A wedge locking support apparatus that applies a downward preload force to a jet pump inlet mixer gravity wedge and is remotely installable without disassembly of the jet pumps is described. The downward force supplied by the wedge locking support apparatus supplements the force supplied by the weight of the gravity wedge and improves the lateral support provided to the inlet mixer by the gravity wedge. The wedge locking support apparatus includes an upper leaf spring assembly configured to engage the gravity wedge bracket, a lower leaf spring assembly slidably coupled to the upper leaf spring assembly and configured to engage the top of the wedge, and a jack bolt coupled to the upper and lower assemblies.

An underwater laser processing system has a laser torch; a laser torch driving mechanism for changing a laser emission position of the laser torch; and a chamber with one end opened to an external environment, which contains the laser torch; wherein a partitioning wall for preventing permeation of water is provided between a free end of the chamber and the laser torch. The system is used for detecting a sensitized portion and repairing it at one time using a sensitization detecting arrangement. Moreover, it is used for forming an alloying layer by melting a sprayed coating film, and for forming a new surface layer by emitting a laser beam through a solution containing a metal component.

A coolant pipe blocking device for use in a nuclear power plant is provided to temporarily choke up a coolant inlet pipe to thereby inhibit fluid communication between a reactor and a steam generator, the steam generator having a coolant chamber in communication with the reactor via the coolant inlet pipe and a manway providing access to the coolant chamber. The pipe blocking device includes a plurality of hub segments(42-48) arranged along a longitudinal axis substantially with a uniform spacing to one another and an elongated, flexible, support rod(50) extending in a coaxial relationship with the longitudinal axis for interconnecting and keeping spaced apart the hub segments. A plurality of bladders(52-60) are arranged in an end-to-end relationship with respect to one another and attached to the hub segments to define a series of hermetically sealed air chambers. Each of the bladders is so sized as to, when deflated, move freely into and out of the coolant inlet pipe via the manway and, when inflated, to make a fluid-tight contact with an inner surface of the coolant inlet pipe. In addition, the pile blocking device has a plurality of air hoses(64-68) corresponding to the bladders and projecting respectively into the air chambers to allow air to be evacuated out of and admitted into the air chambers therethrough.

A method of replacing a boiling water reactor core shroud includes the steps of removing at least a portion of the existing core shroud from supporting structure in the reactor vessel, lowering a replacement shroud into the reactor vessel, positioning the replacement shroud on the supporting structure such that a bottom portion of the replacement shroud mates cooperatively with the supporting structure to limit lateral movement of the replacement shroud relative to the reactor vessel, and holding the replacement shroud assembly in place by applying axially compressive forces to the shroud in the direction of the supporting structure. If the existing core shroud is secured by welds, a parting cut is made to remove the shroud and the replacement shroud is held in place by securing a plurality of tie rods between sites on the replacement shroud and the supporting structure at a respective plurality of angularly spaced locations about the shroud periphery. Existing safe end assemblies welded to core spray supply piping in the reactor vessel are removed and replaced with new safe end assemblies carrying components which mechanically couple with core spray supply piping carried by the replacement core shroud.

Methods and apparatus for securing a tie rod to a shroud support structure are described. One embodiment of the apparatus is a toggle bolt assembly including a toggle bolt body having an upper threaded portion and a lower toggle engaging portion. A toggle is rotatably secured to the toggle bolt body at the lower toggle engaging portion. A crimp nut including a threaded nut portion and a crimp collar is threadedly secured to the upper threaded portion of the toggle bolt body. Such toggle bolt assembly also includes a sleeve sized to have at least a portion of the toggle bolt body and the toggle located therein. The sleeve has a toggle opening so that the toggle can rotate from a first position in which the toggle is substantially located within the sleeve to a second position in which surface engaging portions of the toggle extend beyond the sleeve. A lower portion of the sleeve has a toggle rotation surface to facilitate rotation of the toggle.

An apparatus preventive maintenance having a driving mechanism capable of driving a jet nozzle 24 to cause it to travel upward-and-downward, to rotate and to swing is settled on the top of a housing in the bottom portion of a reactor pressure vessel and on a hole for a fuel support piece, water pumped by a high pressure pump is spouted from a jet nozzle, and cavitation bubbles generated during the spouting are supplied to the positions to be treated for preventive maintenance, such as housings in the bottom portion of the reactor pressure vessel. Therewith, the residual tensile stress in the position to be treated is improved in a releasing direction by the energy generated by the collapsing of the cavitation bubbles.

A method of performing thermal working to metal material containing helium, which comprises the steps of previously feeding current through a thermally working portion of the metal material containing helium to thereby reduce a helium content in the portion without melting the portion and then heating and melting the portion to improve the defects of the metal structure of the metal material containing helium. As a result, the improvement and removal of defects of the metal structure can be achieved by reducing a helium content in the thermally working portion of the metal material.

In a pressure vessel of a nuclear reactor containing a core assembly enclosed within a core shroud, the shroud spaced radially inwardly of a side wall of the pressure vessel, and an annular pump deck welded in a place in an annular radial space between the core shroud and the side wall of the pressure vessel. The shroud provided with a radially outwardly extending flange seated on and removably secured to the pump deck. Wedge elements are interposed between flange portions and the side wall.
摘要:
A method and an apparatus for repairing a shroud in which one or more shroud girth seam welds have experienced SCC. The method involves the placement of a plurality of brackets around the outer circumference of the shroud at a plurality of azimuthal positions. Each bracket has circular holes for receiving respective tapered pin assemblies. Corresponding circular holes are machined in the shroud wall at positions which will align with the holes in the bracket. Each tapered pin assembly is inserted and then manipulated remotely from outside the shroud. Each tapered pin assembly consists of three types of parts: a threaded tapered pin, a slotted sleeve with a tapered bore, and a threaded nut. When fully installed, the tapered pin is encased by the sleeve. As the tapered pin is tensioned, the sleeve exerts a radially outwardly directed contact pressure on the cylindrical surface of the aligned circular holes respectively formed in the bracket and shroud.

An electrolyte is circulated between the surface to be machined, raised to an anode potential, and a tool electrode (9') raised to a cathode potential. The electrolyte contains lithium nitrate as a unique active product with a concentration of between 20 g/l and 2350 g/l and preferably between 50 g/l and 250 g/l. The process can be applied to the machining of the surface of any metallic component and in particular to the machining of the internal surface of tubular components (5) such as penetrations in the vessel bottom or closure head of a nuclear reactor; in this case the electrochemical machining cell consists of a cylindrical tool electrode (9') placed inside the component to be machined.
