion-maintain containment integrity
Measures:-core catcher on basis of a melt retention concept-water cooling from top and bottom-water-supply from external sources provided
Result:-stabilization of melt on defined area-solidification of core melt within 3 to 5 days

Protection against External Hazards
Reactor building, Fuel building, Safety Systems Building, Main Control Room, Remote Shut down Building - protected against the impact by design
The DG Building 1, 2 and 3, 4 - protected against the impact by separation
Reinforced Concrete Protection
Protection by separation
Standard Protection
The APC protection approach shall be fulfilled by sufficient thick dimensioned outer building walls, separated from inner structures and other technical measures like physical separation

reCriteria for Limited Impact
No Emergency Protection Action beyond 800 m No Long Term Action beyond 800 m
Limited economic impact No Delayed Action beyond 3
km
• Release Targets for Design Basis Category 3 and 4 Conditions
– no action beyond 800 m – limited economic impact
• Criteria for Limited Impact for Design Extended Conditions– no Emergency Protection Action /evacuation/ beyond 800 m– no Delayed Action /temporary relocation/ beyond 3 km– no Long Term Action /permanent resettlement/ beyond 800 m– limited economic impact
