    摘要: A process for controlling the heating of a thin-walled body according to a predetermined temperature program by means of electrically controllable heaters, comprising: disposing the heaters adjacent one surface of the body such that each heater is in facing relation with a respective zone of the surface;supplying heat-generating power to each heater and monitoring the temperature at each surface zone; and for each zone:deriving (16,18,20), on the basis of the temperature values obtained in the monitoring step, estimated temperature values of the surface at successive time intervals each having a first selected duration;generating (28), on the basis of the estimated temperature values derived in each time interval, representations of the temperature, THSIFUT, which each surface zone will have, based on the level of power presently supplied to each heater, at a future time which is separated from the present time interval by a second selected duration;determining (30) the difference between THSIFUT and the desired temperature, FUTREFTVZL, at the future time which is separated from the present time interval by the second selected duration;providing (52) a representation indicating the power level which sould be supplied to each heater in order to reduce the difference obtained in the determining step; andadjusting the power level supplied to each heater by the supplying step in response to the value of the representation provided in the providing step.

    摘要: A first plurality of water filled shielding tanks is introduced through a nuclear reactor containment building hatch and placed between the stored core internals and the reactor vessel. A support structure for this vertical wall is previously shipped, disassembled, introduced into containment and erected between the reactor vessel and the stored internals. A second plurality of water filled shielding tanks is placed on the containment building operating floor level to cover the stored internals. Once in place, the tanks allow manned activity in the reactor vessel area, such as preparations for annealing. The method includes the steps of: removing the nuclear fuel from the reactor; storing both the upper and lower internals underwater; assembling the support structure and placing same in position in the refueling canal; introducing the vertical and horizontal tanks through the hatch; filling the vertical shielding tanks with water and placing same in the support structure; filling the horizontal shielding tanks with water and placing them above the stored internals and the vertical tanks; draining water from the refueling canal to the level of the reactor vessel flange; performing an operation requiring human intervention such as annealing; flooding the refueling canal to near the operating floor elevation; and decontaminating the tanks and support structure and removing same.
