    摘要: A decay heat removal system for a liquid metal reactor in which a decay heat exchanger (DHX) is installed concentrically with an intermediate heat exchanger (IHX) in the same cylinder which separates the DHX and IHX from the reactor pool fluid, and serves to remove the reactor core decay heat. The cylinder surrounds the IHX and DHX, and has an open top portion protruding out of the level of the fluid in a hot pool, a bottom portion connected to a cold pool and a guide pipe for allowing the passage of the fluid from the hot pool into the IHX. The decay heat removal system can remove decay heat immediately after occurrence of an accident, thereby improving the safety of a nuclear plant.

    摘要: A plate-type nuclear fuel having regularly arranged coarse particles of a gamma-phase U—Mo or U—Mo—X alloy and a fabrication method thereof and, more particularly, to a plate-type nuclear fuel having coarse spherical particles of a stable gamma-phase U—Mo or U—Mo—X alloy arranged regularly on an aluminum cladding in at least one layer and a fabrication method thereof. Operation limit power, high temperature irradiation stability and performance are advantageously improved by preventing excessive reaction between a nuclear fuel and aluminum matrix through minimization of the area of interaction layers between the fuel and aluminum matrix, minimizing pores and swelling by restraining reaction layer formation of an intermetallic compound, and maintaining high thermal conductivity to transfer internal temperature of the nuclear fuel smoothly.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for inhibiting stress corrosion cracking occurring on steam generator tubes in the secondary side of nuclear power plants and an inhibitor therefor. The method comprises supplying lanthanum boride as an inhibitor for stress corrosion cracking into the secondary feed water of the nuclear power plants. The method according to the present invention improves the resistance of stress corrosion cracking ten times or higher than no inhibitor, and five times or higher than the conventional inhibitor. In particular, the method according to the present invention shows a superior inhibiting effect in the lead-contaminated environment such that the complete inhibition of stress corrosion cracking can be achieved. As thus, the method can reduce the unexpected stop of operating nuclear power plants caused by the stress corrosion cracking on steam generator tubes, thereby reducing the cost required for maintaining and repairing the tubes.

    摘要: A spacer grid with hybrid flow-mixing devices for nuclear fuel bundle is made up of an intersection of a plurality of thin straps at right angles to form a plurality of cells for receiving and supporting fuel rods. Each strap is composed of two types of strap units, called a primary strap unit and a secondary strap unit, which are alternately arranged along the strap. The primary strap unit is a strap section having a primary vane set, and a secondary strap unit is a strap section having a secondary vane set. The straps intersect such that, by primary and secondary strap units, each intersection forms a hybrid flow-mixing device around the top of each junction. The primary vane set, consisting of a trapezoidal primary vane stand and two bent primary mixing vanes on both sides, protrudes upwardly from the strap and is primarily for generating cross flow between channels. Meanwhile, the secondary vane set, consisting of a trapezoidal secondary vane stand and two bent primary mixing vanes on both sides, also protrudes upwardly from the strap, but is primarily for swirl flow generation within the channels. The hybrid flow-mixing device induces a complex but effective flow pattern in flow channels for fuel rod cooling.

    摘要: A method for decommissioning a nuclear facility includes: floating the nuclear reactor pressure vessel above the cavity; rotating the reactor pressure vessel so that the upper portion of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel is closer to the bio-protective concrete than the lower portion; mounting the upper portion of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel on the neighboring upper surface of the bio-protective concrete; and cutting and decommissioning the nuclear reactor pressure vessel mounted on the neighboring upper surface.
