Background Art

It uses graphite-coated fuel balls, and the core also uses graphite as a moderator. Therefore, the pressure vessel of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor must prevent the entry of oxygen and water vapor to avoid redox reactions with graphite to generate flammable and explosive gases. Especially under the beyond-design basis accident conditions where non-isolated breaches occur at the upper and lower parts of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor primary loop system (feed pipe and discharge pipe), the formed flow channel will allow a large amount of oxygen to enter the reactor pressure vessel, causing more serious consequences. In order to avoid the occurrence of the above accident sequence, an effective method is to quickly control the oxygen concentration in the ambient air in the area where the pipe breaks, and reduce the oxygen concentration to a safe range by quickly injecting a large amount of nitrogen.

[0003] In order to achieve the above-mentioned goals, a set of accident mitigation measures unique to high-temperature gas-cooled reactors was designed - a nitrogen production and oxygen control system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] The nitrogen production and oxygen control system is divided into two subsystems: a large-flow nitrogen injection system and a small-flow nitrogen injection system. The large-flow nitrogen injection system includes a large-flow nitrogen supply system 1 and an exhaust purification system 2. The large-flow nitrogen supply system includes a liquid nitrogen tank group 3 and an electric ball valve 4 at its outlet, a buffer tank 5, a pressure reducing valve 6, a check valve 7, 6 manual stop valves 8, 11 flow meters 9, 17 electric regulating valves 10, and a nitrogen pipeline 11. The exhaust purification system includes an iodine adsorber 12, 2 centrifugal fans 13, 4 electric air duct sealing valves 14, 2 air duct regulating valves 15, 1 air duct flow meter 16, and an exhaust duct 17. The small-flow nitrogen injection system includes 3 nitrogen production systems 18 and 3 nitrogen return air systems 19. Each nitrogen production system includes a set of complete nitrogen production equipment 20, a set of pressure reducing valves 6, an electric regulating valve 10, a check valve 7, a set of flow meters 9, and a nitrogen pipeline 11. Each set of complete nitrogen production equipment includes an air compressor unit 22, a wet air buffer tank 23, a dry purification unit 24, an activated carbon filter 25, a dry air buffer tank 26, a nitrogen production unit 27, a nitrogen process tank 28, a nitrogen storage tank 29, and a nitrogen production equipment connecting pipe 30. Each nitrogen return system includes an electric regulating valve 10, two manual stop valves 8, two flow meters 9, a three-way connector 21, and a nitrogen pipeline 11.

[0019] Operation function of large-flow nitrogen injection system: The large-flow nitrogen injection system adopts the airflow design scheme of middle inflation and lower exhaust. Under the beyond-design basis accident conditions, the area where the primary circuit pipe break accident occurs is located in the reactor pressure vessel compartment (the compartment where the feed pipe is located) and the main circulation compartment for loading and unloading (the compartment where the discharge pipe is located). After the large-flow nitrogen injection system is put into operation, the initial nitrogen concentration environment of the above compartments can be quickly established (the nitrogen concentration is not less than 95%), and at the same time, the oxygen concentration in the internal environment of the reactor building is reduced to a safe concentration range (the oxygen concentration is reduced to below 12.5%) to prevent a large amount of oxygen from entering the reactor pressure vessel core. By setting the difference between the exhaust volume of the exhaust purification system and the nitrogen supply volume of the large-flow nitrogen supply system, the reactor building is maintained in a relatively negative pressure state to prevent the release of radioactive substances to the outdoor environment. After the large-flow nitrogen injection system creates the initial nitrogen concentration environment of the reactor building, the large-flow nitrogen injection system is shut down, and then the small-flow nitrogen injection system is turned on.

[0020] Operation function of small flow nitrogen injection system: The small flow nitrogen injection system adopts the airflow design scheme of middle filling and lower exhaust. Through the continuous operation of the small flow nitrogen injection system, the nitrogen concentration in the reactor building is continuously increased and maintained. By setting the difference between the nitrogen production volume of the nitrogen production system and the return volume of the nitrogen return system, the reactor building is maintained in a relatively positive pressure state to prevent the entry of oxygen in the indoor atmosphere. The system equipment, valves, pipelines and their supports and hangers can withstand earthquakes that cause safe shutdown.

[0021] The nitrogen production and oxygen control system is divided into two subsystems: a large-flow nitrogen injection system and a small-flow nitrogen injection system. The large-flow nitrogen injection system adopts an airflow design scheme of middle inflation and lower exhaust. Under the beyond-design basis accident conditions, the area where the primary circuit pipe break accident occurs is located in the reactor pressure vessel compartment (the compartment where the feed pipe is located) and the main circulation compartment for loading and unloading (the compartment where the unloading pipe is located). After the large-flow nitrogen injection system is put into operation, the initial nitrogen concentration environment of the above compartments can be quickly established (the nitrogen concentration is not less than 95%), and at the same time, the oxygen concentration in the internal environment of the reactor building is reduced to a safe concentration range (the oxygen concentration is reduced to below 12.5%), preventing a large amount of oxygen from entering the reactor pressure vessel core. By setting the difference between the exhaust volume of the exhaust purification system and the nitrogen supply volume of the large-flow nitrogen supply system, the reactor building is maintained in a relatively negative pressure state to prevent the release of radioactive substances to the outdoor environment. After the large-flow nitrogen injection system creates the initial nitrogen concentration environment of the reactor building, the large-flow nitrogen injection system is shut down, and then the small-flow nitrogen injection system is turned on. The small-flow nitrogen injection system adopts the airflow design scheme of middle filling and lower exhaust. Through the continuous operation of the small-flow nitrogen injection system, the nitrogen concentration in the reactor building environment is continuously increased and maintained. By setting the difference between the nitrogen production volume of the nitrogen production system and the return volume of the nitrogen return system, the reactor building is maintained in a relatively positive pressure state to prevent the entry of oxygen from the indoor atmospheric environment.

[0022] Operation plan of large-flow nitrogen supply system: When the above-design basis accident conditions occur, the electric ball valve downstream of the liquid nitrogen tank (normally closed) is opened in sequence, and the liquid nitrogen is depressurized, expanded and gasified and enters the buffer tank. After being depressurized by a set of pressure reducing valves (reduced to 1MPa), the nitrogen enters the reactor building through the nitrogen main pipeline. The main road is also equipped with a manual stop valve (for flow regulation during the commissioning phase), a check valve (to prevent nitrogen backflow), a set of flow meters (for nitrogen supply monitoring), and an electric regulating valve (opened when the system is running, used for flow regulation during the operation phase, normally closed, and set outside the reactor building boundary to ensure the integrity of the reactor building pressure boundary). After the nitrogen enters the reactor building, it enters the nitrogen loop that is symmetrically arranged relative to the C-type building layout of the reactor building. The nitrogen loop is equipped with 13 branches, of which 3 branches supply nitrogen to the reactor building, with an angle of 120° between them, and a normally open manual stop valve (for flow adjustment during the commissioning stage) is set at the end; 10 branches are connected to 10 reactor pressure vessel cabins and the main circulation cabin for loading and unloading respectively. Each branch is equipped with an electric regulating valve (normally closed, open when power is off, and can also be used for remote regulation of nitrogen flow during system operation) and a set of flow meters on the outside of the cabin. It is divided into two branches downstream to lead nitrogen to the inside of the above two cabins respectively. Nitrogen enters the reactor building and the reactor pressure vessel cabin and the main circulation cabin for loading and unloading where the pipe break accident occurred through the above nitrogen loop, branches and branches. In view of the requirements of the single failure criterion, it is considered that only one reactor pressure vessel cabin and the main circulation cabin for loading and unloading have a pipe break accident in the primary circuit system. The electric regulating valve on the outside of the cabin where the pipe break accident occurred is opened remotely, and the electric regulating valves on the outside of other cabins where the pipe break accident did not occur remain closed.

[0023] Exhaust purification system operation plan: This system operates simultaneously with the large-flow nitrogen supply system to purify and discharge radioactive substances. By setting the difference between the supply and exhaust air volumes, the reactor building is maintained in a relatively negative pressure state to prevent the release of radioactive substances to the outdoor environment. Two exhaust branches are set at the bottom of the reactor building, located on both sides of the C-shaped port of the reactor building, and arranged symmetrically. The leaked primary helium and other gases in the internal environment of the reactor building are discharged from the reactor building through the two exhaust branches, enter the exhaust main road, and then enter the iodine adsorber for iodine removal and purification. After that, they are discharged to the chimney through the exhaust fan (1 in use and 1 in reserve), and then discharged to the outdoor atmosphere through the chimney. Both discharge branches are equipped with an electric air duct sealing valve (open when the system is running, normally closed, set outside the reactor building boundary to ensure the integrity of the reactor building pressure boundary). An electric air duct sealing valve is installed at the exhaust fan outlet (open when the system is running, normally closed to ensure that the system is isolated from the atmosphere of other systems when it is shut down), and an air duct regulating valve is installed at the inlet (for air volume balance during the debugging stage). A set of air duct flow meters is installed downstream of the exhaust fan (for exhaust volume monitoring).

[0024] Operation plan of nitrogen production system: The complete set of nitrogen production equipment of the nitrogen production system adopts centralized control. When the nitrogen concentration in the reactor building reaches 87.5%, the complete set of nitrogen production equipment is started with one button. After the fresh air is pressurized by the air compressor unit, it enters the wet air buffer tank, and then enters the dry purification unit for treatment, and then enters the activated carbon filter. After purification again, it enters the dry air buffer tank, and then enters the nitrogen production unit to produce nitrogen. Nitrogen process tanks and nitrogen storage tanks are set downstream of the nitrogen production unit. The produced nitrogen is reduced in pressure by the pressure reducing valve group and enters the reactor building through a small flow nitrogen supply pipeline. The nitrogen production system trunk line is also equipped with a manual shut-off valve (for flow regulation in the debugging stage), a check valve (to prevent nitrogen backflow), a set of flow meters (for nitrogen supply monitoring), and an electric regulating valve (open when the system is running, used for flow regulation in the operation stage, normally closed, set outside the reactor building boundary to ensure the integrity of the reactor building pressure boundary). The system is equipped with 3 sets of identical nitrogen production equipment, and the nitrogen supply pipelines are independently set up and arranged in three directions of the reactor building to maintain the uniformity of nitrogen concentration. Each set of nitrogen production equipment provides 500Nm 3 / h nitrogen, 3 sets of equipment provide a total of 1500Nm 3 / h nitrogen.

[0025] Nitrogen return air system operation plan: The nitrogen return air system relies on the negative pressure provided by the air compressor unit to extract gas from the reactor building into the air compressor unit, so that the gas inside the reactor building circulates, continuously discharges oxygen, and gradually increases the concentration of nitrogen inside the reactor building. The system is equipped with an electric regulating valve on the outside of the reactor building (open when the system is running, used for flow adjustment during the operation stage, normally closed, and set outside the boundary of the reactor building to ensure the integrity of the pressure boundary of the reactor building). A three-way connector for the return air and fresh air convergence is set at the air inlet of the air compressor unit, and a manual stop valve and a set of flow meters are set on the return air and fresh air branches for adjusting and monitoring the return air and fresh air flow rates to maintain a return air volume of 300Nm for each system. 3 / h, fresh air volume 200Nm 3 / h.
