摘要: A hydro-ball in-core instrumentation system employs detector strings each comprising a wire having radiation sensitive balls affixed diametrically at spaced positions therealong and opposite tip ends of which are transportable by fluid drag through interior passageways through which primary coolant is caused to flow selectively in first and second opposite directions for transporting the detector strings from stored positions in an exterior chamber to inserted positions within the instrumentation thimbles of the fuel rod assemblies of a pressure vessel, and for return. The coolant pressure within the detector passageways is the same as that within the vessel; face contact, disconnectable joints between sections of the interior passageways within the vessel facilitate assembly and disassembly of the vessel for refueling and routine maintenance operations. The detector strings may pass through a very short bend radius thereby minimizing space requirements for the connections of the instrumentation system to the vessel and concomitantly the vessel containment structure. Improved radiation mapping and a significant reduction in potential exposure of personnel to radiation are provided. Both top head and bottom head penetration embodiments are disclosed.

摘要: A method of providing a nuclear steam supply system that is constructed to include a barge or flotation base as an integrated portion thereof. The system is tested for operability and safety at the factory and then towed along navigable coastal or inland waterways, or overseas to foreign locations, to a prepared foundation site at its point of use. The overall unit is so constructed and arranged as to permit the removal of top and side portions to permit passage under low bridges and through narrow locks without requiring disassembly of safety class piping and wiring. The method further provides for a complete nuclear power plant constructed on multiple barges at a separate factory site in parallel with plant site preparation, i.e., in estuaries or caves.

摘要: Disclosed is a reactor internals hold down spring and upper head region cooling passage. The hold down spring utilizes a plurality of stacks of Belleville spring washers to provide spring load and deflection capability to hold down the reactor vessel internals. Each spring assembly includes a generally leak tight means for passing an adjustable coolant flow to the upper reactor vessel head region in order to maintain that region at inlet coolant temperature. The spring assemblies are angularly spaced about a core barrel support flange to cooperate with coolant flow passage formed therein.

摘要: A fuel assembly for a pressurized water nuclear reactor incorporating fluid moderator spectral shift control means. During the first part of the fuel cycle when there is excess reactivity, neutron moderation may be decreased by replacing a portion of the water within the core with a less effective moderator such as heavy water. During the life of the fuel, the heavy water is gradually replaced with regular water. The fuel assembly incorporates the necessary means and apparatus to effectuate such control.

摘要: Apparatus comprising a seal connector is disclosed for sealingly connecting flow channels in the core support plate with flow channels in fuel assemblies for use in a spectral shift pressurized water nuclear reactor. Spectral shift is obtained by displacing a portion of the light water in the core with deuterium oxide or a combination of deuterium oxide and light water or various gases such as helium during the initial state of reactor operation to harden the nuclear spectrum and thereby reduce excess reactivity and increase the production of fissile materials. The seal connectors provide a sealed flow channel for introducing the deuterium oxide into the core during the early stages of reactor operation and for reintroducing the light water into the core during the later stages of reactor operation.

摘要: A pressurized nuclear water reactor has a substantially cylindrical flow liner with a cylindrical wall section and bottom and an open top. A barrel forms a riser chamber that contains the core in the flow liner. A pressure vessel contains the cylindrical flow liner to form a second annular chamber therebetween that contains a supplementary liquid coolant, with insulation means to provide a major portion of the supplementary liquid coolant at a first temperature and a minor portion thereof at a second higher temperature. Upon depressurization in the vessel, fluid communication means enable injection of supplementary liquid coolant from the second annular chamber into the core upon flashing of a minor portion to vapor. A further pool of water outside the pressure vessel, and insulation on the wall, maintain the desired temperature in the supplementary liquid coolant supply. Injection or removal of borated solution, as a chemistry control solution, into or from the supplementary liquid coolant is provided. A passive safety system incorporates the reactor with means for circulating water solely by natural convection from the hot leg to the cold leg of the primary coolant system and has heat exchange means associated therewith.

摘要: A core cooling system is disclosed for a nuclear reactor of the type utilizing a liquid coolant with a cover gas above free surfaces of the coolant. The disclosed system provides for a large inventory of reactor coolant and a balanced low pressure cover gas arrangement. A flow restricting device disposed within a reactor vessel achieves a pressure of the cover gas in the reactor vessel lower than the pressure of the reactor coolant in the vessel. The low gas pressure is maintained over all free surfaces of the coolant in the cooling system including a coolant reservoir tank. Reactor coolant stored in the reservoir tank allows for the large reactor coolant inventory provided by this invention.
