Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant construction, and particularly relates to a reactor coolant loop and an installation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] At present, the design of the reactor coolant loop of domestic pressurized water reactor nuclear power plants mainly has the "1 hot leg - 1 transition section - 1 cold leg" mode of the M310 type and the "1 hot leg - 2 cold legs" mode of the AP1000 type. As Figure 1 shown, the structure of the reactor coolant loop of the AP1000 type is relatively compact because the main pump is attached to the steam generator and the transition section is omitted. However, the disadvantage is that since 3 welding grooves need to be butt-welded simultaneously between the bottom head nozzle and the pump casing nozzle of the steam generator and the main pipeline during installation, the butt-welding groove alignment of the main pipeline is complex, difficult, and has a high risk. The circumferential welding restraint of the loop is large, resulting in a high risk of welding stress and welding deformation; and there are a total of 6 installation welds in one loop, 12 installation welds in 2 loops of a million-kilowatt unit, and 2 welding positions of 5GT and 6GT, resulting in a large amount of work in welding preparation, welding process qualification, welding, and non-destructive inspection of the main pipeline, and a long installation and welding period.

[0023] The installation method includes:
[0024] Pair and weld the nozzle plane of the hot-end pump housing of the steam generator or the nozzle plane of the hot-end elbow and the pump housing end plane of the main hot-section pipeline to form the first weld;
[0025] The end plane of the hot section main pipe is assembled and fixed with the nozzle plane of the coolant outlet nozzle of the reactor pressure vessel;
[0026] Taking the end of the coolant inlet nozzle of the reactor pressure vessel and the end of the cold end pump housing nozzle of the steam generator as the reference, measure and machine the adjustment sections at both ends of the cold section main pipe, and after the pipe ends of the cold section main pipe are assembled with the cold end pump housing nozzle end of the steam generator, the pipe ends of the cold section main pipe are staggered from the end of the coolant inlet nozzle of the reactor pressure vessel by the shrinkage amount of a second weld;
[0027] The pipe end of the cold section main pipe is welded to the cold end pump housing nozzle end of the steam generator to form a second weld.

[0028] The pipe end of the hot section main pipe and the pipe end of the cold section main pipe are respectively welded to the coolant outlet nozzle end and the coolant inlet nozzle end of the reactor pressure vessel to form a third weld and a fourth weld, completing the installation of a reactor coolant loop.

[0030] The installation method includes:
[0031] The hot section main pipe and the cold section main pipe are respectively assembled and fixed with the coolant outlet nozzle end and the coolant inlet nozzle end of the reactor pressure vessel, and the pipe end of the cold section main pipe is staggered from the end of the coolant inlet nozzle of the reactor pressure vessel by the shrinkage amount of a second weld;
[0032] Taking the steam generator end of the hot section main pipe and the steam generator end of the cold section main pipe as the reference, measure and machine the adjustment section of the hot end pump housing or the hot end elbow nozzle end of the steam generator and the adjustment section of the cold end pump housing nozzle end of the steam generator, and after the steam generator is assembled with the hot section main pipe, the cold end pump housing nozzle end of the steam generator is staggered from the pipe end of the cold section main pipe by the shrinkage amount of a first weld;
[0033] Release the assembly and fixation of the hot section main pipe and the coolant outlet nozzle end of the reactor pressure vessel;
[0034] The nozzle end of the hot end pump housing or the hot end elbow of the steam generator is welded to the pipe end of the hot section main pipe to form a first weld;
[0035] After the first weld seam shrinks, the pipe end of the hot section main pipe is fixed in alignment with the coolant outlet nozzle end of the reactor pressure vessel, while the nozzle end of the cold end pump housing of the steam generator is aligned and paired with the pipe end of the cold section main pipe;
[0036] Release the pairing and fixation of the pipe end of the cold section main pipe and the coolant inlet nozzle end of the reactor pressure vessel;
[0037] The pipe end of the cold section main pipe is welded to the nozzle end of the cold end pump housing of the steam generator to form a second weld seam.

[0039] In the present invention, by redesigning the AP1000 reactor coolant loop, compared with the original AP1000 design, since the perpendicular line of the docking surface between the hot section main pipe and the reactor pressure vessel is parallel to the perpendicular line of the docking surface between the cold section main pipe and the reactor pressure vessel, and the perpendicular line of the docking surface between the cold section main pipe and the steam generator is perpendicular to the perpendicular line of the docking surface between the cold section main pipe and the reactor pressure vessel, the loop from the coolant outlet nozzle of the reactor pressure vessel to the coolant inlet nozzle of the reactor pressure vessel after improvement has a portal structure, the groove alignment is simple, and each component of the loop can freely contract during alignment and welding, reducing the restraint degree and welding stress during the alignment and welding of the loop structure. In addition, the "1 hot section - 2 cold sections" structure of the original AP1000 design is simplified to a "1 hot section - 1 cold section" structure. The number of main pipe installation weld seams in one loop is reduced from 6 to 4, and the number of main pipe installation weld seams in two loops can be reduced from 12 to 8. The two welding positions of 5GT and 6GT in the original AP1000 design are reduced to one welding position of 5GT, correspondingly greatly reducing the construction workload, which is beneficial to reducing costs, shortening the construction period, and improving the safety and economy of nuclear power plant construction and operation.

[0054] Embodiment 1:
[0055] As Figure 2 shown, this embodiment provides a reactor coolant loop, including: a reactor pressure vessel 10, a steam generator 1, a hot leg main pipe 6, and a cold leg main pipe 15;
[0056] The hot leg main pipe 6 adopts the 5GT welding position, that is, the pipe butt joint is horizontally fixed and welded between the reactor pressure vessel 10 and the steam generator 1;
[0057] The cold leg main pipe 15 adopts the 5GT welding position, that is, the pipe butt joint is horizontally fixed and welded between the reactor pressure vessel 10 and the steam generator 1;
[0058] When the hot leg main pipe 6 is butted with the nozzle end plane 8 of the coolant outlet nozzle 9 of the reactor pressure vessel 10, the perpendicular line of the pipe end face 7 is parallel to the perpendicular line of the pipe end face 16 when the cold leg main pipe 15 is butted with the nozzle end plane 17 of the coolant inlet nozzle 18 of the reactor pressure vessel 10;
[0059] As Figure 2 、 Figure 9 shown, the perpendicular line 19 of the cold end pump casing nozzle end plane 12 where the steam generator 1 is butted with the pipe end face 13 of the cold leg main pipe 15 is perpendicular to the perpendicular line of the nozzle end plane 17 of the coolant inlet nozzle 18 where the reactor pressure vessel 10 is butted with the pipe end face 16 of the cold leg main pipe 15.
[0060] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, the bottom head of the steam generator 1 is provided with a hot end pump casing 3 and a cold end pump casing 14;

[0063] In this embodiment, asFigure 2 As shown, the cold leg main pipe 15 is an L-shaped pipe, which includes a short section and a long section after continuous bending. The pipe end 13 of the short section is connected to the nozzle end 12 of the cold end pump casing 14, and the pipe end 16 of the long section is connected to the coolant inlet nozzle end 17 of the reactor pressure vessel 10. The pump casing end plane 13 of the cold leg main pipe 15 is perpendicular to the reactor pressure vessel end plane 16.
[0064] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the reactor pressure vessel 10 is provided with a coolant outlet nozzle 9 and a coolant inlet nozzle 18. The nozzle end plane 8 of the coolant outlet nozzle 9 and the nozzle end plane 17 of the coolant inlet nozzle 18 are parallel.
[0065] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, when the distance between the coolant outlet nozzle 9 and the coolant inlet nozzle 18 of the reactor pressure vessel 10 matches the distance between the hot end pump casing nozzle or the hot end elbow nozzle of the steam generator 1 and the cold end pump casing nozzle, the hot leg main pipe 6 can adopt a straight pipe, and the long straight section of the cold leg main pipe 15 can be parallel to the hot leg main pipe 6. The beneficial effect is that the elbow pipe cost can be saved; conversely, if the distance between the coolant outlet nozzle 9 and the coolant inlet nozzle 18 of the reactor pressure vessel 10 does not match the distance between the hot end pump casing nozzle or the hot end elbow nozzle of the steam generator 1 and the cold end pump casing nozzle, the hot leg main pipe 6 and the long section of the cold leg main pipe 15 can adopt elbow pipes.
[0066] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, one end 5 or 7 of the hot leg main pipe 6 and both ends 13 and 16 of the cold leg main pipe 15 are provided with adjustment sections.

[0071] The pipe end 13 of the cold leg main pipe 15 is welded to the cold-end pump casing nozzle end 12 of the cold-end pump casing 14 of the steam generator 1 to form a second weld. The shrinkage of the second weld along the welding direction 19 drives the other end 16 of the cold leg main pipe 15 to move and align with the coolant inlet nozzle end 17 of the reactor pressure vessel 10 for pairing;
