Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear fuel post-processing, and in particular relates to a system for cooling the inner cavity of a spent fuel transport container. Background Art
[0002] After the spent fuel is unloaded from the reactor pool of the nuclear power plant, it is loaded into the spent fuel transport container and transported to the nuclear fuel reprocessing plant. Before the spent fuel is reprocessed, it needs to be stored in the spent fuel pool of the reprocessing plant for a period of time. Due to the decay heat generated by the spent fuel, the temperature of the inner cavity of the transport container can reach 200-300°C. Before unloading, the inner cavity of the transport container needs to be cooled: the transport container is filled with water for cooling. When the water is first filled, the high temperature in the container flashes the cooling water, and the generated high-temperature gas is cooled and introduced into the red-orange zone exhaust system. The cooling water is continuously introduced. When the cooling water completely occupies the space where the original gas exists in the inner cavity of the container, the exhaust is completed, and then the cooling water is continuously introduced to cool the spent fuel assemblies in the inner cavity of the transport container until the temperature of the inner cavity of the transport container drops to 40-50°C.
[0003] The process operation flow of the existing technology is cumbersome. The exhaust and cooling water drainage of the container need to be connected to the transport container separately. The end point of the exhaust in the inner cavity of the container is difficult to control, which is prone to misoperation. The cooling water is likely to enter the process exhaust system and cause damage to the equipment of the exhaust system. Furthermore, when the exhaust pipe and the cooling water pipe at the outlet of the transport container are switched, it is very easy to cause the leakage of radioactive gas, causing the operator to be irradiated. Summary of the invention
