Passive nuclear safety

Passive nuclear safety is a design approach for safety features, implemented in a nuclear reactor, that does not require any active intervention on the part of the operator or electrical/electronic feedback in order to bring the reactor to a safe shutdown state, in the event of a particular type of emergency (usually overheating resulting from a loss of coolant or loss of coolant flow).

Nuclear reactor safety system

The three primary objectives of nuclear reactor safety systems as defined by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission are to shut down the reactor, maintain it in a shutdown condition and prevent the release of radioactive material. A reactor protection system is designed to immediately terminate the nuclear reaction. By breaking the nuclear chain reaction, the source of heat is eliminated. Other systems can then be used to remove decay heat from the core. All nuclear plants have some form of reactor protection system.

Machine

right|thumb|Machine à rouler les cigarettes de James Albert Bonsack (1880) Une machine est un produit fini mécanique capable d'utiliser une source d'énergie communément disponible pour effectuer par elle-même, sous la conduite ou non d'un opérateur, une ou plusieurs tâches spécifiques, en exerçant un travail mécanique sur un outil, la charge à déplacer ou la matière à façonner. Une machine peut être fixe (machine-outil, machine à laver, etc.) ou mobile (locomotive, tondeuse à gazon, machine à écrire, etc.).
