Description

本発明は原子力発電所が廃止措置される際の原子炉圧力容器の解体工法及びその装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for dismantling a reactor pressure vessel when a nuclear power plant is decommissioned.

図13の(1)はオペレイティングフロアの平面図であり、(2)は(1)のA-A矢視の原子炉建屋の主要部の概略断面図である。図示のように原子炉建屋10の内部には、原子炉格納容器17が配置されており、原子炉格納容器17内のペデスタル22に原子炉圧力容器18が設置されている。原子炉圧力容器18の周囲は原子炉熱遮蔽壁19が形成されている。原子炉圧力容器18の上部には燃料交換や使用済み燃料の保管等の作業に供されるオペレイティングフロア(以下OFと略すことがある)11があり、その上部には定期検査等に使用される天井クレーン23が設置されている。
原子炉圧力容器18の内部には炉内構造物と称されるドライヤー(蒸気乾燥器)とセパレータ(気水分離機)とシュラウド(燃料を収納する構造物)とジェットポンプ等が設置されている。
(1) of FIG. 13 is a plan view of the operating floor, and (2) is a schematic cross-sectional view of the main part of the reactor building taken along line AA in (1). As shown in the figure, a reactor containment vessel 17 is arranged inside the reactor building 10 , and a reactor pressure vessel 18 is installed on a pedestal 22 within the reactor containment vessel 17 . A reactor heat shield wall 19 is formed around the reactor pressure vessel 18 . Above the reactor pressure vessel 18 is an operating floor (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as OF) 11 used for operations such as refueling and storage of spent fuel. An overhead crane 23 is installed.
Inside the reactor pressure vessel 18, a dryer (steam dryer), a separator (steam separator), a shroud (a structure for storing fuel), a jet pump, etc., which are called reactor internal structures, are installed. .

また原子炉建屋10には使用済燃料貯蔵プール(Spent Fuel Pool:以下単にSFPと略すことがある)16と機器貯蔵プール(Dryer Separater Pool:以下単にDSPと略すことがある)15が設置されている。SFP16は主として使用済燃料の貯蔵を、DSP15は定期検査時にドライヤー及びセパレータの保管を目的としている。SFP16とDSP15の間にはDSP15よりもスペースの広い原子炉ウエル14があり、原子炉ウエル14の下方に原子炉格納容器17がある。 Also, in the reactor building 10, a spent fuel storage pool (spent fuel pool: hereinafter sometimes simply abbreviated as SFP) 16 and an equipment storage pool (dryer separator pool: hereinafter sometimes simply abbreviated as DSP) 15 are installed. there is The SFP 16 is mainly intended to store spent fuel, and the DSP 15 is intended to store the dryer and separator during periodic inspections. Between the SFP 16 and the DSP 15 is a reactor well 14 having a wider space than the DSP 15 , and below the reactor well 14 is a reactor containment vessel 17 .

このような原子力発電設備は、耐用年数が経過すると一般に廃止措置となり設備の解体が行われる。このときの解体作業は放射性物質の外部飛散を防止し、解体作業に従事する作業者の被曝を防止しながら慎重に行わなければならない。特に炉内構造物は汚染度が高く、炉心部分は放射能レベルの比較的高い廃棄物(レベル1:L1)、炉心部分近辺で放射能レベルの比較的低い廃棄物(レベル2:L2)、その他は放射能レベルの極めて低い廃棄物(レベル3:L3)である。また原子炉圧力容器18も同様で炉心部分は、放射能レベルの比較的低い廃棄物(レベル2:L2)、その他は放射能レベルの極めて低い廃棄物(レベル3:L3)である。 Such nuclear power generation facilities are generally decommissioned and dismantled when the useful life has passed. The dismantling work at this time must be carried out carefully while preventing the scattering of radioactive materials to the outside and the exposure of workers engaged in the dismantling work. In particular, the core internals are highly contaminated, the core portion is waste with a relatively high level of radioactivity (level 1: L1), the waste near the core portion is with a relatively low level of radioactivity (level 2: L2), Others are waste with extremely low levels of radioactivity (Level 3: L3). The same applies to the reactor pressure vessel 18. The core portion is waste with a relatively low level of radioactivity (level 2: L2), and the rest is waste with an extremely low level of radioactivity (level 3: L3).

L1、L2は放射線防護の観点から遠隔操作による解体、水中での解体が特許文献1、特許文献2に開示されており、切断は使用済燃料貯蔵プール16、機器貯蔵プール15、あるいは作業用プールで行われている。
炉内構造物は使用済燃料交換時の作業と同じように、機器貯蔵プール15、原子炉ウエル14、使用済燃料貯蔵プール16、原子炉圧力容器18内を満水にして解体を行うことができる。
From the viewpoint of radiation protection, L1 and L2 are disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 as dismantling by remote control and underwater dismantling. is done in
The reactor internals can be dismantled by filling the equipment storage pool 15, reactor well 14, spent fuel storage pool 16, and reactor pressure vessel 18 with water in the same way as spent fuel replacement. .

しかしながら原子炉圧力容器18を解体する場合には、原子炉ウエル14部分のバルクヘッドプレート24を解体、撤去することから原子炉ウエル14の密閉性が失われ、前記手順のように原子炉ウエル14内を満水にすることができない。仮設構造物で閉止して満水にしても、機器貯蔵プール15、使用済燃料貯蔵プール16に原子炉圧力容器18の1次切断物を搬送するためには、オペレイティングフロア11まで吊揚げなければならない。放射能レベルの比較的低い廃棄物L2であってもオペレイティングフロア11上に出ると被曝防止の観点からオペレイティングフロアでの作業を一時中断するなど作業調整が必要になる。また解体物に遮蔽壁を被せるなど被曝低減対策が必要となり、手順が煩雑になるため作業効率が下がってしまう。 However, when dismantling the reactor pressure vessel 18, the bulkhead plate 24 of the reactor well 14 portion is dismantled and removed. It cannot be filled with water. Even if the temporary structure is closed and filled with water, the primary cut piece of the reactor pressure vessel 18 must be lifted up to the operating floor 11 in order to transport it to the equipment storage pool 15 and the spent fuel storage pool 16. not. Even if the waste L2 has a relatively low level of radioactivity, it will be necessary to make adjustments such as suspending the work on the operating floor from the viewpoint of preventing exposure to radiation when it comes out onto the operating floor 11 . In addition, it is necessary to take measures to reduce exposure to radiation, such as covering the dismantled object with a shielding wall, which complicates the procedure and lowers work efficiency.

また使用済燃料貯蔵プール16を2次切断作業に使うことを考えると、使用済燃料が発電所外に搬出されていることが前提となり、使用済燃料が搬出されるまで原子炉圧力容器18及び炉内構造物の解体に着手できない課題もある。 Considering that the spent fuel storage pool 16 is used for the secondary cutting work, it is assumed that the spent fuel has been carried out of the power plant. There is also a problem that dismantlement of the core internals cannot be started.

特許文献3に開示の解体工法は、一時切断した原子炉圧力容器18をOF11のフロアレベル以下を保ちながらDSP15まで移動し、DSP15に設置した2次切断装置で2次切断を行い、ついで、DSP15に設置した回収容器に収容している。
しかしながらDSP15に2次切断用の回転テーブルを設置すると、作業スペースが極めて狭くなり、解体手段が限定的となる。また、DSP15に回転テーブルを設置すると回収容器を設置するスペースが狭くなり、一時的に仮置きする容器数が限られてしまう。従って2次切断作業中に外部へ搬送する作業も並行して行わなければならない。
In the dismantling method disclosed in Patent Document 3, the temporarily cut reactor pressure vessel 18 is moved to the DSP 15 while keeping it below the floor level of the OF 11, the secondary cutting device installed in the DSP 15 performs the secondary cutting, and then the DSP 15 It is housed in a collection container installed in
However, if the rotary table for secondary cutting is installed in the DSP 15, the work space becomes extremely narrow, and the dismantling means is limited. In addition, if the rotary table is installed in the DSP 15, the space for installing the collection containers becomes narrow, and the number of containers to be temporarily placed is limited. Therefore, during the secondary cutting work, the work of conveying to the outside must also be performed in parallel.

In addition, the opening/closing work floor 32 is divided into two parts in a plan view, and from the closed state covering the opening of the reactor containment vessel 17 using a winch 37 installed in the OF 11, the reactor pressure vessel 18 in the opening is raised. can be opened and closed in an open state in which is exposed (see FIG. 2). The wire of the winch 37 is connected to a location that does not interfere with the secondary cutting operation by the band saw 33 . The opening/closing work floor 32 is made of lead material, steel material, or the like, which has a shielding effect against radioactive substances.

バンドソー33は、上下フレームと、無端状の鋸刃と、鋸刃を上下方向に移動させる昇降部を有し、ループ状の鋸刃を回転させ切断する構造であり、一度の切断作業で4カ所の切断が可能である。
このバンドソー33は開閉式作業床32が閉じた状態、すなわち原子炉格納容器17の開口部を覆った開閉式作業床32上に設置して、原子炉ウエル14内で1次切断した原子炉圧力容器18を軸心に沿って2次切断(垂直切断)できる切断手段である。
またバンドソー33は、ベース31又は開閉式作業床32に設置したレール38上を移動可能な車輪を底面に有している。図1~6に示すレールは、開閉式作業床32の中心を同心とする環状に設置している。これによりバンドソー33は作業床上を原子炉圧力容器18の軸回りに沿って360°回転可能に構成している。
前記ベース31と開閉式作業床32とバンドソー33は、いずれも天井クレーン23を用いてOF11から搬送して原子炉ウエル14底部に設置することができる。
The band saw 33 has an upper and lower frame, an endless saw blade, and an elevating section for moving the saw blade in the vertical direction. can be cut.
The band saw 33 is installed on the openable work floor 32 that covers the opening of the reactor containment vessel 17, and the primary cut reactor pressure in the reactor well 14 is It is a cutting means capable of secondary cutting (vertical cutting) of the container 18 along the axis.
The band saw 33 also has wheels on its bottom surface that can move on rails 38 installed on the base 31 or the openable work floor 32 . The rails shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 are installed in an annular shape concentrically with the center of the openable work floor 32 . As a result, the band saw 33 can rotate 360 degrees along the axis of the reactor pressure vessel 18 on the working floor.
The base 31 , openable work floor 32 and band saw 33 can all be transported from the OF 11 using an overhead crane 23 and installed at the bottom of the reactor well 14 .

As shown in FIG. 1, a base 31, an openable work floor 32, and a band saw 33 are temporarily placed on the OF 11 in advance. Then, the overhead crane 23 is used to install the base 31 on the bottom surface of the reactor well 14 . The base 31 serves as a base on which the openable work floor 32 is installed, and can support the work floor so as to be openable and closable.

図2に示すように、原子炉ウエル14底面に設置したベース31上に開閉式作業床32及び開閉式作業床32を開閉する動作機構となるウィンチ37をOF11に設置する。その後、開閉式作業床32の開閉動作の確認を行う。またDSP15内に処分容器36を複数搬入する。
次に1次切断手段を原子炉格納容器17内に搬入して、原子炉圧力容器18を所定の寸法に輪切りする1次切断(水平切断)を行う。なお1次切断作業中は開閉式作業床32を閉じて放射性物質の飛散を防止することもできる。そして図3に示すように、開閉式作業床32を開けて、天井クレーン23で1次切断した原子炉圧力容器18をOF11のフロアレベルよりも下方まで吊揚げ(原子炉ウエル14内)、開いている開閉式作業床32の高さを超えたら、天井クレーン23を停止させ、開閉式作業床32を閉じる。作業床上に1次切断した原子炉圧力容器18を吊降ろし、2次切断する位置を考慮して固縛する。
As shown in FIG. 2, an openable work floor 32 and a winch 37 serving as an operating mechanism for opening and closing the openable work floor 32 are installed in the OF 11 on a base 31 installed on the bottom surface of the reactor well 14 .

Next, the primary cutting means is carried into the reactor containment vessel 17, and the primary cutting (horizontal cutting) is performed to slice the reactor pressure vessel 18 into a predetermined size. During the primary cutting work, the openable work floor 32 can be closed to prevent scattering of radioactive substances. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the opening/closing work floor 32 is opened, and the reactor pressure vessel 18 that has been primarily cut by the ceiling crane 23 is lifted below the floor level of the OF 11 (inside the reactor well 14), and then opened. When the height of the opening/closing work floor 32 is exceeded, the overhead crane 23 is stopped and the opening/closing work floor 32 is closed. The primary cut reactor pressure vessel 18 is suspended on the working floor, and lashed in consideration of the secondary cut position.

As shown in FIG. 4 , the overhead crane 23 is used to install the band saw 33 temporarily placed on the OF 11 on the rails 38 of the openable work floor 32 . After that, connect the power supply and check the operation.
After moving the band saw 33 to the cutting position, it is fixed. A secondary cut (vertical cut) is then made along the axis of the reactor pressure vessel 18 . The cut pieces 35 are sequentially stored in a disposal container 36 within the DSP 15 . At this time, the cut piece 35 is moved below the floor level of the OF 11 (see FIG. 5). The disposal container 36 filled with the cut pieces 35 is moved to the end of the DSP 15 and piled up to a predetermined height with a radiation shielding effect for primary storage. Then, the empty disposal containers 36 are successively carried into the DSP 15, and this operation is repeated until the cut piece 35 disappears. Alternatively, they may be sequentially carried out to the OF 11 and moved to an external storage location.

図6は実施例1のバンドソーによる2次切断の説明図である。バンドソー33により圧力容器18の直径方向に4か所同時に2次切断する(同図(1)参照)。その後、バンドソー33をレール38上で所定の角度で回転させて2次切断する(同図(2)参照)。バンドソー33をほぼ180°回転させることにより、環状の原子炉圧力容器18を全て2次切断できる(同図(3)参照)。2次切断後はバンドソー33をOF11に搬送して開閉式作業床32上から撤去して、作業床上の切断片35を処分容器36に全て収納する(同図(4)参照)。

FIG. 6 is an explanatory view of secondary cutting by the band saw of Example 1. FIG. A band saw 33 is used to make secondary cuts at four points in the diameter direction of the pressure vessel 18 at the same time (see (1) in the figure). After that, the band saw 33 is rotated at a predetermined angle on the rail 38 for secondary cutting (see (2) in FIG. 1). By rotating the band saw 33 by approximately 180°, the entire annular reactor pressure vessel 18 can be secondary cut (see (3) in the figure).

The opening/closing type work floor 32A is also formed to have substantially the same shape as the base 31A in plan view.
The base 31A, the openable work floor 32A, and the band saw 33 are temporarily placed on the OF 11 in advance. Then, the overhead crane 23 is used to install the base 31A on the bottom surface of the reactor well 14 .

次に1次切断手段を原子炉格納容器17内に搬入して、原子炉圧力容器18を所定の寸法に輪切りする1次切断(水平切断)を行う。なお1次切断作業中は開閉式作業床32Aを閉じて放射性物質の飛散を防止することもできる。そして図9に示すように、開閉式作業床32Aを開けて、天井クレーン23で1次切断した原子炉圧力容器18をOF11のフロアレベルよりも下方まで吊揚げ(原子炉ウエル内)、開いている開閉式作業床32Aの高さを超えたら、天井クレーン23を停止させ、開閉式作業床32Aを閉じる。作業床上に1次切断した原子炉圧力容器18を吊降ろし、2次切断する位置を考慮して固縛する。
As shown in FIG. 8, an openable working floor 32A and a winch 37 serving as an operating mechanism for opening and closing the openable working floor 32A are installed in the OF 11 on a base 31A installed on the bottom surface of the reactor well 14 . After that, the opening/closing operation of the opening/closing work floor 32 is confirmed. Also, a plurality of disposal containers 36 are carried into the DSP 15 .
Next, the primary cutting means is carried into the reactor containment vessel 17, and the primary cutting (horizontal cutting) is performed to slice the reactor pressure vessel 18 into a predetermined size. During the primary cutting work, the openable work floor 32A can be closed to prevent scattering of radioactive substances. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the openable work floor 32A is opened, and the reactor pressure vessel 18, which has been primarily cut by the overhead crane 23, is lifted below the floor level of the OF 11 (inside the reactor well), and then opened. When the height of the opening/closing work floor 32A is exceeded, the overhead crane 23 is stopped and the opening/closing work floor 32A is closed. The primary cut reactor pressure vessel 18 is suspended on the working floor, and lashed in consideration of the secondary cut position.

図10に示すように、天井クレーン23を用いてOF11に仮置きしているバンドソー33をベース31Aのレール38上に設置する。その後、電源を接続し動作確認を行う。
図11に示すようにバンドソー33を切断位置に移動した後、固定する。そして原子炉圧力容器18の軸心に沿って2次切断(垂直切断)を行なう。切断片35は順次DSP15内の処分容器36に収納する。このとき切断片35は、OF11のフロアレベルよりも下方で移動させている。切断片35が一杯になった処分容器36はDSP15内の端に移動させて放射線の遮蔽効果のある所定高さまで積み上げて1次保管する。そして空の処分容器36をDSP15内に順次搬入し、この作業を切断片35がなくなるまで繰り返し行う。この他、順次OF11に搬出し、外部の保管場所に移動させても良い。
As shown in FIG. 10, the overhead crane 23 is used to install the band saw 33 temporarily placed on the OF 11 on the rail 38 of the base 31A. After that, connect the power supply and check the operation.
After moving the band saw 33 to the cutting position as shown in FIG. 11, it is fixed. A secondary cut (vertical cut) is then made along the axis of the reactor pressure vessel 18 . The cut pieces 35 are sequentially stored in a disposal container 36 within the DSP 15 . At this time, the cut piece 35 is moved below the floor level of the OF 11 . The disposal container 36 filled with the cut pieces 35 is moved to the end of the DSP 15 and piled up to a predetermined height with a radiation shielding effect for primary storage. Then, the empty disposal containers 36 are successively carried into the DSP 15, and this operation is repeated until the cut piece 35 disappears. Alternatively, they may be sequentially carried out to the OF 11 and moved to an external storage location.

図12は実施例2のバンドソーによる2次切断の説明図である。切断片35の切り端の切断面が鋭角になると処分容器36の収納効率が悪くなるため、原子炉圧力容器18の中心部分から切断して、切断面が鋭角にならないようにする。
そこで同図(1)に示すように、中心部分を残して1カ所目を切断する。次いで同図(2)に示すように1か所目と線対象となる位置にバンドソー33をスライド移動して2カ所目を切断する。
同図(3)に示すように2回の切断作業で8カ所の切断ができ、片側3片、計6片の切断片35ができる。
次に同図(4)に示すように、残りの原子炉圧力容器18を天井クレーン23で吊揚げ、90度向きを回転させて再設置し、固縛を行い前記同様の切断を行なう。なお原子炉圧力容器18にはノズル部分などがあるため、そのノズル部分を避けるように切断すると良い。
以降、図7~図11の作業を繰返し、原子炉圧力容器18を全て解体する。
FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram of secondary cutting by the band saw of Example 2. FIG. If the cutting surface of the cut end of the cut piece 35 has an acute angle, the storage efficiency of the disposal container 36 deteriorates.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1(1), the first cut is made leaving the central portion. Then, as shown in FIG. 2(2), the band saw 33 is slid to a position line-symmetrical to the first cut to cut the second cut.
As shown in FIG. 3(3), 8 cuts can be made by 2 cutting operations, and a total of 6 cut pieces 35, 3 pieces on each side, can be obtained.
Next, as shown in FIG. 4(4), the rest of the reactor pressure vessel 18 is lifted by the overhead crane 23, rotated 90 degrees, reinstalled, lashed, and cut in the same manner as described above. Since the reactor pressure vessel 18 has a nozzle portion and the like, it is preferable to cut so as to avoid the nozzle portion.
After that, the work shown in FIGS. 7 to 11 is repeated to completely dismantle the reactor pressure vessel 18 .

このような本発明の原子炉圧力容器の解体方法及びその装置によれば、機器貯蔵プールよりも広いスペースの原子炉ウエルを2次切断用の作業エリアとして活用することができ、放射能レベルの比較的低い廃棄物L2であれば原子炉ウエル内での切断が可能であり、原子炉ウエル壁面が遮蔽壁となることからオペレイティングフロアとの並行作業も被曝リスクを低減して安全に作業ができる。また通常は閉止しておくことにより開口部となる原子炉ウエル底部からの転落や物の落下による災害を防ぐことができる。また開閉式作業床を閉じて原子炉格納容器を密閉した状態で原子炉圧力容器を1次切断する場合、発生する粉塵や発生するガス等の汚染拡大を抑えることができる。 According to the method and apparatus for dismantling a reactor pressure vessel of the present invention, the reactor well, which has a larger space than the equipment storage pool, can be utilized as a work area for secondary cutting. If it is a relatively low waste L2, it is possible to cut inside the reactor well, and since the wall surface of the reactor well becomes a shielding wall, it is possible to work safely while reducing the risk of radiation exposure when working in parallel with the operating floor. can. In addition, by keeping it closed, it is possible to prevent accidents caused by falling from the bottom of the reactor well, which is an opening, or falling objects. Further, when the primary cutting of the reactor pressure vessel is performed with the openable work floor closed and the reactor containment vessel sealed, it is possible to suppress the spread of contamination such as generated dust and generated gas.

従来の解体工法のような水中切断では、操作の視認性確保のため水の清浄度を向上させる対策が必要となり、切断作業の難易度が上がってしまう。しかしながら本発明のような気中であるとこのような対策が不要となり、切断作業が容易になる。また、原子炉ウエルの壁面が遮蔽壁となり被曝低減策となる。
また、原子炉圧力容器の1次切断と2次切断を並行して行えば1次切断クル―と2次切断クルーの作業が連続的、並行して行うことになり作業効率が向上する。また連続した作業となることから作業習熟度が上がり安全性も向上する。
なお原子炉圧力容器の2次切断作業は、バンドソーを移動しながら行う他、バンドソーを固定した状態で、開閉式作業床32上で1次切断した原子炉圧力容器18を軸回りに回転しながら2次切断する構成としても良い。
以上、本発明の好ましい実施形態について説明した。しかしながら、本発明は、上記実施形態に何ら制限されることなく、本発明の主旨を逸脱しない範囲において、種々の変更が可能である。
Underwater cutting, such as the conventional dismantling method, requires measures to improve the cleanliness of the water in order to ensure the visibility of the operation, which increases the difficulty of the cutting work. However, if it is in the air like the present invention, such countermeasures become unnecessary, and the cutting work becomes easier. In addition, the wall surface of the reactor well serves as a shielding wall, which serves as a measure to reduce radiation exposure.
Also, if the primary cutting and secondary cutting of the reactor pressure vessel are carried out in parallel, the work of the primary cutting crew and the secondary cutting crew will be carried out continuously and in parallel, thereby improving working efficiency. In addition, since the work is continuous, work proficiency is improved and safety is improved.
The secondary cutting work of the reactor pressure vessel is carried out while moving the band saw, or while rotating the primary cut reactor pressure vessel 18 on the openable work floor 32 with the band saw fixed. A configuration for secondary cutting may also be used.
The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications are possible without departing from the gist of the present invention.

本発明の原子炉圧力容器の解体工法及びその装置は、特に原子力発電所の廃止措置を行う原子力産業分野において、産業上の利用可能性を有する。 INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The method and apparatus for dismantling a reactor pressure vessel according to the present invention have industrial applicability particularly in the field of the nuclear power industry for decommissioning nuclear power plants.
