    摘要: Disclosed is an offshore energy generation system (OEGS) that eliminates greenhouse gas emissions during operation, mitigating earthquake and tsunami impacts, and nuclear meltdown safety. The OEGS comprises a floating facility configured for dynamic positioning to a target site via a system that is communicably coupled to the floating facility. The floating facility is coupled to seawater collection system; steam generation system; electric power generation system that uses at least one of: steam, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion or hydrogen fuel cells for generating electric power; ammonia, freshwater, nitrogen and hydrogen generation systems, cooling water system, electric power, freshwater, and ammonia export systems, multiple offshore cranes, living quarters and helideck; automation, control and safety system for controlling one or more components. The OEGS is effective, affordable and a reliable solution for climate change as it delivers clean energy in the form of electricity, ammonia and/or freshwater.

    摘要: Proposed is a passive condensation tank cooling system of a passive auxiliary feedwater system, the cooling system allowing a passive condensation tank to include an inner wall and an outer wall and a cooling means to be interposed between the inner wall and the outer wall, thereby suppressing the increase in the temperature of the heat exchange water in a condensation process in the passive condensation tank. To this end, proposed is the passive condensation tank cooling system of a passive auxiliary feedwater system, the cooling system including: a passive condensation tank having a water storage space to store heat-exchange water; and a condenser arranged to be immersed in the heat-exchange water in the passive condensation tank, wherein the passive condensation tank includes the outer and inner walls providing the water storage space and a cooling means interposed between the walls for absorbing heat of the heat-exchange water.

    摘要: A nuclear plant includes a nuclear reactor, a containment structure that at least partially defines a containment environment of the nuclear reactor, and a passive containment cooling system that causes coolant fluid to flow downwards from a coolant reservoir to a bottom of a coolant channel coupled to the containment structure and rise through the coolant channel toward the coolant reservoir due to absorbing heat from the nuclear reactor. A check valve assembly, in fluid communication with the coolant reservoir, selectively enables one-way flow of a containment fluid from the containment environment to the coolant reservoir, based on a pressure at an inlet being equal to or greater than a threshold magnitude. A fusible plug, in fluid communication with the coolant reservoir at a bottom vertical depth below the bottom of the coolant reservoir, enables coolant fluid to flow into the containment structure based on at least partially melting.

    摘要: A travelling wave reactor for a space exploration. A reactor core of the travelling wave reactor is dispersed into several modules in a travelling wave direction; a new reactor is sequentially provided with a starting source module and a plurality of new fuel modules at zero burnup; all the modules are coaxially assembled in the travelling wave direction by means of an assembling parts, and each module further includes a heat pipe; the heat pipe in each module positioned at a front part sequentially passes through all the modules positioned at a rear portion thereof and extends out of the module at a rear end; and after a period of time of burn-up, the reactor core of the travelling wave reactor is provided with the starting source module, a spent fuel module, a critical fuel module and the new fuel module sequentially in the travelling wave direction.
