reactor pressure vessel Explanation: Not sure about this, but it could mean the RPV, where "pile [atomique]" is the old term for a nuclear reactor, and "nef" means a vessel. I am hesitant though, because you wouldn't exactly describe this as a "peripheral" structure... |

reactor hall (or reactor building) Explanation: I think it is simply referring to the building in which the reactor is located. See the attached photo. The reactor itself isn't exposed to the elements, but is housed in a large building. http://www.power-technology.com/projects/huntersonnuclear/hu... |

Reference: Document mentioning 'nef pile' Reference information: In this IAEA document, on document page 99 (file page 113) they refer to « l'immense volume d'une enceinte comme le nef pile de G2 » , tedning to support the suggestion it is indeed tha large space above the reactor: http://www.iaea.org/inis/collection/NCLCollectionStore/_Publ... If you look at pictures of "reactor hall", you can see the vast space I am talking about; sadly, images of "nef pile" or "salle réacteur" are far fewer to be found, but both terms do yield a sprinkling of pictures, making me suspect they are synonyms. |
