Description

Reactor pressure vessel protection method and system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of nuclear power plant equipment protection, in particular to a method and a system for protecting a reactor pressure vessel.
Background
The primary loop of the nuclear power plant mainly comprises a reactor pressure vessel, a voltage stabilizer, a main pump, a steam generator, a main pipeline and other devices, wherein the reactor pressure vessel contains nuclear fuel for generating heat, and other devices contain reactor coolant for conducting heat. In any event, the nuclear power plant must monitor and ensure the integrity of the primary circuit to prevent potential radioactive emissions from the loss of reactor coolant.
Among all the breaks of the primary circuit devices, the consequences of the reactor pressure vessel break are often the most serious, since the nuclear fuel contained therein is extremely radioactive, and the nuclear power plant does not have any means of isolating the break after the break, which would lead to a continuous leakage of coolant and radioactivity. Therefore, the nuclear power plant has the most stringent requirements on the manufacturing process of the reactor pressure vessel to ensure its reliability. At the same time, the primary circuit pressure must be monitored strictly during the operation of the nuclear plant, ensuring at all times that it does not exceed the allowable pressure of the reactor pressure vessel (the highest pressure that the plant is allowed to withstand during use), which is temperature-dependent. Based on the material characteristics of the reactor pressure vessel, the allowable pressure of the reactor pressure vessel decreases with the decrease of temperature, and particularly when the temperature reaches the ductile-brittle transition temperature, the allowable pressure of the reactor pressure vessel decreases sharply, so that the reactor pressure vessel becomes easier to break.
At present, although the nuclear power plant designs corresponding protection schemes aiming at the thermal state and the cold state of the unit, the technical means of the protection schemes are large in difference, the association relationship between the thermal state and the cold state is weak, and the design of protection fixed values of some equipment (such as a safety valve) is also greatly different, so that the thermal state and the cold state of the unit are blocked in switching, and the safety of the nuclear power plant is reduced.

The descending state refers to the process of the unit from the power running state to the shutdown and refueling state.
The ascending state refers to the process of the unit from the shutdown refueling state to the power running state after the unit starts to heat and boost.
Overpressure refers to a phenomenon in a system where the system fluid pressure increases and reaches or exceeds the design pressure due to thermodynamic imbalance, excessive pump flow, or other similar phenomenon.
The cold state refers to that during the shutdown and refueling of the unit, a loop is communicated with the atmosphere, and the reactor coolant is in a normal temperature and pressure state. In a nuclear power plant, it is determined that the reactor coolant is cold when the coolant temperature is lower than 180 ℃ and the coolant pressure is lower than 3.2 mpa.abs.
Thermal state refers to the reactor coolant being in a high temperature and pressure state during power generation in a nuclear power plant so as to transfer heat generated by nuclear fuel to the secondary loop.
The waste heat discharging system is used for carrying out waste heat of the reactor core in a cold state and ensuring that the temperature of a loop is within an allowable range.
In this embodiment, when the unit is in a downlink state, if the residual heat removal system is in an effective state, it is indicated that the reactor is shut down, and the residual heat of the reactor core is being discharged, that is, the reactor pressure vessel is being rapidly cooled (compared with natural cooling), in order to avoid the reactor pressure vessel from cracking due to the sudden drop of temperature to the ductile-brittle transition temperature, a cold overpressure protection signal needs to be generated, so as to activate the cold overpressure protection means, to make the unit in a cold overpressure protection state, prevent the reactor pressure vessel from embrittling due to the temperature drop of the unit in a cold state, and then cause the reactor pressure vessel to crack, and further, if the residual heat removal system is not in effect, when the average temperature of a loop is reduced below the first transition temperature, a cold overpressure protection signal is generated, so as to prevent the reactor pressure vessel from cracking;

In this embodiment, the safety valve opening threshold refers to an air pressure threshold at which a safety valve in a loop regulator is opened, for preventing the regulator from being over-pressurized; when the unit is in a hot state, the safety valve opening threshold is generally set to be a power safety threshold (which may be 17 mpa.abs); the cold overpressure protection means is implemented, which means that the unit is in a cold state, and the reactor pressure vessel is embrittled accordingly, so that the cold safety threshold is smaller than the power safety threshold, and the reactor pressure vessel can be prevented from being broken due to overpressure after cooling embrittlement.
The predetermined unnecessary device is a device which can inject mass energy into a loop and can normally operate without using the device after the unit enters a downlink state, such as a device which can raise the temperature or pressure of the loop, for example, a pressurizing pipeline of a safety injection system, so that unexpected increase of the temperature or pressure of the loop in the downlink state can be avoided as much as possible.

In order to prevent the damage to the equipment caused by the overpressure, the unit must be subjected to overpressure protection, such as setting overpressure protection criteria for different working conditions and designing overpressure protection devices (such as safety valves are common). In the embodiment, the cold overpressure analysis firstly makes the unit in a cold state, only enables the safety valve of the voltage stabilizer, namely other equipment in the overpressure protection equipment fails, and prepares for the subsequent targeted analysis of the pressure bearing capacity of the safety valve of the voltage stabilizer; then, by gradually increasing the pressure of a loop, the voltage regulator safety valve is simulated to work under various transient working conditions so as to acquire the maximum bearing pressure of the voltage regulator safety valve under various transient working conditions, so that the corresponding protection threshold under various transient working conditions is calculated by combining the overpressure protection criteria of various transient working conditions, and then the cold state safety threshold is selected according to the current transient working condition type, thereby ensuring the protection effect of the cold state overpressure protection means.
In some embodiments, the pressure of the one circuit may be increased by: injecting a minimum temperature liquid (water or coolant) into a loop at a maximum flow rate by controlling a safety injection system in the unit; or injecting the mass energy through a chemical and volume control system in the control unit; or by controlling the reactor coolant pumps in the unit to continue to operate to increase coolant flow and thus the pressure of the primary circuit.
In an alternative embodiment, the thermal overpressure protection means in step S1 comprises: the safety valve opening threshold is set to at least one of a power safety threshold, opening a predetermined unnecessary device, and disabling a waste heat removal system safety valve.
