Descrição
Resumo:CAREM-25 is an argentine SMR development which involves technical-engineering solutions and several innovative design features resulting in a high economic competitiveness and safety.CAREM-25 is an integral type PWR based on indirect steam cycle withdistinctive design characteristics such as: integrated self-pressurized natural circulation primary cooling system, in-vessel hydraulic control rod drive mechanisms and safety systems relying on passive features.After years of development, the CAREM-25 Project reached such a maturity level that the Argentine government decided on the construction of CAREM-25 prototype.
