Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of nuclear power, and particularly relates to a storage device for spent fuel of a heavy water reactor and a mounting method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The dry storage module for spent fuel of the heavy water reactor is internally embedded with multiple vertical storage cylinders, and the storage cylinder is a core device of the dry storage module for spent fuel. The leveling process during the installation of the storage cylinder is very important. If there is a flaw in the leveling of the storage cylinder, it will seriously affect the safety of the remote mechanical loading. For example, the spent fuel basket deviates from the axis, repeatedly collides with the cylinder wall during the falling process, and causes serious deformation, resulting in difficulty in retrieving the spent fuel basket. For another example, the spent fuel basket collides with the cylinder wall or even overturns and falls, resulting in damage and waste of the storage cylinder and the spent fuel basket.

[0003] The MACSTOR type storage module commonly used in the industry adopts the form of fixing the storage cylinder by the top plate. The leveling process for installing the storage cylinder only needs to level the plane of the upper surface of the top plate and the upper end of the storage cylinder. The bottom of the storage cylinder is a free end and can be heated and stretched up and down.

[0004] If the storage cylinder is fixed by the bottom plate instead of the top plate, the sequence of installing the storage cylinder will be changed to from bottom to top. The error of each step during the installation process will be gradually accumulated from bottom to top. The control link is complex. In addition, in engineering practice, the flaws in the installation process of the storage cylinder will only appear in the last few links, which will lead to overall rework and waste of huge manpower and resources. As can be seen, the installation difficulty brought by changing the storage cylinder to be fixed by the bottom is significantly improved. It is urgent to overcome many technical problems such as installation accuracy and installation efficiency of the storage cylinder. SUMMARY

[0029] Step two, the lower plate is provided with a plurality of positioning areas, and the marking size of each positioning area can be consistent with the outer diameter of the first nut, so as to facilitate positioning of each first nut during welding, and each first nut is welded and fixed in a positioning area, and the horizontal deviation distance of each first nut from the center of the lower plate is not more than 1mm, and then the lower end of each anchor bolt is connected with a first nut to form a pre-fixed bolt group, so that the horizontal deviation distance of the top of each anchor bolt from the center of the lower plate after installation is not more than 2mm.

[0030] Step three, after a second nut is installed on the upper part of each bolt, the upper plate with array bolt holes is axially sleeved into the pre-fixed bolt group, each anchor bolt is inserted into a bolt hole to cooperate, so that the upper plate is erected on each second nut, and rotating any one or more second nuts can adjust the levelness of the upper plate, and in the case that the levelness of the upper plate after leveling meets the preset requirements, each second nut is spot-welded and fixed to the lower surface of the upper plate.

[0032] The pre-embedded assembly of the present disclosure adopts a split adjustable structure of the upper plate, the lower plate and the anchor bolt, which facilitates the construction personnel to adjust the leveling from bottom to top according to the actual working conditions of the actual bottom plate level, thereby flexibly adapting to different construction scenes and improving the accuracy and efficiency of leveling. In addition, the leveling of the pre-embedded assembly is prior to the pouring of the bottom plate, so that the levelness of the bottom plate surface and the concrete pouring process have little influence on the leveling of the storage cylinder, which can realize the layer-by-layer adjustment of the levelness of the storage cylinder base, effectively fix the storage cylinder after pouring of the bottom plate, and at the same time guarantee the leveling accuracy and installation firmness of the storage cylinder.

[0033] In a possible implementation, in step three, during the process of installing the anchor bolt on the upper surface of the lower plate, a simulation piece is used to constrain and adjust the position of each anchor bolt, and then the upper plate is installed, and after the upper plate is installed, the simulation piece is removed, so that after the simulation piece is removed, each bolt can be smoothly inserted into the corresponding bolt hole of the upper plate, and the horizontal deviation distance of the top of each bolt from the center of the lower plate is less than or equal to 2mm. The simulation piece is consistent in size and bolt hole layout with the upper plate, and is made of light material (such as aluminum or resin material).

[0034] In a possible implementation, the lower layer of steel bars of the bottom plate is tied before the anchor bolt installation, and the upper layer of steel bars of the bottom plate is tied after the anchor bolt installation.

[0035] In a possible implementation, the upper surface of the upper plate and the lower surface of the lower plate are subjected to thermal spraying of zinc for corrosion prevention, and the coating thickness is at least 350 um. After the storage cylinder is installed and fixed in place, the outside of the support is subjected to zinc spraying treatment, and the first cavity formed between the bottom end of the storage cylinder, the inner wall of the support, and the upper plate is filled with grout until 10 cm from the bottom of the storage cylinder.

[0036] As shown in Figure 3 , the stiffener plate 211 connecting the lug 21 and the ring plate 22 is arranged on both sides of each lug 21 of the support 2, the folded plate 212 is arranged on the side opening of the stiffener plate 211, the stiffener plate 211, the folded plate 212, the lug 21, and the ring plate 22 form a second cavity, and the through hole reserved by the folded plate 212 is used to fill the second cavity with grout.

[0037] In a possible implementation, referring to Figure 1 , a plurality of discharge ports are arranged on the top plate of the storage module, each discharge port is opposite to one storage cylinder 1, the storage device further includes a support cylinder 4 and a water blocking cylinder 5, the support cylinder 4 is arranged around the inner wall of the corresponding discharge port and is used to support and fix the discharge port, and the water blocking cylinder 5 is arranged around the upper opening of the discharge port, the water blocking cylinder 5 is welded with the support cylinder 4 below, the upper edge of the water blocking cylinder 5 is higher than the upper edge of the discharge port and is used to block the water flow from the outer surface of the top plate into the discharge port, and a rain cover 7 is arranged on the upper end of the water blocking cylinder 5. The support cylinder 4 and the water blocking cylinder 5 are installed by the following steps.

[0038] Step five, after the top plate support scaffold and the bottom mold are installed, the preset gap (for example, 20 mm) between the storage cylinder and the support cylinder is measured, steel nails with a length equal to the preset gap are symmetrically nailed on the bottom mold along the outer wall of the storage cylinder to position the inner diameter of the support cylinder, 20mm-thick polystyrene extruded plates are added to the outer wall of the storage cylinder for reinforcement, the first half and the second half of the support cylinder are hoisted to the top of the storage cylinder, the first half and the second half are assembled and fastened to form a whole support cylinder, and the bolts between the first half and the second half are tightened to ensure that the joint is tight.

[0039] Step six, the gap error between the support cylinder and the storage cylinder is not more than 0.5mm, and the installation height of the support cylinder is adjusted appropriately based on the horizontal plane of the ring plate of the water retaining cylinder. After the positioning and fine adjustment of the support cylinder, the gaskets are uniformly inserted between the water retaining cylinder and the storage cylinder to prevent welding deformation, which reduces the distance between the water retaining cylinder and the storage cylinder, and can ensure that the subsequent loading and unloading ring can be smoothly put in. After the ring welding connection of the water retaining cylinder and the support cylinder, the elevation of the ring plate of the water retaining cylinder is adjusted to the design value again, and then the gaskets are taken out.

[0040] In the present disclosure, if the water retaining cylinder and the support cylinder are welded and fixed at the factory, it is beneficial to control the welding thermal deformation, but after intensive storage, the distance between the two storage cylinders is significantly reduced, the steel bars of the module top plate are densely arranged, and the installation of the steel bars will further reduce the operation space if the water retaining cylinder is installed first. It is not convenient to bind the steel bars of the top plate, and it is not convenient to transport the water retaining cylinder and the support cylinder, so it is necessary to separate the two components and install them on site.

[0041] In one possible implementation, the storage device further comprises a plurality of positioning pin embedded parts and positioning pins, the plurality of positioning pin embedded parts and the positioning pins are arranged on the upper surface of the storage module top plate, the plurality of positioning pin embedded parts are evenly distributed around the center of the storage cylinder, and the positioning pins are arranged near the storage cylinder and the positioning pin embedded parts. The positioning pin embedded part serves as a reference plane for positioning the upper part of the shielding transport container on the storage cylinder, the flatness of the upper surface of the positioning pin embedded part allows a deviation of ±1mm, and the horizontal tolerance of each positioning pin embedded part is not more than 3mm. The upper surface of the storage module top plate is fixedly embedded with a plurality of positioning pin embedded parts around each storage cylinder, and the upper surface of the module top plate concrete and the water retaining cylinder ring plate cannot be higher than the upper surface of the positioning pin embedded part, so that the upper surface of the positioning pin embedded part is the highest point of the module top, to ensure that the shielding transport container is located on the plurality of positioning pin embedded parts and is on the same horizontal plane.

[0042] The positioning pin is a positioning device of the adapter device and the storage cylinder pair, and also determines whether the shielding transport container can be finally centered with the storage cylinder pair to prevent the fuel from colliding with the cylinder wall when being lowered into the storage cylinder. In order to ensure the positioning of the positioning pin, a special tool for installing the positioning pin is made on site to facilitate the determination of the position of the positioning pin and ensure the centering with the storage cylinder.
