Tech/Engineering - Nuclear Eng/Sci | | French term or phrase: Parc Tampon | A nuclear company provides the following definition of "Parc Tampon":
Le Parc Tampon est une zone destinée à recevoir les conteneurs d’UF6 cristallisé.
Is this a Buffer Zone? I thought the Buffer zone was supposed to be an empty area between the nuclear plant and the rest of civilization...
Thanks! |
| | | Reserve Stock (Zone) | Explanation:
Explanation:
I believe that "parc" here can refer both to the physical area in which the UF6 is stored and to this and other reserve products.
"The assurance of nuclear fuel supply could mean assurance of access to uranium enrichment services or to uranium enrichment and fuel fabrication services, or it could mean access to a stock of material, uranium as uranium hexafluoride (UF6) or uranium oxide powder (U3O8). Creating a stock of fabricated fuel is less feasible because of the reactor-specific features and characteristics of fuel and fuel elements. Nuclear fuel is highly specialized, and each nuclear power station reactor needs nuclear fuel with inherent specific characteristics of this reactor. International fuel supply centers are somewhat different from such mechanisms as virtual or real fuel banks. "

(The above is a reference for the sense of what I think is meant, rather than the exact phrase I am suggesting as a translation).
