Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automatic cleaning, in particular to a decontamination and cleaning device for the sealing surface of a pressure vessel. Background Art
[0002] Generally speaking, the reactor pressure vessel is an irreplaceable Class I equipment in a nuclear power plant. In order to ensure that it has a sufficiently good sealing performance, the nuclear power plant must open the reactor pressure vessel for refueling and maintenance after a nuclear fuel cycle. There are usually some foreign matter (such as dust, rust), marks and scratches on the sealing surface of the pressure vessel, which will affect the sealing performance. Therefore, during each shutdown and refueling overhaul, the sealing surface of the pressure vessel needs to be polished. At the same time, the reactor pressure vessel is a device with high sealing requirements, and it also needs to be decontaminated and cleaned after polishing to ensure that the sealing surface has good sealing performance.
[0003] In related technologies, nuclear power plants mostly use manual cleaning to remove foreign matter remaining on the surface of the sealing surface. This method is inefficient and labor-intensive. More importantly, during the cleaning process, operators are exposed to radioactive dust environments, which poses a risk of contamination and more radiation exposure to personnel, posing certain safety risks.
[0004] To this end, we propose a pressure vessel sealing surface decontamination and cleaning device. Utility Model Content
