Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nuclear power plant maintenance, in particular to a main steam safety valve sealing plug disassembly and assembly device. Background Art
[0002] The main steam safety valve is one of the key equipment in a nuclear power plant and belongs to the secondary circuit pressure boundary. According to nuclear safety regulations and operating specifications, the secondary circuit pressure boundary, including the main steam safety valve, must be regularly subjected to hydrostatic tests to verify the integrity of the boundary containing radioactive materials. The secondary circuit hydrostatic test is the main line of work in the overhaul of a nuclear power plant. Before the project starts, it is necessary to plug the nozzle of the main steam safety valve that is being dismantled and overhauled, press a special sealing plug into the nozzle, and rely on the O-ring to achieve the seal between the nozzle and the plug. During the test, if a leak occurs, the test process will be rolled back and the sealing plug will be reinstalled, which will inevitably affect the overhaul plan and cause economic losses. The high pressure (10.2MPa) of the secondary circuit hydrostatic test causes the O-ring to have a large fit and tightening force, making it difficult to press the sealing plug into the nozzle by manpower. If a non-standard tool is used to force the sealing plug into the nozzle, it is easy to damage the O-ring or even damage the nozzle sealing ring, causing leakage and forcing the hydrostatic test to terminate. In addition, due to the tight fit of the O-ring, it is also extremely difficult to pull out the sealing plug, and forced operation is likely to damage the equipment. Summary of the invention
