Specific embodiment
Nuclear electricity facility is usually specific electrical power output and designs, and it sets nuclear reactor and coherent radiation limits And emergency core cooling system(ECCS), the size of one or more power generation turbines etc. and further feature.Reactor is located at envelope Close in building/containment building, crucial ECCS part and reactor supporting system(I.e. spentnuclear fuel, radwaste)It is located at Containment interior of building or against containment building, therefore forms " nuclear island ".Including turbine, condenser, distrbution network (I.e. " switchyard ")In interior remaining part(I.e. " balance of plant ")Near nuclear island positioning.For producing the turbine of electric power The steam drive that machine is produced by nuclear island, and be contained in the turbine building of nuclear island.This makes to extend to turbine builds The length of the steam pipe line building thing and the water-supply line that extends to nuclear island is the shortest, therefore make instantaneous heat loss, pipeline condensation and Parasitic power loss in link(I.e. pump)Minimum, and enable nuclear island and turbine building to constitute the list for security purpose Individual continuous protection zone.Based on various factors select facility place, such as geographically near power consumer, capital construction Hold, the availability of shock resistance, cooling water etc..
Facilities design also answers Bindery security, especially for " visual plant ", NRC(NRC)To be " important Equipment " is defined as that " its fault, damage or release can directly or indirectly jeopardize appointing of publilc health and safety by exposure to radiation What equipment, system, device or material ".May require that after these faults, damage or release for protecting publilc health and safety Equipment or system are considered as important.”10C.F.R.§73.2.All visual plants must be positioned in important area, important area Domain must be positioned in protection zone again.10C.F.R.§73.55(e)(9).Protection zone is by Security Personnel's routine patrols and to be subject to The restriction access region of physical barriers protection.Referring to 10C.F.R. § 73.55 (e) (8).Protection zone is again by outdoor area Isolation area is around outdoor area size is set as observing the activity in isolation area and protection zone in the clear, and with automatically (And record)Invasion-detecting sensor and siren monitor.Beyond the U.S., jurisdiction generally by similar security regulations or refers to South is managing.
Generally, nuclear electricity facility is built into compact layout, turbine building and against nuclear island form continuous guarantor The core in shield region.In some facility layouts, the other parts of the balance of plant of such as switchyard and/or condenser It is also included within protection zone.In order to adapt to the eminence structure of the roof installation cooler being such as used for turbine building, Appropriate location near the border of protection zone set up guard tower with guarantee Security Officer whole protection zone border is had continuously, Uncrossed overlapping observation.
As disclosed herein, the conventional method with regard to nuclear electricity facility layout has some shortcomings, and they pass through this paper institute The improvement disclosing overcomes.
In the existing layout of nuclear electricity facility, run and maintenance cost is all very high.For example, estimate that security expense is annual about 2005 million to three thousand ten thousand dollars.This expense is debatable for compared with small nut electric power facility, the generation of such as proposition Less than 300 megawatts(Electricity)Small modular reactor(SMR)Design.Additionally, can be problematic using guarding tower, because guarding The posture of the personnel in tower is that sitting is motionless, and this is unfavorable for the lasting Vigilance needed for Security Personnel.In consideration of it, it is static Guard posture and ideally should have the rotation about each two hour.As fixed position, the protection tower near border It is the target of the known and fine delineation of any external attack.
Existing nuclear power plant facility layout also makes structure, maintenance, repair and updating operation complicated.On nuclear island or turbine is built Building any work that any other place in thing or protection zone carries out must be clear by having to working in protection zone The personnel's execution understanding.In the case of being operated by contractor or other " outside " personnel, these personnel are in protection zone Must accompany when interior.Additionally, main upgrading in protection zone, such as increasing to the turbine island in the protection zone of existing utility Plus new turbine is it may be necessary to the examination of one or more administrative organization and approval.
Further, although existing nuclear electricity facility is compact, substantial amounts of operation part is placed on protection zone by them In domain.This leads to there are relatively great amount of personnel in compact protection zone, and this has at aspects such as safety, evacuating personnel programs Problem.
With reference to Fig. 1, improvement nuclear electricity facility disclosed herein is shown in plan view(That is, schematic plan).Nuclear power Power facility includes nuclear island and turbine island, and nuclear island includes the containment building 10 accommodating at least one nuclear reactor(Illustrative Fig. 1 Illustrate to accommodate " two groups " of two nuclear reactors 12,14, and also illustrate that spentnuclear fuel pond 16 in containment building 10 with weary combustion Material stores spentnuclear fuel after reactor takes out), turbine island includes the turbine building 20 accommodating at least one turbine.One Individual or multiple nuclear reactors 12,14 may include the substantially any type of nuclear reactor using major loop and steam-return line, Preferred embodiment includes pressurized water reactor(PWR).One or more nuclear reactors can be steamed with outside via main coolant loop Vapour generator(Not shown, but be also accommodated in these embodiments in containment building)It is operatively connected.In illustrative example In, nuclear reactor 12,14 is " integral type " nuclear reactor, and wherein steam generator is located in reactor vessel.This rear construction Some examples disclosed in the 16 days December in 2010 of Thome et al. U.S. Publication the 2010/0316181Alth Illustrate in " Integral Helical Coil Pressurized Water Nuclear Reactor ", the disclosure is complete Literary composition by referring in the way of include herein, and in http://www.babcock.com/products/modular_nuclear/ (On January 29th, 2011 last access)(B&W mPower in description exploitationTMIntegral small-sized modularity reactor designs)In Illustrate.U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2010/0316181Al discloses a kind of integral type PWR, and it is using having spiral The steam generator of coil pipe;But more generally, integrated steam generator can adopt straight tube, the tubular steam of such as vertical tube is sent out Raw device(OTSG)Or other pipe construction, and secondary coolant can be in pipe(Tube side)Flowing, Main Coolant moves around pipe flow, or Secondary coolant can be in the shell around pipe(Shell-side)Flowing, Main Coolant flows through pipe.Integrated steam is either adopted to occur Device or independent steam generator, the purpose of steam generator is to make the Main Coolant of flowing in reactor(Typically light Water, but it is also contemplated for the other types of Main Coolant of such as heavy water)With secondary coolant water(" feed water ")Thermal communication, two grades cold But agent water is thus heated and changes into steam.Although between Main Coolant and secondary coolant, heat connects in steam generator Logical, but Main Coolant separates with secondary coolant still fluid, there is not mixing between Main Coolant and secondary coolant.
Secondary coolant steam flows to turbine island to drive turbine via steam pipe line from nuclear island(Or, turbine/ Generator assembly)To produce, consumer or the electricity of other terminal use are distributed to by switchyard.In certain embodiments, two grades Coolant water flows in closed loop path, and wherein steam is in turbine island or condenser 21 condensed back into liquid water(That is, liquid secondary Coolant water)And flow back to nuclear island via water-supply line.The water-supply line of steam pipe line and apolegamy is via facility tunnel 22 in nuclear island And turbine passes through between island.
Although it should be understood that schematic Fig. 1 illustrates two nuclear reactors(I.e. " 2- group "), but more generally, nuclear island may include One nuclear reactor, two nuclear reactors, three nuclear reactors, four nuclear reactors, five nuclear reactors, six nuclear reactors Deng.Including during multiple reactor it is considered to nuclear island is divided into two or more non-conterminous protection zones, or alternatively multiple reactors It is arranged in single continuous protection zone(As illustrative Fig. 1).Furthermore, it is to be understood that schematic Fig. 1 only illustrates the notable spy of selection Levy, omit multiple feature known in the art simultaneously.
With continued reference to Fig. 1, protection zone 30 has the border protected by least one fence 32.Isolation area 34 is around protection Region 30 simultaneously includes being configured to detect the intrusion detection device 36 close to protection zone 30 without permission(In FIG by around guarantor Shield region 30 dotted line instruction, be also properly termed as " PIDAS " border, wherein abbreviation " PIDAS " expressions " border intrusion detection with Assessment system(Perimeter Intrusion Detection and Assessment System)”), such as thermal imaging takes the photograph As head, vibrating sensor, microwave detector, motion detection photographic head nd various combinations thereof etc..It is being envisaged for the embodiment of the U.S. In, the warning light in the type of physical barriers and quantity, protection zone adopting in the type of sensor and density, isolation area is fitted When illustrated in the NRC regulation meeting isolation area and protection zone, such as 10C.F.R. § 73.55.
As Fig. 1 it can be noted that nuclear island is arranged in protection zone 30.(If multiple reactors are arranged on multiple continuous And/or discontinuous nuclear island, protection zone comprises two core of all these continuous and/or discontinuous nuclear island-in illustrative example Reactor 12,14 is arranged in single continuous protection zone 30).But, turbine island be arranged on protection zone 30 outer and with guarantor Shield region 30 is spaced apart.This arrangement is using the such identification made here:(1)Turbine and associated components are not required protecting Visual plant in shield region, and(2)Turbine and associated components can be relatively distant from nuclear island positioning.
With regard to(1), turbine island is not key area, because during any emergency recognized, turbine The fault on machine island, destruction or other damage will not directly or indirectly lead to radiation release, and turbine island does not need for protecting Shield publilc health and safety.Referring to 10C.F.R. § 73.2.The steam drive that turbine is produced by nuclear island;But drive turbine Steam is not by the secondary coolant of any radioactive material contamination.Extend to the fracture of the steam pipe line on turbine island from nuclear island (Or other fault or shutdown)Or the fracture of the water-supply line of nuclear island is extended to from turbine island(Or other fault or shutdown)No Can cause(Directly or indirectly)The release of active material.At most, to constitute radiator impaired for this fracture or fault or shutdown The radiator of event, wherein nuclear reactor may be impaired due to the flowing of secondary coolant in steam generator.In closing building For the emergency core cooling system of reactor setting in thing(ECCS)By close immediately reactor, to by radiator damage cause Any loss pressure rise decompression and the cooling that starts reactor core and adapt to any radiator and damage event.ECCS Using shutdown control bar, soluble poison injection, the steam condenser being located in containment building, it is stored in positioned at containment building The cooling water of interior refueling water storage tank memory storage or other suitably equipment carrying out this shutdown, without as containment building Any Main Coolant of Environment release(Ratio external environment condition much less).
With regard to(2), recognize that turbine and associated components can be relatively distant from nuclear island positioning herein.This arrangement utilizes energy Enough stages before approval start to build on balance of plant(That is, the structure outside nuclear island)And hereafter use nuclear power plant supporting Facility supports the parallel construction of nuclear island, thus, it is possible to realize the irrealizable structural advantages of alternate manner.
Generally, turbine positions so that extend to the length of the steam pipe line of turbine building from nuclear island against nuclear island The shortest.Reason for this is that the steam that steam pipe line is heated by nuclear reactor via steam generator delivery, and therefore longer Steam pipe line can lead to more thermal loss and reduce efficiency.But, set with other types of such as Fossil fuel facility The comparison applied shows that this worry is unnecessary and 100 feet of magnitudes or longer steam pipe line are feasible, thermal loss Will not be problematic.
In certain embodiments, steam pipe line and water-supply line be in ground level or following, and such as in FIG illustrative sets Apply in tunnel 22.Can carry out more substantial aspect is thermally isolated this can be favourable, thus reducing further in jet chimney Any heat loss.Bury and put these pipelines the improvement safety of the external attack preventing that target from being these pipelines is also provided.Additional Ground or alternatively, in certain embodiments, nuclear island is at least partially in underground.In certain embodiments, nuclear island is in below ground, and Protection zone 30 has the maximum height less than 20 feet.In certain embodiments, nuclear island is in below ground, and protection zone 30 There is the maximum height less than 36 feet.
Although in lower height facility(For example partially or completely in underground)It has been generally acknowledged that being easily subject to from high height Attack, but it is recognized herein that partially or completely the facility in underground there are in terms of security standpoint some advantages.By partly or completely Entirely bury and put nuclear island and turbine is placed on outside safety zone, the maximum height step-down of protection zone can be made, such as in some realities Apply in example and be less than 20 feet, and be less than 10 feet in certain embodiments.This reduction has any obstruction in protection zone and sees The probability examined.In fact, in certain embodiments it is considered to not guard tower, because they do not need to provide whole protection zone Without hindrance observation on domain.Underground may also provide the enhancing protection resisting aerial or projectile attack.
In certain embodiments, super radiator(UHS)Both located underground it also is located in nuclear island or the protection against nuclear island In region.For example, in illustrative Fig. 1, multiple UHS ponds 38 are located in protection zone 30.This arrangement can also reduce external attack The pipeline that ECCS is connected by cut-out with super radiator is thus damage the probability that ECCS runs.
In fact, as herein disclosed, the safety program for the nuclear electricity facility of Fig. 1 is adopted with nuclear electricity facility routine Dramatically different.Target is:(1) make the size of protection zone minimum(Even with the cost compared with large population's nuclear electricity facility); (2) make the height in protection zone minimum;(3) make delay element maximum;And (4) make operational efficiency highest.
By forming around protection zone 30 and having the intercepting and capturing space of at least 30 feet wide physical barriers fields(Engage empty Between)40, and dispose around intercepting and capturing space 40 and be configured to detect without permission near the sensor array 36 intercepting and capturing space 40 Realize in the illustrative example of Fig. 1(3)?.Physical barriers field suitably includes ecthoaeum, barb bar or wire gauze and has Enough width(It is designated as W in FIGpb)Postpone to detect intrusion and this intrusion via the sensor array of surrounding with notable Border through protection zone 30(Such as fence 32)Between time.Although for this reason, physical barriers field is at least 30 feet wide, More preferably at least 80 feet at least 100 feet wide widely and better.With this combination, turbine island and protection zone 30(In Fig. 1 It is denoted as " dTurbine”)Between preferably at least 50 feet of spacing, be more preferably at least 100 feet, and better be at least 130 feet.Low clearance protection zone guarantees to enter in this attacker in any attacker with wide combining of physical barriers field The longer time is exposed after detected before protection zone.The design that this delay normal form is also contained in protection zone 30 is entered Enter in passage.For example, referring to Fig. 1, towards the road 50 of protection zone 30(It is additional to the safety also executing suitable vehicle search agreement Army monitors)The movable physical barriers field part 52 being installed on sliding component etc. stops, thus removing from road and allowing to award Power vehicle is examined and pass through after allowing access into.Similarly, the peace of protection zone 30 is extended to from safe building 56 Guarantor person's access path 54 includes being equipped with the bending part of the deployable prolongation postponing barrier(Dog-leg-like shape)So that via security Personnel's access path 54 close to safe building 56 and seek entry into protection zone 30 any invader can intercept and capture space 40 Postpone significant period of time.For this reason, Security Personnel's access path 54 is preferably on the ground just and one in protection zone 30 Look at nothing left.
In this secure paradigm, and/or hide oneself in reactor as mobile patrol in protection zone 30 arrangement Security Personnel In building at the relatively short distance of multiple shellproof protection defence position.In certain embodiments, do not guard tower or other fixing Guard guard station.By using mobile patrol and multiple defense position, Security Personnel tends to during they frequently move Maintain vigilance.The lower height of protection zone 30 guarantees to observe whole protection zone 30 and isolation area 34 with not being subject to obstacle, and cuts The wide physical barriers field obtaining space 40 guarantees to attempt to invade delay significant period of time by any.
With continued reference to Fig. 1, in certain embodiments, limit another secure border 60 outside isolation area/protection zone.This is another One place of safety is referring herein to security control region 62, and it is around the such as whirlpool of isolation area/protection zone and nuclear electricity facility Turbine island and the other parts of condenser 21.In the embodiment in figure 1, security control region 62 does not include electric switch station 64;But In certain embodiments, security control region is around switchyard.Security control region 62 is around nuclear island and turbine island, and has The safety lower than protection zone 30.In illustrative Fig. 1, security control region 62 includes alarm boundary fence 60 and around peace At the link entry in the vehicle barrier system of external boundary 60 of full control area 62 and each entrance security control region 62 Vehicle checkpoint 64.In certain embodiments, the beeline from the external boundary 60 in security control region 62 to protection zone 30 More than the burst radius being determined by explosion analysis.In this case, also make cause to damage in protection zone 30 even if can not eliminate The probability of the bad ignition of the vehicle being mounted with explosive is minimum.Then, in certain embodiments it is considered to nuclear reaction will be used for The parking lot 66 of heap facility is positioned at outside security control region 62, and is not having any inspection post to the porch in parking lot 66. But, only check the vehicle entering security control region 62(At the vehicle checkpoint 64 in illustrative Fig. 1).
Disclosed nuclear electricity facility layout is advantageously given operator's handss and provides increased safety.For example, by Do not need to check in the vehicle entering parking lot 66(Because these vehicles are maintained at outside the burst radius being determined by explosion analysis), Originally it is assigned and check the personnel Ke Dai entering parking lot vehicle and be assigned to and appoint with other of safety, maintenance, equipment inspection etc. Business.Turbine island is placed on the outer similarly more effectively human resourcess of distribution near turbines and/or the permission in protection zone 30 Some this personnel are re-assigned to nuclear island.
Another advantage of disclosed method is that it is easy to the modularity of nuclear electricity facility and builds.Generally, until whole core Electric power facility is finally ratified could start to build by NRC or other management entity.Due to improvement layout disclosed herein, can The other facilities built turbine island and be located at outside protection zone 30 can be started before nuclear island is authorized with final approval.
