vapor suppression [′vā·pər sə‚presh·ən] (nucleonics) A safety system that can be incorporated in the design of structures housing water-cooled nuclear reactors: the space surrounding the reactor is vented into pools of water open to the outside air; if surges of hot vapor are released from the reactor in an accident, their energy is dissipated in the pools of water; gases not condensed are scrubbed clean of radioactive particles by the bubbling. Also known as pressure suppression. How to thank TFD for its existence? Tell a friend about us, add a link to this page, add the site to iGoogle, or visit webmaster's page for free fun content. |
