If the probability of bursting of reactor is not zero, then will the double wall design remain intact and not permit the radiation to come out?
16: The designers of Kaiga Plant say the concrete structure housing the reactor is designed to withstand a pressure of 1.2 Kg per square centimetre. I would like to know the maximum pressure in case of nuclear accident. Whether this much pressure is sufficient to stop radiation in case of the worst accident? Reactor building concrete structures are designed to withstand the pressure generated during the worst postulated accidents. This will ensure the building integrity. Further concrete structures have the characteristic of forming fissures on over pressure and reclosing after the pressure is released. This will prevent the building from blowing up. And in addition various safety measures have been built in so that no release of radiation takes place in the environment. Please refer Answer No.6 also.
