| 1. | Decay heat is a major risk factor in LWR safety record.
|
| 2. | The spent fuel is cooled in special pools where the residual decay heat is removed.
|
| 3. | It is this decay heat that sets the requirements for cooling of a reactor after shutdown.
|
| 4. | The reactor also has decay heat removal systems consisting of four independent circuits of 8MWt capacity each.
|
| 5. | As of May 30, 2011, the removal of decay heat is still a cause for concern.
|
| 6. | To remove decay heat, the water cooling system was kept operating, leaking contaminated coolant to the floor.
|
| 7. | In the past, the geothermal release of decay heat, emitted from the decay of the isotopes moderator.
|
| 8. | This heat is known as decay heat, and there is really nothing one can do to avoid it.
|
| 9. | The decay heats the elements enough to built-- Stone 12 : 51, 13 December 2006 ( UTC)
|
| 10. | The 50 curies of polonium generated about 0.1 watts of decay heat, noticeably warming the small sphere.
