    摘要: An ultrasonic inspection apparatus includes a control device 12 that outputs a pulse signal for making an ultrasonic probe 11A transmit an ultrasonic wave to the ultrasonic probe 11A and that is supplied with a waveform signal obtained by converting the received ultrasonic wave from an ultrasonic probe 11B, and that computes a thickness reduction depth of a pipe 1 between the ultrasonic probe 11A and the ultrasonic probe 11B. The control device 12 computes the thickness reduction depth of the pipe 1 by selectively using a reception time of the ultrasonic wave transmitted from the ultrasonic probe 11A, reflected once by an inner surface 3 of the pipe 1, and received by the ultrasonic probe 11B, and a reception time of the ultrasonic wave transmitted from the ultrasonic probe 11A, reflected twice by the inner surface 3 of the pipe 1, and received by the ultrasonic probe 11B.

    摘要: In view of above problems, an object of the invention is to provide a primary containment vessel venting system having a structure capable of continuously discharging vapor in a primary containment vessel out of the system and continuously reducing pressure of the primary containment vessel without discharging radioactive noble gases to the outside of the containment vessel and without using an enclosing vessel or a power source. In order to achieve the above object, an nuclear power plant of the invention includes a primary containment vessel which includes a reactor pressure vessel, a radioactive substance separation apparatus which is disposed inside the primary containment vessel and through which the radioactive noble gases do not permeate but vapor permeates, a vent pipe which is connected to the radioactive substance separation apparatus, and an exhaust tower which is connected to the vent pipe and discharges a gas, from which a radioactive substance is removed, to the outside.

    摘要: A plant facility apparatus recognition system is provided, which appropriately recognizes a plant facility apparatus even in a plant facility in which a wireless facility and a marker are not able to be installed even when the shape of the plant facility apparatus is different from or has been changed from design data. The plant facility apparatus recognition system that uses a mobile device having a camera to recognize the plant facility apparatus to be subjected to work in the plant facility includes a characteristic length acquirer that acquires information on the pipe as a first characteristic length from an image obtained by causing the camera to image the plant facility apparatus and the pipe existing near the plant facility apparatus, and a characteristic length comparator that compares the first characteristic length with a second characteristic length acquired from the design data and related to the pipe.

    摘要: A chemical decontamination method capable of improving the decontamination efficiency of chemical decontamination of a steam dryer in the RPV is provided. In particular, the decontamination method includes feeding a chemical decontamination aqueous solution into a reactor pressure vessel in which a steam dryer is arranged, and after chemical decontamination of the steam dryer, the water level of the chemical decontamination aqueous solution existing in the reactor pressure vessel is lowered to a first water level below the lower end of the steam dryer.
