Improved CANDU 600 Designability

Abstract

The layout of the CANDU 600 nuclear generating station has been improved so that the Designability has been enhanced, i.e. the layout provides more freedom in space for the design of separate systems and thus requires less coordination and interference in the design and construction of such systems. Examples are given of the design of the main steam lines, the main control room cabling, power cabling to the motor control centres, the NSP/BOP interface and reactor building penetrations.
