    摘要: A nuclear reactor core is disposed in a pressure vessel along with upper internals disposed in the pressure vessel above the reactor core. The upper internals include internal control rod drive mechanisms (CRDMs) mounted on a suspended support assembly. A hollow cylindrical central riser is disposed in the pressure vessel above the nuclear reactor core. A hollow cylindrical section is disposed in the pressure vessel below the hollow cylindrical central riser and surrounding the nuclear reactor core. A riser transition element connects with the hollow cylindrical central riser and the hollow cylindrical section to form a continuous hollow cylindrical flow separator. The suspended support assembly of the upper internals is suspended from the riser transition element. The pressure vessel may comprise upper and lower vessel sections connected by a mid-flange, with the riser transition element welded to the mid-flange by gussets extending outward and upward from the riser transition element to the mid-flange.

    摘要: A method of removing the upper internals assembly from a nuclear reactor pressure vessel for refueling that simultaneously disconnects two or more of the in-core instrument thimble assemblies from the reactor vessel penetrations through which their signal cables extend. The signal cables are connected to the penetrations with an electrical connector that supports the two or more in-core instrumentation thimble assembly signal leads. Before the electrical connector is disconnected, water in the vessel is lowered below the connection so that the process is performed in a dry environment.

    摘要: Apparatus for replacing a support pin for a control rod cluster guide tube. The support pin can fix the guide tube to a core plate. The apparatus can be used submerged in water. A movement device can hold and move the guide tube along a frame. A retrieval manipulator can remove an old support pin from the guide tube. A supply manipulator can provide a new support pin to the guide tube. A rotating means imparts rotation for loosening a nut from an old support pin, and for tightening a nut to a new support pin. A control device calculates variation in distance between the nut and the support pin on the basis of the rotation. The control device controls movement of the guide tube along the frame.

    摘要: The inventive tool is designed to ensure proper plant operation position of the core shroud head bolt assemblies of a boiling water nuclear reactor. The tool exerts an upward pulling force on stuck retainers to return them to the locking position around the nut. The tool includes a frame, an engagement member, and a collar. The engagement member is lowered toward and end of the bolt until it comes into contact therewith. Further movement of the engagement member causes the frame and collar to move upward, lifting the retainer and extending the spring.

    摘要: This repair device includes a casing, a slide shaft slidably arranged with respect to the casing, a turn table rotatably arranged with respect to the slide shaft, and a cutting mechanism installed on the turn table and including cutting tools. The turn table is rotationally displaced while the slide shaft slides in an axial direction, so that the cutting tools helically turn to cut an inner periphery of a nozzle. The cutting mechanism includes a cutting-tool switching unit that switches the cutting tools.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for securely fastening a pipe collar or a bracket to a riser pipe of a boiling water reactor (BWR) jet pump assembly. A pipe plug assembly includes an angled pipe plug that acts as a wedge to expand a bushing assembly as the pipe plug is drawn into the overall pipe plug assembly. Expansion of the bushing assembly allows a tight tolerance to exist between an outer diameter of the pipe plug and an inner diameter of the collar/bracket and riser pipe. Expansion of the bushing assembly allows a straight hole to be match drilled into the collar/bracket and riser pipe, thereby avoiding a more complicated tapered hole to be drilled into the collar/bracket and riser pipe. An ensuing tight fit between the pipe plug assembly, the collar/bracket and the riser pipe mitigates vibration of components and minimizes leakage to acceptable levels for use in the flooded environment of the annulus region where the jet pump assembly exists in the BWR.
