摘要: A nuclear reactor is designed to couple the load path of control elements with the reactor core, thus reducing opportunity for differential movement between the control elements and the reactor core. A core barrel can be fabricated in a manufacturing facility to include the reactor core, control element supports, and control element drive system. The core barrel can be mounted to a reactor vessel head. Movement, such as through seismic forces, transmits an equal direction and magnitude to the control elements and the reactor core, thus inhibiting the opportunity for differential movement.

摘要: A nuclear reactor cooling system comprises a containment area, an In-Containment Refueling Water Storage Tank (IRWST), and a discharge pipe. The containment area is formed to enclose a reactor coolant system. The IRWST is disposed outside the containment area. The discharge pipe discharges steam from the containment area to refueling water in the IRWST when an accident occurs. A steam intake pipe has one end in fluid connection with an upper space of the IRWST, and another end in fluid connection with a radioactive substance reduction tank which stores cooling water. The steam intake pipe allows steam to flow from the upper space of the IRWST into the cooling water in the reduction tank.

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: The present invention relates to a prevention device for loss of coolant accident (LOCA) and a nuclear reactor having the same. The prevention device for LOCA includes a nozzle portion integrally formed in a reactor vessel and having a communication hole communicating with the inside of the reactor vessel, a nozzle finishing portion assembled to the nozzle portion and an injection line for injecting a fluid to the inside of the reactor vessel respectively on both sides thereof in a communicating manner, and a check valve mounting portion installed to be embedded inside the nozzle portion and having at least one check valve opened by flow such that the fluid is injected into the reactor vessel, wherein the check valve blocks outflow of a reactor coolant from the reactor vessel in case of failure of the injection line.

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.
