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. In the passageways 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: 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: 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 recirculation system for use in pressurized water nuclear reactors to increase the output temperature of the reactor coolant, thereby achieving a significant improvement in plant efficiency without exceeding current core design limits. A portion of the hot outlet coolant is recirculated to the inlets of the peripheral fuel assemblies which operate at relatively low power levels. The outlet temperature from these peripheral fuel assemblies is increased to a temperature above that of the average core outlet. The recirculation system uses external pumps and introduces the hot recirculation coolant to the free space between the core barrel and the core baffle, where it flows downward and inward to the inlets of the peripheral fuel assemblies. In the unlikely event of a loss of coolant accident, the recirculation system flow path through the free space and to the inlets of the fuel assemblies is utilized for the injection of emergency coolant to the lower vessel and core. During emergency coolant injection, the emergency coolant is prevented from bypassing the core through the recirculation system by check valves inserted into the recirculation system piping.

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: 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.
