摘要:
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a strainer system for use in a nuclear sump. The strainer system of the present invention includes at least one primary strainer module which defines a primary strainer/filter surface. In the strainer system, the primary strainer surface of the primary strainer module has a debris interceptor which is cooperatively engaged thereto, and may be outfitted with one or more pressure released or activated membranes. In a loss of coolant accident, the debris interceptor, alone or in combination with the pressure activated membrane(s), is adapted to reduce the differential pressure experienced across the strainer system in nuclear power plants with medium to high fiber loads.

A particulate removal apparatus and method are used to capture and remove particulates from nuclear reactor core coolant during normal operation. Bottom nozzle, particulate removal apparatus and top nozzle structures form an assembly sized to be installed in place of a nuclear fuel assembly. The particulate removal achieved reduces the inventory of corrosion product deposits, foreign objects and other particulates in the reactor coolant system. This in turn reduces activation or deposition of particulates on fuel cladding, with a corresponding improvement in fuel reliability and reduction in ex-core radiation fields.

A method of accurately determining and quantifying the presence and concentration of various regulated radionuclides present in the filter material used to remove contaminants from the cooling water of a nuclear reactor. Multiple samples of the reactor cooling water are taken and the presence and concentration of directly measurable fission produced radionuclides and their related isotopes are determined. The release rate of radioactivity from the reactor as a function of the removal rate of the filter material is determined at equilibrium. The presence and the concentration of difficult to detect fission produced regulated isotopes as a function of release rates of the directly measurable fission produced isotopes are then calculated. The total concentration of activation produced regulated isotopes is based on measured surrogate isotopes. A running total of the concentration of the directly and difficult to detect fission produced regulated isotopes and of the activation produced regulated isotopes accumulated in the filter material is calculated and retained over a defined period of time. The contribution of any regulated radionuclides from secondary sources such as a spent fuel pool can also be measured and added to the total of the fission and activation produced radionuclides in the filter material.

A radiation exposure reduction method includes the steps of: injecting iron into a coolant which flows from the reactor cooling system to the reactor core in a nuclear power plant; and ferritizing and fixing radionuclides or parent nuclides thereof, which are contained in the coolant, on the surface of a reactor core structure, wherein an iron citrate which is soluble organic iron, or iron oxalate or iron fumarate which has a particle diameter of 3 μm or less, is used as the iron to be injected into the coolant.

摘要:
A formic acid aqueous solution that contains Fe (II) ions is produced by dissolving metal iron in a formic acid aqueous solution. Nitrogen is supplied from a nitrogen supply device to a chemical liquid tank and then discharged from a discharge line to reduce the dissolved oxygen concentration in the aqueous solution. The chemical liquid tank is filled with the formic acid aqueous solution sealed with nitrogen, and is transferred from a factory to a nuclear reactor building designated as radiation-controlled areas. Inside the nuclear reactor building, the chemical liquid tank is installed in a film deposition apparatus connected to a reactor water recirculation pipeline. The formic acid aqueous is supplied from the chemical liquid tank to the inside of the reactor water recirculation pipeline, and then a ferrite film is formed on the inner surface of the reactor water recirculation pipeline.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for suppressing adhesion of a radioactive substance, capable of suppressing adhesion of the radioactive substance onto the surface of a metallic material forming a structural member in a nuclear plant. On the surface of the metallic material forming the structural member in a nuclear power generation plant, e.g., a surface 32A of a pipe 32, an adhesion-suppressing substance 34 containing titanium oxide as a titanium compound is disposed, and a part on which the adhesion-suppressing substance 34 has been formed, is held at 80° C. or higher. The adhesion-suppressing substance 34 is formed on the surface 32A of the pipe 32 by spraying a solution or a suspension liquid of the substance.
