Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of nuclear power plant nuclear reactor maintenance tools, in particular to a nuclear power plant reactor neutron temperature measurement channel pulling tool. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the 163 groups of fuel assemblies in the reactor core of the 1-4 VVER unit reactor of the Tianwan nuclear power plant, according to the core monitoring requirements, 54 neutron temperature measurement channels are installed for real-time monitoring of the neutron flux density and coolant temperature of the reactor core. During normal operation of the unit, the 54 neutron temperature measurement channels are always installed in the core. During the overhaul of the unit, before the start of core unloading, manual pulling out of the neutron temperature measurement channels is carried out. The specific operation process is as follows: the workers lower 54 nylon ropes with 7.8-meter bound lifting lugs to the second platform of the protection tube assembly, and fix the tail end of the nylon rope at the first platform of the protection tube assembly. Workers go down to the second and third layers of the protection tube assembly transportation platform to fix the lifting lugs and nylon ropes on the neutron temperature measurement channel body. Personnel pull out the neutron temperature measurement channel by hand through the first and second platforms, and then fix the pulled-out measurement channel at the first layer of the protection tube assembly transportation platform.

[0003] In the process of manually pulling out the neutron temperature measurement channel, the following problems exist:

[0004] 1. The neutron temperature measurement channel is pulled out by manpower, and due to the high environmental dose, multiple groups of personnel are required to complete the work;

[0005] 2. In order to realize the fixation of the special lifting lug and the neutron temperature measurement channel, each lifting lug is fixed by three fixed bolts from three different directions, and there is a risk of loose fixation and foreign matter falling off;

[0006] 3. Personnel need to use 54 special lifting lugs to fix the 54 neutron temperature measurement channels, and each lifting lug has three fixed bolts, so to complete the fixation of all 54 neutron temperature measurement channels, 162 fixed bolts need to be fixed, which is relatively cumbersome and time-consuming for manual operation;

[0007] 4. In order to ensure the firm fixation of the lifting lug and the neutron temperature measurement channel, a special small wrench is used to tighten the fixed bolt, which has the risk of accidental falling of the special small wrench and generation of foreign matter;

[0008] 5. All fixed nylon ropes are scrapped after single use, generating a large amount of radioactive waste;

[0009] Through the summary feedback of the current neutron temperature measurement channel pulling, the above prominent problems need to be solved by taking optimization improvement measures, optimizing the pulling of the neutron temperature measurement channel, replacing the binding equipment, realizing the reuse of the binding equipment, and realizing the neutron temperature measurement channel pulling tool instead of manual operation.
