Severe accident is the accident condition more severe than a design basis accident involving significant core degradation

ROSATOM ACCIDENT MANAGEMENT IS TAKING A SET OF ACTIONS DURING THE EVOLUTION OF A BEYOND DESIGN BASIS ACCIDENT • Shutdown the reactor by safety and control rods or soluble poison in case of multiple PREVENT rods failure ESCALATION • Remove decay heat from the reactor core by residual heat removal system • Compensate primary circuit coolant leakage by safety injection system in case of LOCA

• Keep molten corium within the reactor vessel thick wall MITIGATE • Cool down the reactor vessel with the water filled caisson under the reactor CONSEQUENCES • Localize all water and gases within the hermetically sealed envelope around the reactor vessel

• Remove the explosive hydrogen by passive autocatalytic recombiners LONG TERM • Cool down the space within the hermetically sealed envelope by containment cooling STABILITY system • Protect the envelope from destruction by overpressure relief valve
