Abstract
Description
Anlage zur Abfuhr von überschußwarme aus ZwischenlagerbeckenSystem for the removal of excess heat from the intermediate storage basin
für nukleare Brennelemente Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Anlage zur Abfuhr von Wörme aus wassergefüllten Becken, in denen verbrauchte nukleare Brennelemente aus Kernkraftwerken bis zu ihrer Wiederaufbereitung zwischengelagert werden ohne, daß von außen Hilfsenergie für den Betrieb von Umwälzeinrichtungen und Küblaggregaten benätigt wi rd.for nuclear fuel elements The invention relates to a plant for the removal of heat from water-filled basins in which spent nuclear fuel elements from nuclear power plants are temporarily stored until they are reprocessed without, that from the outside auxiliary energy for the operation of circulation devices and Küblaggregaten is required
Solche Brennelement- Zwischenlager befinden sich in Kernkaftwerken oder werden in zentralen Sammel- oder Aufbereitungsanlagen erstellt. Die von den noch strahlenden Brennelementen währand des Abklingens der Kernspaltung freigesetzte Restwäme ist nicht unerheblich und wird durch kontinuierliche Külung des sie umgebenden, unter atmosphärischem Druck stahenden Beckenwassers über Wärmeaustauscher an die Umgebung abgeführt.Such fuel element interim storage facilities are located in nuclear power plants or are created in central collection or processing plants. The ones from the emitting fuel elements that were still released during the decay of the nuclear fission Residual heat is not insignificant and is caused by continuous cooling of the surrounding, pool water under atmospheric pressure via heat exchangers to the Environment dissipated.
Die Umwälzung der Kühlmedien und der Antrieb von Hilfseinrichtungen erfordert einen hohen Energieaufwand. Dieser kann aus dem Netz der öffentlichen Stromversorgung entnommen werden oder in Not- bzw. Krisenfällen aus anlageneigenen Notstromaggregaten mit Antrieb über Verbrennungsmotore gedeckt werden.The circulation of the cooling media and the drive of auxiliary equipment requires a lot of energy. This can be from the network of the public Power supply can be taken or, in emergencies or crises, from the plant's own Emergency power generators with drive via internal combustion engines are covered.
In besonders kritischen Situationen muß aber auch mit dem Mangel an flüssigen oder gasförmigen Brennstoffen gerechnet werden.In particularly critical situations, however, there must also be a lack of liquid or gaseous fuels are expected.
Bei Ausfall der gesamten Energieversorgung und der damit einhergehenden Unterbrechung der Lagerbeckenkühlung kann die Beckenwassertemperatur unzulässig hoch ansteigen, so daß es schließlich siedet,. verdampft und in die Umgebung entweicht. Eine Nachspeisung des verlorenen Beckenwassers ist unter diesen Umständen nicht möglich. Der Schutz vor radioaktiver Strahlung bricht zusammen und es kann ein verstarkter Neutronenstrom zwischen den eingelagerten Brennelementen auftreten.In the event of failure of the entire energy supply and the associated Interruption of the storage pool cooling can make the pool water temperature impermissible rise high so that it finally boils. evaporates and escapes into the environment. A replenishment of the lost pool water is not possible under these circumstances possible. The protection against radioactive radiation breaks down and it can be reinforced Neutron fluxes occur between the stored fuel elements.
Es gibt Vorschläge, die Beckenwasserwärme über Kühlsysteme, deren Medien durch freie Konvektion in Umlauf gehalten werden.There are suggestions that the pool water heat via cooling systems, whose Media are kept in circulation by free convection.
an die Umgebung abzuführen. Diese Lösungen erfordern einen schr hohen apparatetechnischen und baulichen Aufwand.dissipate to the environment. These solutions require a tremendous amount technical equipment and structural effort.
Der Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, die in Brennelementbecken freiwerdende Wärmemenge sicher abzuführen und in einem Kreisprozeß zur Energieerzeugung heranzuzichen, deran Ergiebigkeit ausreicht, alle Hilfsantriebe für einen sicheren Kühlbetrieb zu versorgen und das nukleare Zwischenlager von einer Enerqiezufuhr von außen unabhängig zu machen.The invention is based on the object in fuel pool Released heat to dissipate safely and in a cycle for energy generation to draw on, the yield is sufficient, all auxiliary drives for a safe To supply cooling operation and the nuclear interim storage facility from an energy supply to make it independent from the outside.
Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß in einem Kreisprozeß ein bei niedriger Temperatur siedender Warmeträger (z.B. Ammoniak) eingesetzt wird. Eine Speisepumpe (1) fördert den Warmeträger durch den in das Lagerbecken eingehängten Verdampfer (2) zu einer Warmekaftmaschine (3). Hier wird die aus dem Beckenwasser zur Verdampfung des Wärmeträgers abgezogene Wärme in mechanische Arbeit umgewandelt. Die Wärmeabfuhr erfolgt dann einer einer Kondensator (4). Das verflüssigte Arbeitsmittel fließt vor die Speisepumpe zuricI:.This object is achieved in that a in a circular process low-temperature boiling heat carriers (e.g. ammonia) are used. One Feed pump (1) conveys the heat transfer medium through the one suspended in the storage basin Evaporator (2) to a thermal machine (3). This is where the pool water comes from Heat withdrawn to evaporate the heat transfer medium is converted into mechanical work. The heat is then dissipated in a condenser (4). The liquefied working medium flows back upstream of the feed pump :.
Der Vorteil der Erfindung liegt in der Unabhängigkeit eines nuklearen Zwischenlagers von einer Energiezufuhr von außen.The advantage of the invention lies in the independence of a nuclear Intermediate storage from an external energy supply.
Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung ist die Wirtschaftlichkeit einer solchen Kähleinrichtung, die nicht nur in Notfällen, sondern auch unter normalen Bedingungen betrieben werden könnte.Another advantage of the invention is the economics of a such a culling device that works not only in emergencies but also under normal Conditions could be operated.
Die Betriebskosten eines nuklearen Zwischenlagers ließen sich so nicht unwesentlich senken.The operating costs of a nuclear interim storage facility could not be reduced in this way decrease insignificantly.
