Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Abschirmbehälter aus Metall, insbesondere Stahl, für den Transport und die Lagerung von abgebrannten Kernreaktorbrennelementen und dergleichen, mit einem Behältermantel, der an seiner Außenseite mit Neutronenmoderator gefüllte, durch aufgeschweißte Segmentbleche verschlossene Längskammern aufweist.The invention relates to a shielding container made of metal, especially steel, for the transport and storage of spent nuclear reactor fuel elements and the like, with a container jacket with neutron moderator on the outside filled, by welded segment sheets has closed longitudinal chambers.
Bei einem aus der Praxis bekannten Abschirmbehälter dieser Art sind die Längskammern für den Neutronenmoderator durch auf den Behältermantel aufgeschweißte Radialstege gebildet. Das ist aufwendig und in funktioneller Hinsicht nicht befriedigend. Über die Kammerstege muß die gesamte im Abschirmbehälter entstehende Wärme durch Wärmeleitung an die Oberfläche abgeleitet werden. Gammastrahlung soll durch das Metall des Behältermantels und Neutronenstrahlung durch den Neutronenmoderator abgeschirmt werden. Sind die Radialstege zu dünn, entsteht ein Wärmestau und damit zu hohe Innentemperaturen im Abschirmbehälter. Sind die Radialstege zu dick, entsteht wegen des dort fehlenden Neutronenmoderators ein sogenanntes Neutronenstreaming, d. h. eine erhöhte Dosisleistung durch Neutronen an der Oberfläche. Die Dicke der Radialstege beinhaltet mithin immer einen Kompromiß.In a shielding container known from practice this Art are the longitudinal chambers for the neutron moderator through radial webs welded onto the container jacket. This is complex and not satisfactory from a functional point of view. The entire must be in the shielding container over the chamber webs heat generated by heat conduction to the Surface can be derived. Gamma radiation is said to Metal of the container shell and neutron radiation through the Neutron moderator are shielded. Are the radial webs If it is too thin, heat builds up and the internal temperatures are too high in the shielding container. Are the radial webs too thick, arises because of the missing neutron moderator so-called neutron streaming, i.e. H. an increased Dose output by neutrons on the surface. The fat the radial webs therefore always involve a compromise.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Abschirmbehälter der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, daß er einfach herstellbar und funktionssicher ist.The invention has for its object a shielding container of the type mentioned in such a way that he is easy to manufacture and reliable.
Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht darin, daß die Längskammern in einem stumpfen Winkel zur radialen Richtung verlaufend und in radialer Richtung eine Moderatorüberdeckung erzeugend aus dem Behältermantel herausgearbeitet sind.The solution to this problem according to the invention consists in that the longitudinal chambers at an obtuse angle to the radial A moderator overlap in the direction and in the radial direction worked out producing from the container jacket are.
Durch die schräge Anordnung der Längskammern wird eine optimale Einstellung der Abschirmeigenschaften aus physikalischen Gründen möglich. Die Gammaabschirmung erfolgt nah an der Quelle und die Neutronenabschirmung am Außenrand der Gammaabschirmung. Durch die Schrägstellung des eingebauten Neutronenmoderators ist ein Neutronenstreaming ausgeschlossen, da sich die Moderatorstege in radialer Richtung überdecken. Die Wärmeleitung wird durch die Stege des Behältergrundmaterials in ausreichender Weise erreicht.The oblique arrangement of the longitudinal chambers is an optimal one Setting the shielding properties from physical Reasons possible. The gamma shielding is close at the source and the neutron shield on the outer edge of the Gamma shielding. By tilting the built-in Neutron moderator, neutron streaming is excluded, because the moderator webs overlap in the radial direction. The heat conduction is through the webs of the container base material achieved sufficiently.
Für die weitere Ausgestaltung bestehen im Rahmen der Erfindung mehrere Möglichkeiten, deren bevorzugte nachfolgend aufgeführt sind:For the further embodiment there are within the scope of the invention several options, their preferred below are listed:
So sind die Längskammern vorzugsweise aus dem Behältermantel herausgefräst. Dabei empfiehlt es sich, die Längskammern mit in Längsrichtung auslaufenden Enden auszuführen. Die Längskammern sollten durch sich über mehrere, vorzugsweise vier Längskammern erstreckende Segmentbleche verschlossen sein. In diesem Zusammenhang empfiehlt es sich, die Segmentbleche in Längsrichtung auf zwischen den Längskammern verlaufende Stege und in Umfangsrichtung unterhalb der unteren sowie oberhalb der oberen auslaufenden Enden aufzuschweißen. Im übrigen sollten die Segmentbleche vor dem Aufschweißen auf ihrer Außenseite mit aufgeschweißten Längskühlrippen versehen werden, so daß eine spätere Anbringung am Abschirmbehälter vermieden wird. The longitudinal chambers are preferably made of the container jacket milled out. It is recommended to use the longitudinal chambers to be carried out with ends tapering in the longitudinal direction. The longitudinal chambers should go through several, preferably four longitudinal chambers extending segment plates closed his. In this context, it is recommended the segment sheets in the longitudinal direction between the longitudinal chambers extending webs and in the circumferential direction below the lower and above the upper ends to weld on. Otherwise, the segment sheets should be in front welding on the outside with welded on Longitudinal cooling fins are provided, so that a later attachment on the shielding container is avoided.
