    摘要: A method and system for generating and maintaining a solid structure is provided. The system includes a frame composed of an interconnected network of pipes configured for transporting liquid, the frame having a substantially spherical shape, a plurality of nozzles uniformly distributed along the pipes, wherein the plurality of nozzles are configured for dispensing liquid, a repository that holds a liquid composed of water and at least one additive, a refrigeration unit configured for refrigerating the liquid from the repository to at least a freezing temperature, and a pump for pumping the liquid from the refrigeration unit through the pipes and out of the nozzles, wherein the system is configured to dispense the liquid at said freezing temperature so as to freeze upon egress and create a solid structure surrounding the pipes. The system may also return melted liquid from the solid structure to the repository.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a core barrel according to the embodiment includes: welding one end part of a short ring to a lower core support plate; and machining the lower core support plate to which the short ring is welded. The machining of the lower core support plate includes forming a placement surface on which the fuel assembly is to be placed; and forming a fuel alignment pin hole, in which a fuel alignment pin for positioning the fuel assembly is to be inserted. After the machining of the lower core support plate, a main body barrel is welded to the other end part of the short ring, where the main body barrel covers the reactor core including the fuel assembly to be placed on the placement surface.

    摘要: A reactor pressure vessel for a nuclear reactor includes an upper part and a lower part. At least the lower part has first subregions with a lesser wall thickness and second subregions with a greater wall thickness. The lesser wall thickness is selected for a rated operation. The first subregions are formed by recesses in the outer surface of the wall.

    摘要: A vessel comprising a shell of large thickness, for example between 200 and 300 mm, consists of unit components symmetrical in revolution (2a, 2b, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 3a, 3b) and connected together by end-to-end welding. The components are made of a steel containing 2 to 2.50% of chromium, 0.9 to 1.1% of molybdenum and less than 0.15% of carbon. The welding for connecting these unit components is performed by means of an electron beam in a single pass over the entire thickness of the components, without filler metal. the invention applies particularly to the manufacture of a vessel for a pressurized-water nuclear reactor.

    摘要: A real time analysis of nuclear reactor vessel integrity is preformed by monitoring reactor coolant temperature and pressure and fast neutron fluence, and generating therefrom a visual comparison of the reference nil-ductility transition temperature, RT.sub.ndt, required for flaw initiation and the actual RT.sub.ndt through the entire depth of the vessel wall at selected critical locations. When flaw initiation is indicated at any depth, the RT.sub.ndt required for flaw propagation arrest is also generated and displayed. A display can also be generated to provide guidance for optimum performance during heatup and cooldown. Thermocouples located at the reactor core inlet are used in conjunction with the resistance temperature detectors, RTDs, conventionally provided in the cold leg conduits to generate a more accurate measurement of the coolant temperature at the critical locations in the vessel. Under stagnant flow conditions a correlation is applied to the RTD readings to provide the best estimate of coolant temperature at the critical locations.

    摘要: The cylindrical body of a pressure vessel for use as a reaction vessel, is built up from courses of flat circularly arcuate segmental plates, the courses being located with respect to each other by locating means passing through aligning openings in the plates. To facilitate construction the openings in each plate are disposed in a symmetrical pattern or array. The locating means may be pins or preferably sleeves, and prestressing means for holding the courses together may be provided by tie-rods or cables passing through such sleeves and also possibly through openings not taken up by locating means. The floor and/or cover of the pressure vessel may be double-walled, and prestressing means provided within the double walls for tightly securing the floor and/or cover to the inside of the cylindrical wall.
