    摘要: An automated method for maintaining pressure within a nuclear power plant primary loop during either startup or shutdown, the method comprises the steps of partially filling a portion of a pressurizer vessel, in fluid communication with the primary loop, with a liquid for maintaining pressure in the primary loop; circulating a primary coolant through the primary loop; automatically injecting an inert gas by a first automated device, operatively connected to the pressurizer, into the pressurizer vessel when the pressure in the pressurizer vessel is less than a first predetermined pressure; and automatically venting the gas by a second automated device, operatively connected to the pressurizer, from the pressurizer vessel when the pressure in the pressurizer vessel is greater than a second predetermined pressure.

    摘要: A chemical decontamination clean-up system for use on-line in a nuclear reactor primary system includes a pump arrangement within the nuclear reactor primary system for pumping primary system fluids to a cleaning system located directly downstream from the pump assembly. The cleaning system includes a plurality of first demineralizer banks arranged in a predetermined flow pattern for receiving the primary system fluids. Each of the first demineralizer banks comprises at least two individual, resin-filled demineralizers arranged in parallel wherein primary system fluids are demineralized. Each of the demineralizer banks includes valving for selectively directing the primary system fluids from the pump arrangement to selected demineralizer banks in the plurality of the first demineralizer banks. A second demineralizer bank receives the primary system fluids from the plurality of first demineralizer banks. The second demineralizer bank includes at least two individual, resin-filled demineralizers arranged in parallel wherein primary system fluids are "finish" demineralized. A return system receives the primary system fluids from the second demineralizer bank and directs the fluids back to the nuclear reactor primary system. The return system includes at least one trap for receiving the primary system fluids from the second demineralizer bank and operable to remove resin suspended in the primary system fluids, and at least one filter downstream from the trap for removing solids suspended in the primary system fluids prior to the return of the fluids to the nuclear reactor primary system.

    摘要: In a method of decontaminating a primary loop of a pressurized water reactor, including a steam generator, reactor coolant pump and hot and cold legs in the loop, the primary loop is isolated from a nuclear reactor vessel by closing hot leg and cold leg loop stop valves. Decontamination process water is circulated from one side of the steam generator channel head to the other side of the channel head via a bypass pipe extending between the cold leg and the hot leg without bypassing the water through steam generator tubes extending between the sides of the channel head. The level of the decontamination water in the steam generator is maintained at two to three feet in the tubes.

    摘要: A unique and optimal method for assessing the feasibility of employing chemical decontamination processes to remove crud from nuclear reactor primary systems without adversely affecting the integrity of the system components or piping during further reactor operation is disclosed. Materials used to construct such components and piping are exposed to several cycles of simulated decontamination processing with a test loop constructed to simulate a range of full system decontamination process conditions. The material specimens are then removed and tested to assure that the particular decontamination processing system has no adverse effects on the materials used.

    摘要: An alkaline-permanganate process for chemically decontaminating oxidized metal surfaces wetted by primary water circulating in cooling loops of nuclear reactors maintains permanganate-containing primary water at a temperature of about 90.degree. C. and at a pH of 9-12 to oxidize the wetted surfaces. Oxalic acid is then added to the water and the oxalic acid-containing primary water is maintained at a temperature of at least about 90.degree. C. and at a pH of about 5-7 while it is circulated to destroy the permanganate ions and manganese dioxide.
