Abstract
A gap forming structure for use with water cooled nuclear reactors is invented to prevent overheating and ultimately structurally failing of the lower head of a reactor vessel in a nuclear reactor core meltdown accident by virtue of a cooling effect in the gap structure for facilitating the retention of accumulated molten core debris. Single layer or multilayer gap structures can be installed either inside or outside the vessel lower head by joining, or fastening strucures or secured to the instruments/control guide tubes within the vessel. The water cooling capacity inside the gap structure can prevent the vessel lower head from overheating and subsequently failing and thus defent against severe accidents by preventing the lower head of the reactor vessel from rupturing.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the formation of a kind of gap and keep structure, in core melt down accident, be not damaged in order to protection nuclear reactor pressure vessel lower end.
Technical background
The present invention is relevant with nuclear reactor, introduce a kind of formation structure of gap in the lower end of this reactor core pressure vessel, and remain on a kind of geometric configuration that is easy to cool off with this, be implemented under the situation of core melt down accident, prevent to make the overheated and ultimate failure of this lower end housing because of the accumulation of reactor core fragment of fusing.Within this lower end, add the housing of a spill parabola or garden cylinder and constitute the liquid phase boundary line of this reactor.If when a kind of like this major accident will take place, the core pressure vessel of this reactor was because overheated, its inner reactor core material may melt, and transfers to the lower end of this core pressure vessel subsequently downwards.In this case, the reactor core material of fusing will directly contact with this core pressure vessel lower end, thereby make this heating of metal reactor core pressure vessel lower end and distortion, and cause that it breaks, thereby face the danger that a large amount of radioactive materials leak.This structure of the present invention has formed a predetermined gap, directly contact with the inside surface of this pressure vessel with the reactor core material that prevents to melt, so: at first, prevented the rapid intensification of this reactor core pressure vessel lower end, secondly, by guaranteeing the water-cooled effect in this gap, help to realize preventing major accident and therefore prevent the damage of the core pressure vessel lower end of this reactor.
Traditional water-cooled reactor does not prevent this interstitial structure of serious meltdown accident, therefore, just in case take place that major accident and molten core material shift downwards and when this core pressure vessel lower end accumulation, perhaps can produce a little gap naturally, and this gap may be too little, too irregular, cooling to this fragment may be insufficient, and the amount of cooling water of this fragment is decided according to the scope of accident.In No. 2 units in three miles islands (TM1-2) accident in 1979, prove once serious accident at last, comprising core meltdown, the reactor core fragment of fusing directly contacts the extreme that has caused this core pressure vessel inwall with the lower end of this core pressure vessel and is heated near its melting temperature.Yet because some unaccountable mechanism, this core pressure vessel was cooled off again afterwards and had been avoided the damage of this core pressure vessel.In order to explain this rapid cooling, set up following theory: limited chilled water has been added among the gap that forms between the reactor core fragment of fusing and this core pressure vessel lower end inside surface, but its inhomogeneous and random distribution has caused being created in the TM1-2 accident of focus, although in fact the quantity of the reactor core fragment of Zhuan Yiing is 19 tons, the less than 1/5th of having only reactor core material, but the breakage of separating with unconspicuous border is still left in this reactor core pressure vessel lower end.Therefore, if an accident that has bigger fusing degree takes place, it is not enough that this reactor core pressure vessel lower end only depends on natural cooling mechanism to cool off, and its potential result is breaking of reactor core pressure vessel, and the reactor core fragment of this fusing subsequently releases.Its consequence is that a large amount of high-temperature materials will release and build interior structure with containment and further excite chemical reaction and thermal response from this core pressure vessel.Owing to this high temperature and high pressure threatens the integrality of this containment, may produce one even more serious accident.
Designed the outside catcher (ex-vesse catcher) (U.S. Patent number 4,113,560) of a kind of core pressure vessel by M.J.Driscoll and F.L.Bowman (Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)).In the outside catcher of this core pressure vessel, the reactor core fragment of this container is solidified by the structure (graphite, sand etc.) of core pressure vessel outside.The outside catcher of this core pressure vessel can seal and be isolated in its inside separately with the reactor core fragment of fusing, to stop itself and containment building further reaction takes place.It is intended that will avoid producing heat and gas when the concrete reaction of reactor core fragment that melts and containment terrace, and prevents that a large amount of radioactivity molten core fragments from overflowing from this concrete base.Yet this special device is designed to; only after a reactor core pressure vessel breaks; and, therefore, need a kind of additional security system to cool off and protect this containment to build no matter may have a large amount of heat and radioactivity radiation leakage within the containment building.In quick breeder reactor, adopted the reactor core below trap structure of reactor with the liquid metal cooling.But in Fermi's type heap, because design defect,, will facilitate a core melt down accident when this connection loosing and when blocking ANALYSIS OF COOLANT FLOW.In addition, the horizontal reactor core below catcher design that Fermi's type heap and SUPERPHENIX reactor are used can not produce effect to water-cooled reactor, because it is very abominable with the cooling condition of obstruction below this steel plate of bubble to be seethed with excitement.
A kind of core pressure vessel external refrigeration mode has been proposed, and proving it has the ability external refrigeration is carried out (referring to T.G.Theofanos in this core pressure vessel lower end, C.Liu, S.Addition, S.Angelini, O.Kymaelaeinen and T.Samassi show " core pressure vessel inside is to the cooling and the maintenance (In-vessel coolability and Rention of aCore-melt) of molten core ", DOE/ID-10460, in November, 1994).This method be considered to limited several be in operation or design in factory its rationality is arranged, but it has a shortcoming, will expend a large amount of time and water resource exactly and the cavity of reactor is flooded in a large number.In addition, the excess of this core pressure vessel is flooded or floods out of turn, may just have the danger that radiation heat impacts and make this pressure vessel generation annular region embrittlement.
