What are RCCM waters ?

RCCM waters are waters used in the systems and equipment of nuclear facilities for cooling, heat transfer or moderation of nuclear reactions. These waters must comply with RCCM standards (Rules for the Design and Construction of Mechanical Equipment for Nuclear Facilities) and are specifically subject to strict quality and purity criteria to ensure the safety, performance and durability of nuclear facilities.

RCCM requirements ?

RCCM requirements ensure that water is free from contaminants or corrosive substances that could damage mechanical systems or compromise their operation. This includes monitoring parameters such as chemical composition, pH, conductivity and the presence of specific substances (such as chlorides and sulphates).

RCCM A, B and C water grades

RCCM water grades A, B and C refer to specific levels of quality and purity of water used in nuclear facilities, depending on their application and proximity to critical areas of the system. Each grade specifies treatment and control requirements to guarantee the safety and durability of the equipment concerned.

Grade A: This is the highest level of purity. Grade A water is used in very sensitive areas where contamination or corrosion could have a major impact on system safety. This grade of water is subject to the strictest standards in terms of chemical composition and cleanliness. This water must be free of particles, micro-organisms and corrosive substances, and have parameters such as pH and conductivity rigorously controlled.

Grade B: Grade B represents a high level of quality, but is slightly less stringent than Grade A. Grade B water is used in systems or equipment where the risk of contamination or degradation is lower than in areas treated with Grade A water, but where quality criteria are still essential to prevent corrosion and the appearance of undesirable deposits.

Grade C: This is the least stringent of the three grades. Grade C water is used in applications where the risk of corrosion or contamination is lower. Quality controls are less stringent than for grades A and B, but still comply with RCCM standards to ensure the safety of installations. This grade is generally sufficient for auxiliary systems or areas where sensitivity to contaminants is less critical.
