Also reach. In order to house such a large reactor pressure vessel integrally, for example, a height 2
A huge airlock of 5m or more is required. In addition, at this time, since the inside of the airlock needs to be manufactured with a structure and material that can withstand the negative pressure, it is also necessary to take measures against earthquakes and measures against typhoons, so practical application is difficult in practice. is there.

(2) Maintaining the airtightness of the opening The existing reactor pressure vessel to be replaced needs to be handled as a radioactive substance, and the reactor building where the reactor pressure vessel is installed is a radioactively contaminated area. For this reason, air conditioning is controlled so that the pressure is lower than the atmosphere outside the building. Therefore, in the case where an opening communicating with the outside air is provided in the reactor building, it is necessary to make the size smaller than a size capable of maintaining a negative pressure. To pass a reactor pressure vessel having a diameter of about 8 m, it is necessary to form at least an opening having a diameter of about 10 m in the reactor building. In order to keep the indoor at a negative pressure, the area of the opening to the outside air cannot be set to, for example, 2.5 m 2 or more. This 2.5 m 2 corresponds to the area of a circle having a diameter of 1.8 m. Therefore, during the opening forming work, it is necessary to devise the opening having a diameter of 10 m to be equal to or less than an opening area equivalent to a circle having a diameter of 1.8 m. No consideration is given. For this reason, the airtightness cannot be maintained only by the existing air conditioning equipment, and a new air conditioning equipment needs to be added. Further, if a gap of 10 cm or more is formed around the reactor pressure vessel while the reactor pressure vessel having a diameter of 8 m passes through the opening, the gap area exceeds 2.5 m 2 . Therefore, in such a case, it is necessary to provide a means for reducing the area of the opening having a diameter of 10 m to 8.2 m or less to reduce the gap to 10 cm or less. In a space without pressure difference, it is possible to seal with a simple material such as soft vinyl.
If there is a water column, the load applied to the area of 10m in diameter is 150
Tons, it is necessary to provide a special sealing means separately. As described above, the above prior art does not take into consideration the maintenance of airtightness during the formation of the opening and the passage of the reactor pressure vessel through the opening. This leads to higher costs.

(3) Increasing the amount of radioactive waste Various equipment and facilities used for replacing the reactor pressure vessel are treated as radioactive waste after use, as described in (1) and (2) above. As described above, in the above-described conventional technology, an airlock having a huge structure, an additional air-conditioning facility, and the like are required, so that the amount of waste is enormous.

Means for Solving the Problems (1) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a method for replacing large-sized equipment / structures in a building of a nuclear power plant by replacing large-sized equipment / structures in the building. In the replacement method, a room provided in a plurality of layers, an external communication port with the outside provided in a room of the outermost layer among the rooms of the plurality of layers, and a boundary communication port provided at a boundary of the adjacent room, respectively. And a temporary building provided with an opening / closing means capable of opening and closing the external communication port and the boundary communication port in a desired squeezed state, by bringing the temporary building into close contact with the outer wall of the building, and securing predetermined airtightness with the opening / closing means, Replacement of the large equipment and structures via the temporary building. At the time of replacement of large equipment and structures, the temporary building is brought into close contact with the outer wall of the nuclear power plant building. Since the temporary building has multiple layers of rooms, the innermost room is in contact with the building of the nuclear power plant. Therefore, the boundary connecting port between the room at the innermost layer and the room adjacent to the room may be narrowed to a predetermined opening area or less by the opening / closing means, and the opening forming work may be performed on the exterior wall surface of the building in the room at the innermost layer. In this case, the innermost room communicating with the building through the opening is a radioactively contaminated area (area C),
By narrowing the opening area to the outer layer side by the opening / closing means, the negative pressure in the building can be maintained and airtightness can be secured without providing new air conditioning equipment. After the opening is formed,
Existing large equipment and structures will be transported from the building to the temporary building through this opening, and then to the non-contaminated area (area A) outside the temporary building. First, radiological contamination inspection and measurement of large equipment and structures must be performed in the contamination start area (area B). Therefore,
A large device or structure may be lifted through the opening to penetrate from the innermost layer to the room on the outer layer side, and the inspection or measurement may be performed in that room. At this time, by narrowing each boundary communication port through which large equipment and structures penetrate to a predetermined opening area with opening and closing means, it is possible to maintain negative pressure inside the building without providing special sealing means, The airtightness between the room in the innermost layer, which is the area, and the room for inspection / measurement is maintained, and that room can be used as the contamination start area. In addition, by making the temporary building a multi-layer structure, it is sufficient to provide a two-layer room in the minimum case. Thus, for example, when the height of one layer is set to one floor of an ordinary building, that is, about 3 m, the reactor pressure vessel having a diameter of 8 m and a height of 25 m or more can be obtained only with a small temporary building having a total height of about 6 m. Large devices can be safely replaced.
