Abstract

Nuclear power is a powerful carbon-free energy source that balances enormous potential with widespread public fear. Fear of radioactive leakage, a catastrophic catastrophe that might have long-lasting effects on the environs and human health, is at the core of this anxiety. The future of nuclear energy depends on finding a solution to this issue, and at the heart of that debate is the idea of primary containment, a technological marvel intended to serve as the last line of defense against a meltdown. The foundation of nuclear reactor safety is the multi-layered “defense-in- depth” concept, which aims to stop the discharge of radioactive fission products by constructing a number of separate barriers. The outermost and strongest of these physical barriers is the primary containment vessel, which serves as the vital last line of defense against both severe accident scenarios and design-basis accidents (DBAs). By containing radioactive materials and reducing the effects of internal events, primary containment plays a vital role in guaranteeing the safe operation of nuclear power plants. This page describes its design principles, operating functions, and essential importance. Primary containment is an example of the strict engineering and steadfast dedication to public safety that support the nuclear industry, from controlling internal pressures and temperatures to offering radiation shielding.
