Detailed Description
The invention is described in further detail below with reference to the figures and the embodiments.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a heavy water reactor spent fuel dry storage structure in accordance with an exemplary embodiment. As shown in fig. 1, the support structure of the dry storage container for heavy water reactor spent fuel may include: the storage containers 5, the fuel baskets 4, and the shield plugs 1 are made of a material capable of shielding radiation, and the storage containers 5 and the shield plugs 1 are made of, for example, carbon steel. The present disclosure does not limit the material of each storage container 5 and each shield plug 1.
In the present disclosure, the storage module may be formed by pouring concrete, for example, and the storage module has a cavity therein, the cavity has a top plate 3 and a bottom plate 7, and the top plate 3 of the cavity is provided with a plurality of through holes along the axial direction.
Each storage container 5 is a cylindrical structure with an open top end, each storage container 5 can be axially inserted into one through hole, and the bottom end of each storage container 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 7 of the chamber.
A plurality of fuel baskets 4 are arranged in each storage container 5, each fuel basket 4 is used for holding spent fuel, and for example, the plurality of fuel baskets 4 in each storage container 5 are arranged from bottom to top.
Each shield plug 1 is fitted into an opening at the top end of a storage container 5, thereby closing the storage container 5.
The present disclosure changes the manner in which the storage containers are supported from the top plate of the storage module to the bottom plate of the storage module by fixedly attaching the bottom end of each storage container to the bottom plate of the chamber so that the top plate does not have to bear the weight of the storage container. The requirements of dense storage of the spent fuel and the requirement of seismic resistance are met.
In one possible implementation, as shown in fig. 1, the inner wall of each storage container 5 has a step portion extending radially inward at a position close to the upper opening of the storage container 5, and the bottom end of the shield plug 1 inserted into the storage container 5 is pressed against the step portion. The top end opening edge of each storage container 5 has a first boss portion extending radially outward, the top end edge of each shield plug 1 has a second boss portion extending radially outward, and the second boss portion of each shield plug 1 is pressed against the first boss portion of the plugged storage container 5. In this way, the shield plug 1 is engaged with the stepped portion, and the first projecting portion and the second projecting portion are engaged, whereby the storage container 5 can be sealed more effectively.
In one possible implementation, the heavy water reactor spent fuel dry storage structure further includes a plurality of anchor bolts 6; each storage vessel 5 is fixedly connected to the floor 7 of the storage module by means of a number of anchor bolts 6. For example, a plurality of anchor bolt holes may be axially formed in the bottom end of each storage container 5, and each anchor bolt 6 may be screwed to one anchor bolt hole and the bottom plate 7, thereby fixedly coupling the bottom end of the storage container 5 to the bottom plate 7.
In a possible realization, each storage container 5 has a gap 2 of a preset distance between the upper end outer wall and the inserted through hole inner wall. It is possible to effectively prevent the storage container 5 and the top plate 3 from being damaged due to thermal expansion of the storage container 5.
In one possible implementation, the plurality of storage containers are arranged in an array. The number of the plurality of storage containers is between 40 and 140.
In one example of an application, the following operations may be performed to install the heavy water reactor spent fuel dry storage structure of the present disclosure.
Divide into the multiunit with a plurality of rag bolts 6, every group rag bolt 6's quantity is the same, can be with rag bolt 6 pre-buried on the bottom plate 7 of storing the module. When the storage containers 5 are installed, each storage container 5 is inserted into a foundation bolt hole in the bottom of the storage container 5 and fixed against a set of foundation bolts 6. After the storage container 5 is mounted, the storage module side walls and the storage module top plate 3 are constructed. The fuel basket 4 may be loaded after the storage vessel 5 and storage modules are completed. When loading, the shield plug 1 is first opened from the outer surface of the module top plate 3, and a plurality of fuel baskets 4 are sequentially put into the storage container 5. After the storage container 5 is filled with the fuel basket 4, the shield plug 1 is put in, and the storage container 5 is sealed by welding. The storage vessel 5 is brought into an operating state, i.e. a long-term storage state.
