3.1.1 Make-up water

Demineralized water is prepared in large quantities at each nuclear power plant to fill circuits and tanks, or to make up for voluntary or involuntary losses. This water must be of very high chemical purity to prevent circuit corrosion and minimize radiation activation.

Voluntary losses concern, for example, the partial renewal of water in a circuit in order to lower the concentration of certain pollutants that...
