Drywell: The containment structure enclosing the vessel and recirculation system of a boiling-water reactor. The drywell provides both a pressure suppression system and a fission product barrier under accident conditions. For related information, see Boiling-Water Reactors.

  • I contenimenti Mark-I e Mark-II sono realizzati da un vero e proprio contenimento primario a tenuta (o Primary Containment Vessel, PCV), composto da un <b>pozzo secco</b> (o drywell) ed un pozzo umido (o wetwell), e da un edificio secondario o reattore (R
