Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nuclear power plant aging sample retention, in particular to a method and system for screening aging sample retention of safety-critical cables in nuclear power plants. Background Art
[0002] There are huge cable systems in nuclear power plants. They are distributed in every corner of the nuclear power plant and play an important role in the safe operation of the nuclear power plant. Due to their large number and wide distribution, cable replacement is a very complex and expensive task, so whether they can continue to maintain their reliability is crucial. In addition, during the 60 to 80-year life of nuclear power plant cables, there is a risk of degradation due to aging mechanisms such as high temperature and radiation. In order to prevent cable failure and effectively manage cables, it is necessary to monitor the cable status and judge the aging status of the cable in combination with the cable life model. Many status monitoring methods are lossy. In addition, non-destructive monitoring of cables in the system may also cause damage due to human error. Samples of this type of cable are retained in the operating environment of the cable. Compared with equivalent aging after simulating the operating environment of the cable in the laboratory, the aging status of the cable is more accurate and economical.
[0003] However, it is still very difficult to screen out key sensitive cables from tens of thousands of cables and arrange them in areas where effective performance data can be obtained, while controlling the number of samples to an economically feasible level. The present invention proposes an effective screening method for nuclear power plant cables. Combining factors such as cable type, cable importance, aging mechanism, and on-site feasibility, it can guide nuclear power plant technicians to smoothly carry out cable aging sample retention work, support subsequent cable aging status evaluation and life prediction, and from a longer-term perspective, accumulate basic data for nuclear power plant life extension and provide evaluation samples.

[0050] Example 1
[0051] Reference Figure 1 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, and provides a method for screening samples of aging important cables for safety in nuclear power plants, comprising the following steps:
[0052] S1. Collect basic information.
[0053] Collecting basic information includes:
[0054] Collect and organize basic information on cable design, manufacturing, laying, and power plant environment information to obtain cable coding rules, cable model list, plant environment, nuclear island radiation zoning, and cable laying information including cable starting / ending point equipment, starting / ending point rooms, length, and cable path information.
[0055] S2. Filter hot rooms based on basic information.
[0056] Screening hotspot rooms include,
[0057] According to the main aging mechanisms of cables in the nuclear island of a nuclear power plant, namely thermal aging and radiation aging, the parameter thresholds (temperature threshold, cumulative radiation dose threshold) of the hot spot area are determined, and then the hot spot rooms that exceed the parameter thresholds are screened and identified based on the plant environment information and nuclear power radiation zoning information.
[0058] In the embodiment, according to the main aging mechanism of the cable aging in the nuclear island of a nuclear power plant, namely, thermal aging and radiation aging, it is determined that the room with a temperature higher than 45°C is a high-temperature hotspot room, and the radiation red zone (irradiation dose rate>100mSv / h) and the orange 2 zone (irradiation dose rate≤100mSv / h, and>10mSv / h) are radiation hotspot rooms. Then, the hotspot rooms exceeding the parameter threshold are screened and identified based on the plant environment information and nuclear power radiation zoning information. 254 hotspot rooms were screened out, including 65 high-temperature and high-irradiation rooms, 91 high-temperature rooms, and 98 high-irradiation rooms.
[0059] S3. Obtain the main tray and the secondary tray that pass through the hot spot room.
[0060] Screening of primary and secondary pallets passing through the hotspot room includes,
[0061] The cable laying bridge of the nuclear power plant is divided into main trays and secondary trays. The relationship between the trays and the rooms will be established according to the coding rules of the main trays and secondary trays, and then the main trays and secondary trays in the hot spot rooms will be identified;
[0062] When the coding rules do not correspond to the rooms, it is necessary to sort out the relationship between pallets and rooms from the pallet layout diagram of each floor.
[0063] The coding of the main cable tray includes the unit number, the plant where it is located, and the floor where the cable tray is located in the plant, etc. The coding of the secondary cable tray includes the unit number, the plant where it is located, and the room number, etc. Due to different coding rules, the main tray and secondary tray passing through the hot spot room need to be screened separately.
[0064] S4. Screen the cable models.
[0065] Screened cable models include,
[0066] The key sensitive cables of concern correspond to cables related to important safety items, including safety-grade cables (i.e., 1E-grade cables), safety-related-grade cables, and cables that still need to perform functions after serious accidents (cables with identification category K(S)).
[0067] It is necessary to establish the relationship between the cable classification information in the nuclear power plant design documents and the cables related to important safety items. For the Hualong One nuclear power unit, attention is paid to cables with functional classifications of F-SC1, F-SC2, F-SC3, or identification category K(S). A total of 127 cable models were screened out.
[0068] S5. The main tray and sub-tray passing through the hotspot room are combined with the cable model to establish a relationship.
[0069] Cables screened through the sub-trays in the hotspot room include,
[0070] According to the laying information in the cable master list exported from the cable laying management software (including the main tray and sub-tray information of the cables), identify the cables laid on the sub-trays in the hotspot rooms. Since there are tens of thousands of cables involved, programming languages such as VBA can be used to help screen them;
[0071] Establishing the relationship between cable models and rooms includes:
[0072] The cable list that passes through the main tray of the hotspot room and the cable list that passes through the secondary tray of the hotspot room are combined to form a total list of key sensitive cables that pass through the hotspot room. Then, the cable models involved are sorted to form a list of key sensitive cable models that pass through the hotspot room.
[0073] According to the relationship between the main tray and sub-tray and the room, the rooms involved in the screened main tray and sub-tray cables and the rooms corresponding to the cable models involved in these cables are established, thereby establishing the association relationship between the key sensitive cable models passing through the hot spot room and the room.
[0074] S6. Determine the cable model and sample storage room.
[0075] Determine the sample cable model and sample room,
[0076] The samples to be retained should cover the material categories and manufacturer categories of all key sensitive cables in high-temperature and high-irradiation hotspot areas;
[0077] Specifically include:
[0078] For cables produced by different manufacturers, set up corresponding sample objects to represent them;
[0079] Cables for different purposes should also be sampled separately;
[0080] For cables of the same type with multiple cross-sectional specifications, cables with representative cross-sectional specifications shall be selected as samples.
[0081] In addition, when a certain type of cable passes through multiple hotspot rooms, a room with a relatively harsh environment and qualified for sampling is selected for sampling. If the room with a relatively harsh environment that the cable passes through does not have the conditions for sampling, a room with a similar or worse environment is selected for sampling. The principle of replacing low with high is adopted here.
[0082] The sample objects should cover the material categories and manufacturer categories of all key sensitive cables in high-temperature and high-irradiation hotspot areas. For cables produced by different manufacturers, try to set up corresponding sample objects to represent them. Cables for different purposes should also be sampled separately, including measuring cables, measuring cables for serious accidents, low-voltage power cables, control cables, etc. For cables of the same type with multiple cross-sectional specifications, cables with representative cross-sectional specifications can be selected as sample objects as appropriate. In addition, when a certain model of cable passes through multiple hotspot rooms, the room with a relatively harsh environment and sample retention conditions is selected for sampling. If the room with a relatively harsh environment that the cable passes through does not have the conditions for sampling, the sample is retained in a room with a similar or worse environment to the room. The principle of high replacing low is adopted here. Based on the above screening principles, 13 types of sample cable models and corresponding sample retention rooms were finally determined.
[0083] In summary, taking into account factors such as cable type, cable importance, aging mechanism, and on-site feasibility, a sample screening method is established to guide nuclear power plant technicians to smoothly carry out cable aging sampling work. At the same time, the number of samples is controlled to an economically feasible level, thereby supporting subsequent cable aging status evaluation and life prediction. From a longer-term perspective, it can also accumulate basic data for nuclear power plant life extension and provide evaluation samples.
