Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nuclear energy technology, specifically relating to a commissioning method for the main steam pipeline system of a sodium-cooled fast reactor. Background Technology

[0002] The CFR600 demonstration fast reactor is a sodium-cooled fast neutron breeder reactor, one of the first units built in the fourth generation of nuclear power technology.

[0003] Unlike current pressurized water reactors, the demonstration fast reactor is a pool-type sodium-cooled fast neutron reactor with a sodium-sodium-water / steam triple loop system for primary heat transfer. Each loop of the triple loop in the demonstration fast reactor has eight once-through steam generator modules, each consisting of one steam generator and one superheater. When a heat transfer tube rupture accident occurs in the steam generator of the sodium-cooled fast reactor, water in the triple loop leaks into the liquid sodium in the secondary loop, triggering a sodium-water reaction. This produces a large amount of hydrogen gas within the affected steam generator, altering the heat transfer efficiency of the reactor's secondary loop and potentially leading to a rise in core temperature. This type of heat transfer tube rupture accident in the steam generator of a sodium-cooled fast reactor is one of the most critical considerations in the design and operation of sodium-cooled fast reactors. After a sodium-water reaction occurs due to a leak in the steam generator's heat transfer tube, the main steam pipeline system of the fast reactor assumes the functions of primary steam isolation and subsequent venting.

[0004] like Figure 1 As shown, the sodium-cooled fast reactor three-loop system includes: generator 1, turbine 2, condenser 3, deaerator 4, bypass valve 5, main feedwater pump 6, steam generator 7, and superheater 8. Generator 1 is connected to turbine 2. Turbine 2 is connected to superheater 8, deaerator 4, and condenser 3 respectively. Superheater 8 is connected to steam generator 7. Steam generator 7 is connected to main feedwater pump 6. Main feedwater pump 6 is connected to deaerator 4 and condenser 3 respectively. Condenser 3 is connected to the second pipeline between turbine 2 and superheater 8 through a first pipeline. A bypass valve 5 is installed on the first pipeline.

[0005] The main steam pipeline system in the fast reactor steam generator module functions to deliver steam generated by steam generator 7 to turbine 2 for power generation. When the steam generated by steam generator 7 cannot meet the inlet steam parameter requirements of turbine 2, or when turbine 2 is shut down, the steam is discharged to the condenser through the turbine 2 bypass valve. The fast reactor main steam pipeline system also serves as an overpressure protection system for steam generator 7. When the main steam pressure rises, the turbine 2 bypass valve, atmospheric release valve, and safety valve are opened sequentially to ensure the safety of steam generator 7. The fast reactor main steam pipeline system discharges heat generated by the reactor under normal operating conditions and accident conditions, but does not perform emergency accident safety heat discharge functions.

[0006] Isolation of main steam pipeline:

[0007] —The quick isolation valve should be designed to close within 3 seconds of receiving an isolation signal.

[0008] —The downstream electric isolation valve of the fast isolation valve should be designed to close within 15 seconds after receiving an isolation signal.

[0009] Overpressure protection:

[0010] —Each steam generator module is equipped with 3 safety valves and 2 atmospheric release valves.

[0011] The main steam pipeline system of the fast reactor is a newly designed process system, and its functions need to be commissioned before it is officially put into operation. However, the design manual and related literature for the main steam pipeline system of the fast reactor do not provide specific instructions on how to conduct commissioning tests, nor do they provide any instructions on the commissioning requirements of the system. Summary of the Invention

[0012] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to address the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art by providing a commissioning method for the main steam pipeline system of a sodium-cooled fast reactor, which comprehensively and efficiently verifies the function of the main steam pipeline system of the sodium-cooled fast reactor.

[0013] The technical solution adopted to solve the technical problem of this invention is to provide a commissioning method for the main steam pipeline system of a sodium-cooled fast reactor. The main steam pipeline system includes: a steam generator of the sodium-cooled fast reactor, a superheater of the sodium-cooled fast reactor, a first main steam pipeline, a second main steam pipeline, an atmospheric discharge pipeline, a first branch pipeline, a second branch pipeline, a quick isolation valve, an electrically operated isolation valve, an atmospheric release valve, and a main steam safety valve. The steam generator and the superheater are connected through the first main steam pipeline. The superheater is used to dehumidify the steam discharged from the steam generator to obtain dehumidified steam. The superheater outlet is connected to the second main steam pipeline. The quick isolation valve and the electrically operated isolation valve are installed on the second main steam pipeline, with the quick isolation valve upstream of the electrically operated isolation valve. The atmospheric discharge pipeline is installed on the first main steam pipeline. The first branch pipeline is installed on the atmospheric discharge pipeline. The second branch pipeline is installed on the atmospheric discharge pipeline. The first branch pipeline is equipped with an atmospheric release valve and a main steam safety valve, and the second branch pipeline is equipped with an atmospheric release valve and a main steam safety valve. The commissioning method includes the following steps:

[0014] Based on the functions of the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system, the equipment in the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system that needs to be commissioned was selected;

[0015] Based on the equipment that needs to be commissioned in the main steam pipeline system of the sodium-cooled fast reactor, conduct performance analysis on the equipment and determine the commissioning test items and contents to be performed for each piece of equipment;

[0016] Determine the technical requirements and sequence of commissioning tests to be performed on each device.

[0018] Preferably, the performance analysis of the equipment required for commissioning of the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system includes the following steps:

[0019] Performance analysis of the main steam quick isolation valve: Based on the fact that the quick isolation valve closes within the first preset time after receiving the isolation signal when the steam generator leaks or the first main steam pipeline breaks, the main steam quick isolation valve is determined to be debugged.

[0020] Performance analysis of the electric isolation valve: Based on the fact that the electric isolation valve closes within a second preset time after receiving an isolation signal, the electric isolation valve is determined for testing.

[0021] Performance analysis of the atmospheric release valve: Based on the failure of the turbine bypass system connected to the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system and / or the sudden closure of the fast isolation valve, if the pressure in the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system exceeds the set pressure of the atmospheric release valve, steam will be discharged to the atmosphere through the atmospheric release valve to limit the pressure of the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system below the opening pressure of the main steam safety valve, thus preventing the main steam safety valve from opening. In the event of steam generator leakage (sodium water accident), the atmospheric release valve will be opened to quickly depressurize the module and discharge the steam on the sodium-cooled fast reactor third loop system side connected to the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system to the atmosphere to mitigate the consequences of the accident. The atmospheric release valve needs to be adjusted accordingly.

[0022] Performance analysis of the main steam safety valve: The main steam safety valve is used for overpressure protection of the steam pipeline on the third loop system side of the sodium-cooled fast reactor connected to the main steam pipeline system of the steam generator. When the atmospheric relief valve fails, steam is discharged to the atmosphere through the main steam safety valve to control the pressure value in the steam generator so that it does not exceed the design pressure of the steam generator. The main steam safety valve is then determined for commissioning.

[0023] Preferably, the atmospheric emission pipeline includes: a first atmospheric emission pipeline and a second atmospheric emission pipeline.

[0028] Subsystem tests include: electric isolation valve test, main steam safety valve pressure setpoint test, quick isolation valve control test, and atmospheric release valve test;

[0029] The system's comprehensive performance debugging test includes: comprehensive test of electric isolation valve, comprehensive test of fast isolation valve, and comprehensive test of atmospheric release valve.

[0030] Preferably, the instrumentation and measurement channel test is to test the performance of the instruments of the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system and the sensors and actuators of the control unit of the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system, and to verify that the hardware and software meet the requirements.

[0031] The logic control channel test is used to test the performance of the actuators and contactors, as well as the signal processing, of the instrumentation and control units of the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system.

[0032] Valve performance testing involves checking the operation of valve limit switches, valve stem travel, operating time, and fail-safe position of valves in the main steam pipeline system of a sodium-cooled fast reactor under fluid-free conditions.

[0033] Preferably, the electric isolation valve test verifies the automatic operation and related alarms of the electric isolation valve;

[0034] The main steam safety valve pressure setting test is to check the correct operation and sealing of the main steam safety valve, and whether the displacement sensor signal of the main steam safety valve of the sodium-cooled fast reactor is correct.

[0035] The quick isolation valve control test verifies the operability of the quick isolation valve;

[0036] The atmospheric release valve test verifies the open-loop regulation characteristics of the atmospheric release valve during the cold-state performance test phase.

[0037] Preferably, the specific method for determining the commissioning sequence of the commissioning tests to be performed on each device is as follows:

[0038] First, perform the pressure setting test of the main steam safety valve, then perform the control test of the fast isolation valve and the automatic test of the electric isolation valve.

[0039] Preferably, the system comprehensive performance commissioning test is conducted after the generator unit connected to the main steam pipeline of the sodium-cooled fast reactor is fueled and the steam generator is in steam operation mode. This verifies the automatic operation of the fast isolation valve and the electric isolation valve and related alarms, checks that the atmospheric release valve is correctly adjusted, and maintains the steam generator pressure at the specified value.

[0040] Preferably, the specific method for determining the commissioning sequence of the commissioning tests to be performed on each device is as follows:

The adoption of these commissioning technical requirements will be able to comprehensively and efficiently verify the function of the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system, and provide a strong guarantee to ensure that the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system can fully perform its functions in the event of a sodium-water accident.

[0057] The commissioning method for the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system in this embodiment, under the premise of ensuring nuclear safety and the safety of personnel and equipment in the sodium-cooled fast reactor nuclear power plant, analyzes the design characteristics of the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system and the actual needs of system commissioning. It provides a detailed description of the commissioning technical requirements for the system. The adoption of these commissioning technical requirements will be able to comprehensively and efficiently verify the function of the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system, and provide a strong guarantee to ensure that the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system can fully perform its functions in the event of a sodium water accident.

[0058] Example 2

[0059] This embodiment provides a commissioning method for the main steam pipeline system of a sodium-cooled fast reactor, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the main steam pipeline system of the sodium-cooled fast reactor includes: a steam generator 7, a superheater 8, a first main steam pipeline 9, a second main steam pipeline 10, an atmospheric discharge pipeline, a first branch pipeline, a second branch pipeline, a quick isolation valve 14, an electrically operated isolation valve 15, an atmospheric release valve, and a main steam safety valve. The steam generator 7 and the superheater 8 are connected through the first main steam pipeline 9. The superheater 8 is used to dehumidify the steam discharged from the steam generator 7 to obtain dehumidified steam. The outlet of the superheater 8 is connected to the second main steam pipeline 10. The quick isolation valve 14 and the electrically operated isolation valve 15 are installed on the second main steam pipeline 10, with the quick isolation valve 14 upstream of the electrically operated isolation valve 15. The atmospheric discharge pipeline is installed on the first main steam pipeline 9. The first branch pipeline is installed on the atmospheric discharge pipeline, and the second branch pipeline is installed on the atmospheric discharge pipeline. The first branch pipeline is equipped with an atmospheric release valve and a main steam safety valve, and the second branch pipeline is equipped with an atmospheric release valve and a main steam safety valve. The commissioning method includes the following steps:

[0060] (1) Based on the function of the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system, select the equipment that needs to be commissioned in the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system;

[0061] The main function of the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system is:

[0062] Steam generated by steam generator 7 is sent to the steam turbine for power generation. When the steam generated by steam generator 7 cannot meet the steam inlet parameters of the steam turbine or when the steam turbine is shut down, the steam is discharged through the steam turbine bypass valve. This system plays the role of overpressure protection for steam generator 7. When the main steam pressure rises, the steam generator 7 is ensured to be safe by opening the steam turbine bypass valve, the atmospheric release valve of the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system and the main steam safety valve in sequence.

[0063] The main steam pipeline system of the sodium-cooled fast reactor discharges the heat generated by the reactor under normal operating conditions and accident conditions of the power plant, but does not undertake the function of emergency accident safety heat discharge.

[0064] After a sodium-water reaction occurs due to a leak in the heat transfer pipe of steam generator 7, this system undertakes the functions of main steam isolation (achieved through quick isolation valve 14 and electric isolation valve 15) and subsequent steam exhaust.

[0065] The main equipment of the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system includes a fast isolation valve 14, an electrically operated isolation valve 15, an atmospheric release valve, and a main steam safety valve.

[0066] (2) Based on the equipment that needs to be commissioned in the main steam pipeline system of the sodium-cooled fast reactor, conduct performance analysis on the equipment and determine the commissioning test items and contents to be performed for each piece of equipment.

[0067] Specifically, by analyzing the functions and performance of the main steam pipeline system of the sodium-cooled fast reactor, the test content of the main steam pipeline system of the sodium-cooled fast reactor was determined.

[0068] (3) Determine the technical requirements and sequence of the commissioning tests to be performed on each device.

[0069] After the main steam pipeline system of the sodium-cooled fast reactor was installed, it entered the commissioning phase, and the system commissioning verified that its performance met the design requirements.

[0070] When steam generator 7 leaks, the quick isolation valve 14 closes within 3 seconds of receiving the isolation signal, and the electrically operated isolation valve 15 closes within 15 seconds of receiving the isolation signal, participating in the isolation of steam generator 7. The atmospheric release valve opens, releasing steam and water from the third loop side to the atmosphere, thereby reducing the pressure inside the isolated steam generator 7 and protecting it. The main steam safety valve is an overpressure protection device for the steam pipelines (within the module) of steam generator 7 and the sodium-cooled fast reactor third loop system. When the atmospheric release valve fails, steam can be released to the atmosphere through the main steam safety valve to control the pressure inside steam generator 7 and ensure it does not exceed the design pressure of steam generator 7.

[0071] Because the sodium-cooled fast reactor (NSCR) main steam pipeline system is a newly designed system, there is currently no method for commissioning it, leading to increased difficulty and workload in the commissioning process. To ensure the smooth and orderly commissioning of the NSCR main steam pipeline system, this embodiment proposes a commissioning method for the NSCR main steam pipeline system, verifying that its performance meets design requirements and performance standards. This method is based on the design characteristics of the NSCR main steam pipeline system. By analyzing the system's various functions and configurations, it designs the commissioning test items to be carried out, the specific implementation plan and content of the commissioning tests, the acceptance criteria for each test, and the logical sequence of execution between them.

[0072] This embodiment comprehensively verifies that the design, manufacture, and installation of the entire system meet the design requirements and system performance standards by analyzing and designing reasonable and complete test items and accurate and easy-to-judge acceptance criteria. This ensures that the system can assume the main steam isolation and subsequent exhaust functions after the sodium-water reaction occurs due to leakage in the heat transfer pipe of steam generator 7.

[0073] There are design differences between fast reactors and current pressurized water reactors. The hot functional test conditions for fast reactors differ significantly from those for pressurized water reactors. During the hot functional test of a fast reactor, there is no steam in the third loop, while in a pressurized water reactor, steam is present in the second loop. The closing time of the isolation valves in the steam line of a pressurized water reactor can be verified during the hot functional test, but this is not suitable for fast reactors. Current pressurized water reactor commissioning experience is not applicable to the main steam line system of fast reactors. To ensure the safe operation of the main steam line system, the commissioning content of the main steam line system should be scientifically analyzed to ensure its functionality can be verified. The main steam line system of fast reactors increases the difficulty and workload of commissioning, particularly impacting the unit commissioning schedule, manpower, material resources, financial investment, and testing risks.

[0074] This embodiment is based on the main functions and design features of the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system. By analyzing the various configurations and functions of the system, the specific content of its commissioning technical requirements is determined.

[0075] Preferably, the equipment in the selected sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system that needs to be commissioned is the fast isolation valve 14, the electric isolation valve 15, the atmospheric release valve, and the main steam safety valve.

[0076] Preferably, the performance analysis of the equipment required for commissioning of the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system includes the following steps:

[0077] Performance analysis of the main steam quick isolation valve 14: Based on the fact that when the steam generator 7 leaks or the first main steam pipeline 9 breaks, the quick isolation valve 14 will close within a first preset time after receiving the isolation signal to prevent the accident from escalating, the main steam quick isolation valve 14 is to be adjusted; the first preset time is 3 seconds.

[0078] Performance analysis of the electric isolation valve 15: Based on the fact that the electric isolation valve 15 closes within a second preset time after receiving the isolation signal, the electric isolation valve 15 is determined to be debugged; the second preset time is 15 seconds.

[0079] Performance analysis of the atmospheric release valve: Based on the failure of the turbine bypass system connected to the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system and / or the sudden closure of the fast isolation valve 14, if the pressure in the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system exceeds the set pressure of the atmospheric release valve, steam will be discharged to the atmosphere through the atmospheric release valve to limit the pressure of the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system below the opening pressure of the main steam safety valve, thus preventing the main steam safety valve from opening. In the event of leakage in the steam generator 7 (sodium water accident), the atmospheric release valve will be opened to quickly depressurize the module and discharge the steam on the sodium-cooled fast reactor third loop system side connected to the sodium-cooled fast reactor main steam pipeline system to the atmosphere to mitigate the consequences of the accident. The atmospheric release valve needs to be adjusted accordingly.

[0080] Performance analysis of the main steam safety valve: Based on the fact that the main steam safety valve is used for overpressure protection of the steam pipeline on the third loop system side of the sodium-cooled fast reactor connected to the main steam pipeline system of the steam generator 7, when the atmospheric release valve fails, steam is discharged to the atmosphere through the main steam safety valve to control the pressure value in the steam generator 7 so that it does not exceed the design pressure of the steam generator 7, the main steam safety valve is determined and commissioned.

[0081] like Figure 2 As shown, preferably, the atmospheric emission pipeline includes: a first atmospheric emission pipeline 18 and a second atmospheric emission pipeline 19.

The second atmospheric emission pipeline 19 is located on the first main steam pipeline 9 near the superheater 8, and the distance between the connection point of the second atmospheric emission pipeline 19 and the first main steam pipeline 9 and the inlet of the superheater 8 is a preset second distance. The first branch pipeline includes: a first branch 20 and a second branch 21. The first branch 20 is located on the first atmospheric emission pipeline 18, and the second branch 21 is located on the second atmospheric emission pipeline 19.

The preliminary tests are conducted during the cold performance test phase, which is a test at room temperature.

[0086] Subsystem tests include: electric isolation valve 15 test, main steam safety valve pressure setpoint test, quick isolation valve 14 control test, and atmospheric release valve test. The atmospheric release valve test is conducted during the cold-state performance test phase, while the other subsystem tests are conducted during the hot-state performance test phase. The hot-state performance test verifies the performance of each device under operating conditions that are as close as possible to actual temperature, pressure, and flow rate. The atmospheric release valve test will result in nitrogen loss; therefore, it is scheduled to be conducted during the cold-state performance test phase.
