Definitions

  • This invention relates to decontamination apparatus and more particularly to a method and apparatus for decontaminating heat exchange tubes in a nuclear steam generator.
  • a typical nuclear steam generator comprises a vertically oriented shell, a plurality of U-shaped tubes disposed in the shell so as to form a tube bundle, a tubesheet for supporting the tubes at the ends opposite the U-like curvature, and a dividing plate that cooperates with the tubesheet forming a primary fluid inlet plenum at one end of the tube bundle and a primary fluid outlet plenum at the other end of the tube bundle.
  • the primary fluid having been heated by circulation through the nuclear reactor core enters the steam generator through the primary fluid inlet plenum.
  • the primary fluid flows upwardly through first openings in the U-tubes near the tubesheet which supports the tubes, through the U-tube curvature, downwardly through second openings in the U-tubes near the tubesheet, and into the primary fluid outlet plenum.
  • a secondary fluid known as feedwater, is circulated around the U-tubes in heat transfer relationship therewith, thereby transferring heat from the primary fluid in the tubes to the secondary fluid surrounding the tubes causing a portion of the secondary fluid to be converted to steam.
  • the primary fluid contains radioactive particles and is isolated from the secondary fluid by the U-tube walls and the tubesheet, it is important that the U-tubes and tubesheet be maintained defect- free so that no breaks will occur in the U-tubes or in the welds between the U-tubes and the tubesheet, thus preventing contamination of the secondary fluid by the primary fluid.
  • the present invention resides in a method of decontaminating tubes in a nuclear steam generator wherein a rotatable hone is inserted into said tubes from inlet and outlet plenum areas of said steam generator and rotated while it is moved through said tubes to remove radioactive deposits therefrom and wherein water is supplied to the work area of the hone to wash away the radioactive deposits, characterized in that each tube is closed at the discharge end of said radioactive deposits and the wash water and radioactive deposits are conducted out of the steam generator directly from the tubes without permitting them to contact the inlet and outlet plenum walls.
  • the invention further resides in an apparatus for decontaminating the tubes of a steam generator, comprising a brush mounted on a flexible tube structure for inserting said brush into steam generator tubes while said brush is rotated to clean the tubes, said tube structure having nozzles for directing water supplied through said tube structure to the work area of said brush to wash away deposits removed by said brush from the surfaces of said tubes, and means for removing the wash water and deposits from said steam generator, characterized in that said tube structure extends through a flexible conduit (58) having a free end adapted to be disposed in sealing engagement with a tube (38) for directly receiving wash water and radioactive deposits flowing therefrom, said conduit (58) extending out of the steam generator to a cleaning mechanism (60) in which the wash water and deposits are removed from said conduit (58), said tube structure extending through a seal structure (112, 114) in said cleaning mechanism (60) and being connected to drive means for rotating and axially moving said tube structure (58).

  • the primary fluid which may be water having been heated by circulation through the nuclear reactor core enters steam generator 20 through primary fluid inlet nozzle 24 and flows into primary fluid inlet plenum 34. From primary fluid inlet plenum 34, the primary fluid flows upwardly through tubes 38, through tubesheet 28, up through the U-shaped curvature of tubes 38, down through tubes 38 and into the primary fluid outlet plenum 36, where the primary fluid exits the steam generator through primary fluid outlet nozzle 26. While flowing through tubes 38, heat is transferred from the primary fluid to the secondary fluid which surrounds the tubes 38, causing the secondary fluid to vaporize.
  • manways 46 are provided in outer shell 22 to provide access to both primary fluid inlet plenum 34 and primary fluid outlet plenum 36 so that access may be had to the entire tubesheet 28.
  • the decontamination apparatus is referred to generally as 50 and comprises a rotatable hone 52 capable of being disposed within tubes 38.

  • Second flexible conduit 82 and cable 94 are arranged to slide through first flexible conduit 58, through a central passage in housing 96, and into attachment with drive mechanism 64.
  • a first fluid return chamber 98 is defined in housing 96 and in fluid communication with first flexible conduit 58 so that the fluid that is being returned by first flexible conduit 58 flows into first fluid return chamber 98 and into drain piping 100. From drain piping 100, the fluid is conducted to either a waste disposal treatment facility or to a recirculation facility chosen from those well known in the art.

  • Motor 122 serves to rotate cable 94 which in turn rotates rotatable hone 52 thus removing the contamination from the inside of tubes 38.
  • Drive mechanism 64 is supported on cable holding apparatus 66.
  • Cable holding apparatus 66 may be a rotatable platform or a take-up wheel capable of rotating so as to accommodate the excess cable 94 and excess second flexible conduit 82 under the influence of advancement mechanism 62.

  • the rate at which rotatable hone 52 is moved through tube 38 is chosen so as to achieve a sufficient decontamination factor (DF) where:
  • rotatable hone 52 it has been found that it is important for rotatable hone 52 to rotate at between approximately 6-12 revolutions per inch of tube 38. At approximately 6-12 revolutions per inch of tube, a decontamination factor of between approximately 20-25 may be achieved. Thus, a decontamination factor of between 20-25 can be attained for various combinations of rotational speed and linear speed of rotatable hone 52. The following table illustrates some of the combinations that will yield approximately 6-12 revolutions per inch and thus yield decontaminations factors of between 20-25.
  • decontaminations factors of approximately 20-25 can be achieved for rotational speeds of between 800-3500 rpm and for linear speeds of between 5 ft/min to 50 ft/min.
  • the actual choice of rotational speeds and linear speeds may depend upon the time available to complete the operation.
