[0002] Being able to cope with and mitigate the core melt accident is a typical feature of the third generation reactor, and the third generation reactor "Hualong No. 1" independently developed by China adopts a molten core retention strategy to cope with the core melt accident. At present, Hualong No. 1 uses a pit water injection system to achieve molten core retention, and the water injected into the pit cools the lower head wall to prevent the lower head from being melted through.

[0039] Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0040] In order to have a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives and effects of the present application, the specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0041] Embodiments of the Invention Embodiments
[0042] Reference Figure 1The nuclear power plant molten core retention system of the embodiment includes an ex-vessel water injection system and an in-vessel water injection system. The ex-vessel water injection system is used to inject water into the reactor 10 in a severe accident phase of the reactor 10, which means to inject water into the reactor and to immerse the pressure vessel in water. The in-vessel water injection system is used to inject water into the reactor 10 in a severe accident phase of the reactor 10, which means to inject water into the pressure vessel of the reactor. The water used by the in-vessel water injection system is boron-containing water. The abnormality of the reactor 10 means that the detection system detects a severe accident signal, and the water injection is started after the detection of the severe accident signal.
[0043] The in-vessel water injection system of the nuclear power plant molten core retention system of the embodiment includes a high-pressure water tank 20 for storing inert gas and boron-containing water. The outlet of the high-pressure water tank 20 is connected to the first end of a first check valve V9 through a pipeline, and the second end of the first check valve V9 is connected to the in-vessel of the reactor 10 through a pipeline. The system is an automatic operation system. The pressure of the inert gas in the high-pressure water tank 20 is greater than the standard atmospheric pressure. When the reactor system is normally operated, the pressure in the pressure vessel is greater than the pressure in the pressurized water tank. Because the first check valve V9 exists, the coolant in the pressure vessel will not flow back to the pressurized water tank. In a severe accident condition, the primary loop of the reactor is depressurized, which causes the pressure in the in-vessel of the reactor 10 to gradually decrease. When the pressure in the in-vessel of the reactor 10 is less than the pressure at the first end of the first check valve V9, the high-pressure water tank 20 starts to inject boron-containing water into the in-vessel of the reactor 10, and then injects the inert gas in the high-pressure water tank 20. Because water injection into the in-vessel will produce hydrogen, in order to prevent a secondary accident, the embodiment uses inert gas mixed with hydrogen to avoid explosion and improve safety. Alternatively, the inert gas can be low-cost nitrogen, and other inert gases can also be selected.
[0044] Alternatively, in the nuclear power plant molten core retention system of the embodiment, an electric valve V8 is arranged on the pipeline between the outlet of the high-pressure water tank 20 and the first check valve V9. The electric valve V8 is in a normally open state. The electric valve V8 is closed when the reactor 10 is repaired to prevent the system from being automatically put into operation.
[0045] Alternatively, in the nuclear power plant molten core retention system of the embodiment, the pressure of the inert gas in the high-pressure water tank 20 ranges from 0.1 MPa to 2 MPa.
[0046] Alternatively, in the nuclear power plant molten corium in-vessel retention system of the embodiment, the inner diameter of the pipe between the outlet of the high-pressure water tank 20 and the first end of the first check valve V9 and the pipe between the second end of the first check valve V9 and the in-vessel of the reactor 10 ranges from 50 mm to 80 mm. In the embodiment, since the existing IVR water tank is used for simultaneous water injection into the pit and the in-vessel, the water volume of the IVR water tank is limited, and the pipe with a diameter greater than 80 mm is used for water injection, which can only sustain a short time of water injection. Therefore, after the water injection is stopped, the core melting process restarts, and the size of the molten pool quickly rises to the level without water injection. The pipe with a diameter less than 50 mm is used for water injection, which can provide a longer time of continuous cooling, but the cooling effect is not obvious due to the small injection flow, and the effect on reducing the size of the molten pool is also small. Therefore, from the effect of the in-vessel water injection on the molten pool, the water injection with a diameter of 50 mm to 80 mm is the optimal choice. Under this diameter, the water injection delayed for 0-50 minutes has the most obvious effect on reducing the size of the molten pool.
[0047] Alternatively, in the nuclear power plant molten corium in-vessel retention system of the embodiment, the lowest point of the high-pressure water tank 20 is higher than the highest point of the reactor 10.
[0048] Alternatively, the nuclear power plant molten corium in-vessel retention system of the embodiment further comprises a refueling water tank 30 connected to the inlet pipe of the high-pressure water tank 20, and the refueling water tank 30 stores boron-containing water; an electric pump P1 and an electric valve V11 are arranged on the pipe between the inlet of the high-pressure water tank 20 and the refueling water tank 30, and the refueling water tank 30 is used to supplement the boron-containing water in the high-pressure water tank 20. The nuclear power plant molten corium in-vessel retention system of the embodiment only needs a battery-driven electric valve, and the entire water injection process is passive and can continue to operate under the condition of full plant power failure. The electric valve V11 is in a normally closed state, and the electric pump P1 and the electric valve V11 are opened to inject water into the high-pressure water tank 20 after 12 hours of the occurrence of a severe accident (according to the operation regulations of the nuclear power plant, the mobile power supply is in place 6 hours after the accident occurs). The air inlet of the high-pressure water tank 20 is connected to an inert gas storage tank (not shown in the figure), and the inert gas storage tank is used to inject inert gas into the high-pressure water tank 20.
[0049] In the nuclear power plant molten corium in-vessel retention system of the embodiment, the ex-vessel water injection system comprises a high-level atmospheric water tank 40, an electric valve V4 and a second check valve V6, the lowest point of the high-level atmospheric water tank 40 is higher than the highest point of the reactor 10, and thus the water in the high-level atmospheric water tank 40 can enter the pit without power supply, thereby avoiding the situation that the reactor cannot be injected with water due to the lack of power supply after an accident occurs. Alternatively, the water in the high-level atmospheric water tank 40 of the nuclear power plant molten corium in-vessel retention system of the embodiment is boron-containing water. The bottom water outlet of the high-level atmospheric water tank 40 is connected to the first end of the electric valve V4 through a pipeline, the second end of the electric valve V4 is connected to the first end of the second check valve V6 through a pipeline, and the second end of the second check valve V6 is connected to the outside of the reactor 10 through a pipeline. The electric valve V4 is in a closed state when the reactor 10 is in normal operation, and is opened when the outlet temperature of the reactor 10 exceeds 650°C. After the electric valve V4 is opened, the water in the high-level atmospheric water tank 40 is injected into the outside of the reactor 10.
[0050] Alternatively, the nuclear power plant molten corium in-vessel retention system of the embodiment further comprises a standby electric valve V5, the first end of the standby electric valve V5 is connected to the first end of the electric valve V4 through a pipeline, and the second end of the standby electric valve V5 is connected to the second end of the electric valve V4 through a pipeline. The standby electric valve V5 is in a closed state when the reactor 10 is in normal operation, and is opened after the electric valve V4 is opened when the outlet temperature of the reactor 10 exceeds 650°C. If the electric valve V4 fails to be opened, the standby electric valve V5 is opened, and the water in the high-level atmospheric water tank 40 is injected into the outside of the reactor 10.
[0051] Alternatively, the nuclear power plant molten corium in-vessel retention system of the embodiment further comprises a stop valve V7 arranged on the pipeline between the second end of the second check valve V6 and the outside of the reactor 10, and the stop valve V7 is used to terminate water injection when mis-injection occurs.
[0052] Alternatively, the high-level atmospheric water tank 40 of the nuclear power plant molten corium in-vessel retention system of the embodiment comprises at least two bottom water outlets, each bottom water outlet is connected to the first end of the electric valve V4 through a pipeline, and an electric valve is arranged on the pipeline of each bottom water outlet. All the electric valves are in a closed state when the reactor 10 is in normal operation, and are opened when the outlet temperature of the reactor 10 exceeds 650°C.
[0053] As an option, after detecting the severe accident signal, the high-level normal-pressure water tank 40 needs to be started, and the reactor pit is quickly filled with water within 20-120 minutes, at which time the water injection flow rate is required to be large. After the reactor pit is filled with water, the water in the reactor pit will decrease due to evaporation, at which time the water in the reactor pit needs to be continuously injected to maintain the liquid level required for natural circulation. Because the water tank has a limited volume, in order to improve the severe accident mitigation capability of the system, the water injection flow rate needs to be matched with the evaporation amount. Therefore, in the molten material in-vessel retention system of the nuclear power plant in this embodiment, the pipe opening of each bottom water outlet corresponding pipe extends into the interior of the high-level normal-pressure water tank 40, the pipe openings of the pipes of each bottom water outlet corresponding pipe have different extension heights, that is, the pipe openings of the pipes of multiple bottom water outlet corresponding pipes are distributed at different heights, the pipe openings of the pipes of different bottom water outlet corresponding pipes are distributed at different heights, and the water amount above the pipe opening of the pipe with the highest extension height is equal to the free volume of the reactor pit of the reactor 10. At the beginning of water injection, all the bottom water outlets simultaneously inject water, and the reactor pit is quickly filled with water within 20-120 minutes; after the reactor pit is filled with water, the water level of the high-level normal-pressure water tank 40 decreases below the pipe opening of the pipe with the highest extension height, and then the water injection amount is correspondingly reduced. In this way, as the water level in the high-level normal-pressure water tank 40 decreases, the pipe openings that can inject water are fewer and fewer, and the water injection amount is gradually smaller, so as to adapt to the decrease of the evaporation amount and maintain the balance of the water in the reactor pit.
[0054] For example, the high-level normal-pressure water tank 40 includes three bottom water outlets, the pipe between the first bottom water outlet and the first end of the electric valve V4 is provided with the electric valve V1, the pipe between the second bottom water outlet and the first end of the electric valve V4 is provided with the electric valve V2, and the pipe between the third bottom water outlet and the first end of the electric valve V4 is provided with the electric valve V3. The electric valves V1, V2 and V3 are in a closed state during normal operation of the reactor 10, and are opened after the outlet temperature of the reactor core of the reactor 10 exceeds 650°C. The corresponding pipe of the first bottom water outlet has no extension in the high-level normal-pressure water tank 40, the corresponding pipe of the third bottom water outlet has a higher extension height in the high-level normal-pressure water tank 40 than the corresponding pipe of the second bottom water outlet, and the water amount above the pipe opening of the corresponding pipe of the third bottom water outlet is equal to the free volume of the reactor pit of the reactor 10. At the beginning of water injection, the first bottom water outlet, the second bottom water outlet and the third bottom water outlet simultaneously inject water quickly, and the reactor pit is flooded in a short time. After the reactor pit is filled with water, the pipe opening of the corresponding pipe of the third bottom water outlet is exposed, and only the first bottom water outlet and the second bottom water outlet can inject water simultaneously, so that the water injection speed is relatively reduced; after a period of time, the water evaporation amount is further reduced, and only the first bottom water outlet can inject water, so that the water injection speed is further reduced.
[0055] Alternatively, the nuclear power plant molten corium in-vessel retention system of the embodiment further comprises a refueling water tank 30 connected to the water inlet pipe of the high-level atmospheric water tank 40, and an electric pump P1 and an electric valve V10 are arranged on the pipe between the water inlet of the high-level atmospheric water tank 40 and the refueling water tank 30, and the refueling water tank 30 is used to supplement water into the high-level atmospheric water tank 40. Alternatively, the water in the refueling water tank 30 is boron-containing water. The electric valve V10 is in a normally closed state, and the electric pump P1 and the electric valve V10 are opened to inject water into the high-level atmospheric water tank 40 after a period of time, for example, 12 hours, after the severe accident occurs.
[0056] Alternatively, all the electric valves in the nuclear power plant molten corium in-vessel retention system of the embodiment are powered by an uninterruptible power supply, that is, the electric valve V1, the electric valve V2, the electric valve V3, the electric valve V4, the electric valve V5, the electric valve V8, the electric valve V10, and the electric valve V11 are powered by an uninterruptible power supply.
[0057] After the in-vessel and out-of-vessel water injection of the embodiment, the time when the lower head molten pool of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) of the nuclear power plant reaches the maximum decay heat is delayed by about 8 hours compared with the condition without in-vessel water injection, and the decay heat is also reduced by nearly 30%. The heat flux density of the condition with in-vessel water injection is greatly reduced compared with the condition without in-vessel water injection, and the peak value is reduced by more than 30%, greatly increasing the safety margin of IVR. The calculation results show that after the in-vessel water injection is completed, even if the core melting process restarts, the total amount of in-vessel molten material does not decrease because of the in-vessel water injection, but because the time process is greatly delayed, the decay heat is also greatly reduced, so the heat flux density of the molten pool heat transfer is reduced, and the safety margin is increased from 10% to about 50%. The embodiment can significantly improve the safety performance of the reactor.
