Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、材料の照射試験用装置に関し、特に実際の原子炉内で使用するに適した照射試験用装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術及び発明が解決しようとする課題】
原子炉容器内で使用する部材は、原子炉容器自体を含め原子炉運転中に中性子の照射を受ける。これらの部材を構成する材料は、中性子の照射を受けると伸びや強度などの材料特性が変化する。このような材料特性等の機械的性質を始めとする構成部材の物性変化を正確に知ることは、原子炉容器内で部材を信頼性良く、安全に使用する上で必要である。従来、このような構成部材の照射による材料特性の変化は、材料試験炉などで中性子照射の模擬条件で、照射試験を行い、その試験結果から材料の健全性などを推定してきた。しかしながら、実際の原子炉内部の中性子照射条件を含め、原子炉内部の状態を材料試験炉等で完全に模擬することは極めて困難で不可能に近い。
従って、本発明の課題は、実際の原子炉における中性子照射等を受け、その材料の特性変化を正確に知りうるテストピースの保持構成を堤供することである。
【0003】
【課題を解決するための手段】
如上の課題を解決するため、本発明によれば、照射試験用テストピースを設置する場所として、炉心を構成する燃料集合体の制御棒案内管のうち、実際の制御棒が挿入されない制御棒案内管を利用する。その制御棒案内管内に設置される照射試験用構成部材は、制御棒案内管内に挿入可能に形成されていて複数の通水小孔が穿設された収納管本体、その収納管本体の上端及び下端にそれぞれ接合され通水路が形成された上部端栓及び下部端栓、前記収納管本体内に同心円状に軸方向に直列に並んで収納された複数のテストピース、並びに前記テストピース相互間に介装されたスペーサを有してなり、該スペーサの少なくとも一つは軸方向に所定長さを有する短管を備えている照射試験用テストピース収納棒として構成される。
この照射試験用テストピース収納棒の原子炉容器内における設置及び取り扱いの便を向上するため、シンブルプラグ集合体に組み込まれる。このシンブルプラグ集合体は、原子炉炉心を構成する燃料集合体の制御棒案内管の内の制御棒が挿入されないものにそれぞれ挿入される複数のシンブルプラグを保持板を介して相互に連結して構成されているが、一部のシンブルプラグと照射試験用テストピース収納棒とを置き換える。その際前記上部端栓の上端に形成された取り付け用ねじを利用して保持板に固定される。
【0004】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下添付の図面を参照して、本発明の実施形態を説明する。先ず図2を参照して、原子炉炉心を構成する燃料集合体10の構造を説明する。図において、上部ノズル11はほぼ正方形の水平断面を有する部材で、冷却材が通る穴と後述の制御棒案内管が取り付けられる穴が多数設けられている。下部ノズル13も同様に冷却材が通る穴と後述の制御棒案内管が取り付けられる穴が多数設けられている。これらの上部ノズル11と下部ノズル13とは、複数の互いに平行な制御棒案内管(シンブル−thimble−とも称する。)15によって連結されている。この制御棒案内管15は、これに軸方向に間隔をおいて取り付けられる複数の支持格子17の特定の格子開口に挿入固定されている。支持格子17は碁盤目状に形成された格子開口を有する格子構造物であり、制御棒案内管15の入らない格子開口に多数の燃料棒19が挿入されている。このような燃料集合体10が多数、例えば百数十体、互いに隣接して装荷されて炉心を形成するのであるが、全数の燃料集合体10に制御棒が挿入されるわけではなく、制御棒案内管15に本来の制御棒が挿入されない燃料集合体10がある。このような燃料集合体10の制御棒案内管15にシンブルプラグと称する一種の短管状プラグが挿入される。
【0005】
次に本発明により前述のような制御棒案内管15に挿入されるテストピース収納棒20を図1を参照して説明する。
テストピース収納棒20の主要部を占める収納管本体21は、ステンレス鋼製の被覆管であり、その上端に溶接接合される上部端栓23は、内部に通水路23aを有し、更に上部にねじ部23bが突出形成されている。収納管本体21の下端には砲弾形外形の下部端栓25が溶接接合され、内部に通水路25aが形成されている。収納管本体21にも通水孔21aが形成されている。そして収納管本体21の中にテストピース27a〜27lが、スペーサ29及び中間スペーサ31を介して直列に連結されて収納され、適所に設けたばね33により確りと保持される。テストピース27a〜27lは、試験すべき各種の材料からできており、図示の簡略のため同一形状で示されているが、供試材料の使用目的に合わせて適切な形状、寸法が選択され、照射後はサンプルとして使用される。各テストピース27a〜27lは、材料特性等を測定するためサンプルとして取り出されるのであるが、その際、収納管本体21は中間スペーサ31の位置で切断され、テストピースを損壊することはない。従って、中間スペーサ31の取り付け位置及び数はそれに適したものとなる。
【0006】
図3及び図4にそれぞれスペーサ29及び中間スペーサ31がそれぞれ示されている。スペーサ29は、テストピースを受け入れて支持する軸部29aと半径方向に支持するリング部29bを有し、リング部29bには冷却材が流れる通水溝29cが形成されている。中間スペーサ31も基本的に同様な構造で、テストピースを受け入れて支持する軸部31aと半径方向に支持するリング部31bを有し、リング部31bには冷却材が流れる通水溝31cが形成されている。中間スペーサ31では更に、2個のリング部31bの間に短管31dが設けられて、前述の切断が行われるようになっている。
【0007】
以上のように構成されたテストピース収納棒20は、原子炉内で確りと保持され、且つ取り扱いが便利なように図5に示すようにシンブルプラグ集合体40として組み立てられる。シンブルプラグ集合体40は,基本的には、前述のような制御棒案内管15の上端部に挿入される複数のシンブルプラグ41、これらの上端が連結保持される保持板43,保持板43の中心部にあるハブ45、これに嵌装されたハンドル47及びホールドダウンスプリング49を有し、その一部のシンブルプラグ41がテストピース収納棒20に置き換えられている。テストピース収納棒20は、収納したテストピースが所定の中性子照射を受けられるような長さになっていて、例えば良く使用される可燃性毒物棒と同様な長さになっている。
【0008】
以上のように構成されたシンブルプラグ集合体40は、シンブルプラグ41及びテストピース収納棒20が対応する制御棒案内管15の中に挿入され、上方の上部炉心板(図示しない。)に押さえられて炉心内に固定される。そして、原子炉の運転中、テストピース収納棒20内のテストピースは、その場所の中性子照射を受ける。又、ガンマ線加熱などにより熱負荷を受けるが下部端栓25の通水路25a,上部端栓23の通水路23a、通水孔21a及び通水溝29c,31cを通って流れる冷却材即ち軽水によって冷却される。
所定の照射が完了すれば、原子炉外に取り出されたシンブルプラグ集合体40からテストピース収納棒20が取り外され、更に中間スペーサ31の部分で収納管本体21が切断され、内部のテストピース27が取り出されて、サンプルとして検査される。
【0009】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明によれば、実機の原子炉の炉心を構成する燃料集合体の制御棒案内管内にテストピース収納棒が挿着され、その中にテストピースが入れられているので、現実の原子炉内の中性子照射を受けることができ、その材料特性の変化を正確に把握することができる。しかも、シンブルプラグ集合体として組み立てられているので、取り扱いが便利で原子炉の運転中確りと保持される。
