Containment Sampling System

A0637

In the event of a severe accident, sampling of the containment atmosphere or sump water provides essential information for assessing the progress of the accident and evaluating the effectiveness of countermeasures. Containment sampling systems help to improve contingency planning and coordination of emergency response.

Framatome’s containment sampling systems are capable of in-situ sampling from various sources inside the containment, i.e., the containment atmosphere, fuel pool and sump water. They also allow sample dilution and provide an interface for sample extraction from a sampling box installed outside the containment for further analysis.
