What is claimed is:
The present invention relates to a pressurized water reactor.
In a pressurized water reactor, primary coolant led to a reactor is heated by heat energy from fuel assemblies in the reactor and then led to a steam generator. In the steam generator, the heated primary coolant and the secondary coolant are subjected to heat exchange, and the steam generated from the boiling secondary coolant is led to a turbine to be used for power generation.
The primary coolant is introduced into the reactor pressure vessel 1 through the inlet nozzles 4 and flows down in the downcomer 6. The primary coolant streams merge in a lower plenum 7 formed below the fuel assemblies 2. The merged primary coolant is then turned 180° and passes upwardly through the lower core support plate 8 and fuel assemblies 2 in the reactor core barrel 3. The primary coolant heated in the fuel assemblies 2 reaches an upper portion of the reactor pressure vessel 1 to be mixed therein, flows out through the outlet nozzles 5, and led to a steam generator (not illustrated).
In such a pressurized water reactor, when a flow rate or a pressure of the primary coolant becomes non-uniform at normal operation time, the fuel assemblies 2 are cooled unevenly. Thus, it is important to supply uniformly-distributed primary coolant to the fuel assemblies 2.
In order to make the coolant flowing through the inlet nozzles uniform in a circumferential direction, there is proposed installation of a streamline shape separation preventing member in the downcomer and formation of radial supports (radial keys) into a streamline shape (Patent Document 1).
As described above, there is proposed a configuration in which the primary coolant flowing down in the downcomer is made uniform in order to make uniform the primary coolant flowing through the fuel assemblies of the reactor. However, the conventional technique in which the separation preventing member is installed in the downcomer or the radial supports are formed into streamline shapes has an effect of preventing flow separation in a local area but has a difficulty in making the primary coolant uniform in the entire circumference of the downcomer.
The present invention has been made to solve the above problem, and an object thereof is to provide an in-core structure of a nuclear reactor capable of making the primary coolant flowing down in the downcomer uniform in the circumferential direction and supplying the uniformly-distributed primary coolant to the fuel assemblies.
In order to achieve the object, there is provided a pressurized water reactor comprising: a cylindrical reactor pressure vessel having a vertically-extending axis and connected with a plurality of inlet nozzles at its side surface; a plurality of fuel assemblies accommodated in the reactor pressure vessel; a cylindrical reactor core barrel having a vertically-extending axis, the reactor core barrel surrounding the plurality of fuel assemblies, and forming an annular downcomer between itself and an inner side surface of the reactor pressure vessel; and a plurality of radial supports arranged spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction in the downcomer provided below the inlet nozzles so as to position the reactor core barrel and the reactor pressure vessel, wherein a vertically-extending flow path is formed in each of the radial supports.
According to the present invention, it is possible to make the primary coolant flowing down in the downcomer uniform in the circumferential direction and to supply the uniformly-distributed primary coolant to the fuel assemblies.
Embodiments of a pressurized water reactor according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described using
The same reference numerals are given to the same or similar parts as those in the conventional in-core structure, and the repeated description will be omitted.
In the present embodiment, flow path-equipped radial keys 21 and key groove members 40 are used as radial supports. Each of the radial keys 21 has a flow path 22 inside thereof.
Four flow path-equipped radial keys 21 are mounted to outside of the reactor core barrel 3 at a lower portion thereof so as to be spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction. Each of the flow path-equipped radial keys 21 has a vertically-extending protrusion. The key groove members 40 each is mounted to a position facing one of the flow path-equipped radial keys 21. Each of the key groove members 40 has a vertically-extending key groove 41. Each of the protrusion of the flow path-equipped radial keys 21 is fitted to one of the key grooves 41 to thereby achieve positioning of the reactor core barrel 3 within the reactor pressure vessel 1.
The coolant flow path 22 through which the coolant flows vertically is provided in a center of each of the flow path-equipped radial keys 21.
Other configurations are the same as those in the conventional technique described using
In the thus configured present embodiment, the reactor core barrel 3 is positioned by the flow path-equipped radial keys 21 and the key groove members 40 with a clearance with respect to reactor pressure vessel 1. Flow 12 of the primary coolant going down in the downcomer 6 is separated into left and right flows when passing through the flow path-equipped radial keys 21. In addition, flows in which the primary coolant passes through the coolant flow paths 22 formed in the centers of the flow path-equipped radial keys 21 occur. This prevents flow separation which may occur when the coolant passes through the flow path-equipped radial keys 21. As a result, it is possible to prevent a flow rate of the primary coolant toward the fuel assemblies 2 positioned on the downstream side of the flow path-equipped radial keys 21 from being locally decreased.
Although the flow path-equipped radial keys 21 are fixed at four locations in the circumferential direction in the present embodiment, the number of the flow path-equipped radial keys 21 may be increased or decreased as needed. Further, although the flow paths 22 are provided in the components on the reactor core barrel 3 side in the embodiment described above, the flow paths 22 may be provided in the component on the reactor pressure vessel 1 side or may be provided in both the components on the reactor core barrel 3 side and the reactor pressure vessel 1 side.
Further, in the illustrated example, the flow path-equipped radial keys 21 are mounted to the outside of the reactor core barrel 3, and the key groove members 40 are mounted to the inside of the reactor pressure vessel 1. Conversely, however, the key groove members 40 may be mounted to the outside of the reactor core barrel 3, and the flow path-equipped radial keys 21 may be mounted to the inside of the reactor pressure vessel 1.
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described using
In the second embodiment, in place of the radial supports composed of the flow path-equipped radial keys 21 and the key groove members 40, radial supports 23 each composed of a pair of magnetic bodies 24 and 25 are used. Each of the radial supports 23 includes the magnetic body 24 fixed to the reactor core barrel 3 side and the magnetic body 25 fixed to the reactor pressure vessel 1 side so as to face the magnetic body 24. A plurality of the radial supports 23 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the reactor core barrel 3. The magnetic bodies 24 and 25 facing each other are magnetized so as to attract or repel each other.
Flow paths 26 are formed between the magnetic bodies 24 and 25. As illustrated in
In the thus configured present embodiment, the reactor core barrel 3 is positioned in a radial direction by electromagnetic forces attracting each other (or electromagnetic forces repelling each other) in a non-contact manner. Achievement of the positioning in a non-contact manner allows an increase in a clearance for the flow paths 26 and allows the flow paths to be arranged uniformly in the circumferential direction, thereby preventing a flow rate of the primary coolant from being locally decreased.
Although four radial supports 23 are used in the present embodiment, the number of the radial supports may be arbitrarily changed. For example, in a modification illustrated in
Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the embodiments are merely illustrative and do not limit the scope of the present invention. These novel embodiments can be practiced in other various forms, and various omissions, combinations, substitutions and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention. The embodiments and modifications thereof are included in the scope or spirit of the present invention and in the appended claims and their equivalents.
For example, the features of the respective embodiments may be combined in one pressurized water reactor.
