[0030] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installation", "connection", and "linkage" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or a chemical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0031] See Figures 1 to 3 , an embodiment of the present utility model discloses a reactor core shielding top cover, which is used for temporarily shielding the radiation in the reactor core after opening the top cover of the pressure vessel 100 of the reactor during the refueling overhaul of the reactor.
[0032] The reactor core shielding top cover includes an upper cover 1 and a lower cylinder body 2 hermetically connected to the opening of the pressure vessel 100. The lower opening of the upper cover 1 is hermetically connected to the lower cylinder body 2, and the lower cylinder body 2 is a hollow structure. The upper cover 1 is provided with a plurality of avoidance holes 11 for the reactor measurement instrument columns to pass through. Preferably, the avoidance holes 11 are circular holes with a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the reactor measurement instrument columns. The reactor measurement instrument columns extend along the axial direction of the pressure vessel 100, that is, along the axial direction of the upper cover 1, and the avoidance holes 11 are generally provided on the top wall of the upper cover 1. The reactor measurement instrument columns can pass through the avoidance holes 11 and extend out of the upper cover 1, exposing outside the reactor core shielding top cover. When replacing the reactor measurement instrument finger sleeve assembly later, it is not necessary to remove the upper cover 1, nor to enter the inside of the cover body, which is convenient for replacing the reactor measurement instrument finger sleeve assembly on the basis of effective radiation protection. Generally, the reactor measurement instrument finger sleeve assembly is installed on the upper part of the reactor measurement instrument column and is fixedly installed on the reactor core through the reactor measurement instrument column to monitor the situation of the reactor core in real time.
[0033] Furthermore, as Figure 1 shown, the reactor core shielding top cover further includes a plurality of protective covers 3. The protective covers 3 are arranged above the avoidance holes 11 and are detachably connected to the upper cover 1 to cover the reactor measurement instrument columns. Preferably, one protective cover 3 can cover one or more reactor measurement instrument columns. In this embodiment, the number of the protective covers 3 is four, and one protective cover 3 can cover three reactor measurement instrument columns to shield the reactor measurement instrument columns when there is no operation and prevent radiation leakage. When disassembling and assembling the reactor measurement instrument finger sleeve assembly, it is necessary to remove the protective covers 3 first and then perform subsequent operations.
[0034] Preferably, in some embodiments, in order to enhance the shielding effect of the protective covers 3, a first shielding layer is encapsulated in the side wall of the protective covers 3, which is not shown in the figure. The first shielding layer can include one or more lead plates.
[0035] Furthermore, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, in order to enhance the shielding effect of the upper cover 1, while maintaining the axial length of the upper cover 1, the upper part of the upper cover 1 is recessed inward to form a plurality of avoidance grooves 12, and each avoidance groove 12 communicates with at least one avoidance hole 11. The protective cover 3 is arranged above the avoidance groove 12 and is detachably connected to the opening edge of the avoidance groove 12. This can enable the pile measurement instrument column to pass through the upper cover 1 through the avoidance hole 11, without restricting the height of other parts of the upper cover 1, facilitating the replacement of the pile measurement instrument finger sleeve assembly while maintaining the existing protection effect. Preferably, one avoidance groove 12 can communicate with one avoidance hole 11, or one avoidance groove 12 can communicate with multiple avoidance holes 11. In this embodiment, the number of avoidance grooves 12 is 4, and one avoidance groove 12 can communicate with three avoidance holes 11. A protective cover 3 is correspondingly arranged on each avoidance groove 12 to shield the pile measurement instrument column when there is no operation and prevent radiation from leaking out.
[0036] Furthermore, as Figure 3 shown, in order to enhance the shielding effect of the lower cylinder body 2, the lower cylinder body 2 includes an upper flange 21, an inner cylinder body 22, a second shielding layer 23, an outer cylinder body 24 and a lower flange 25. The lower flange 25 is arranged at the bottom of the second shielding layer 23 and is respectively connected to the inner cylinder body 22, the second shielding layer 23 and the outer cylinder body 24. The upper flange 21 is arranged at the top of the second shielding layer 23 and is respectively connected to the inner cylinder body 22 and the outer cylinder body 24. A gap is left between the second shielding layer 23 and the upper flange 21. Preferably, the second shielding layer 23 is multiple layers of lead plates with a total thickness of 35 mm - 45 mm. The gap between the second shielding layer 23 and the upper flange 21 is 7 mm to 10 mm, and the gap is filled with lead water. This can eliminate the bulging situation caused by the compression and extension of the lead plates and improve the wrapability of the lead plates.
[0037] Furthermore, as Figure 1 shown, in order to fixedly connect the lower cylinder body 2 and the opening of the pressure vessel 100, prevent radiation leakage and enhance the shielding effect, the reactor core shielding top cover further includes a positioning member and a shielding cover 4. The positioning member fixedly connects the lower flange 25 and the pressure vessel 100, and the shielding cover 4 covers the positioning member. A third shielding layer is encapsulated in the side wall of the shielding cover 4. Preferably, the third shielding layer can include one or more layers of lead plates. This can enhance the shielding effect of the shielding cover 4 and reduce the risk of radiation material leakage at the shielding boundary. Among them, the positioning member and the third shielding layer are not shown in the figure.
[0038] Furthermore, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, for the convenience of maintenance operations, such as the replacement of the pile measurement instrument finger sleeve assembly, the reactor core shielding top cover further includes a ladder 5. The ladder 5 is fixedly connected to the upper cover 1 and / or the lower cylinder 2 and extends along the axial direction of the lower cylinder 2. A protective cage 6 is provided outside the ladder 5. Preferably, the ladder 5 is fixedly connected to the upper cover 1 and the lower cylinder 2. The ladder 5 and the protective cage 6 can be hung by gravity, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly, and improves the replacement efficiency and safety of the pile measurement instrument finger sleeve assembly.
[0039] Furthermore, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown in the figure, for the convenience of the installation and disassembly of the reactor core shielding top cover, the reactor core shielding top cover further includes a lifting assembly 7 and a number of guiding mechanisms 8 that are positioned and matched with the guiding columns 200. The number of guiding mechanisms 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lower cylinder 2, and the lifting assembly 7 is fixedly connected to the upper cover 1. Preferably, there are at least three guiding mechanisms 8, and the position of each guiding mechanism 8 corresponds to that of a guiding column 200. The three guiding mechanisms 8 are respectively sleeved on the guiding columns 200 to achieve positioning.
[0040] The lifting assembly 7 includes a lifting beam 71, a main lifting hole assembly 72, and two lifting rings 73. The lifting beam 71 is cross-welded on the top of the upper cover 1, and the intersection point of the lifting beam 71 is the geometric center point of the reactor core shielding top cover. The main lifting hole assembly 72 is welded at the geometric center point and is used for the lifting of the reactor core shielding top cover in the nuclear island. The two lifting rings 73 are arranged on the lifting beam 71 on both sides of the main lifting hole assembly 72 and are centrally symmetrically arranged with the lifting holes as the symmetry points. The two lifting rings 73 are used for the lifting of the reactor core shielding top cover during assembly and transportation.
[0041] By implementing the present utility model, the following beneficial effects are achieved:
[0042] The reactor core shielding top cover of the present utility model is provided with a number of avoidance holes 11. The pile measurement instrument column can pass through the avoidance holes 11 and penetrate out of the upper cover 1, exposing it outside the reactor core shielding top cover. When replacing the pile measurement instrument finger sleeve assembly, it is not necessary to remove the upper cover 1, which is convenient for the replacement of the pile measurement instrument finger sleeve assembly on the basis of effective radiation protection.
