Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a support structure for a reactor pressure vessel and a nuclear power plant equipped with this support structure. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a nuclear power plant building contains a reactor pressure vessel, a reactor pressure vessel pedestal (hereinafter referred to as "pedestal") that supports the reactor pressure vessel, and a containment vessel that contains the pressure vessel and the pedestal. In addition, in nuclear power plants, the pedestal and the reactor containment vessel are connected to each other by a support structure to improve earthquake resistance.

[0003] The shear lug structure has been used as a load transfer mechanism for this support structure, suppressing only circumferential displacement without restraining radial or vertical displacement due to thermal expansion of the containment vessel. The shear lug structure consists of a convex male shear lug attached to the support structure and a concave female shear lug attached to the containment vessel, consisting of two protrusions that sandwich the male shear lug from both sides. Normally, the female shear lug and the male shear lug are in contact with each other in the circumferential direction of the containment vessel, suppressing horizontal displacement.

[0004] An example of a conventional support structure is described in Patent Document 1. Patent Document 1 describes a technology that includes a first shear lug member attached to the side of the top slab facing the opening, and a second shear lug member that is attached to the upper end of the reactor shielding wall, extends upward, and has a side that faces the tip of the first shear lug member.

[0005] Another conventional support structure is described, for example, in Patent Document 2. Patent Document 2 describes that a plurality of shear lug mechanisms are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction, allowing relative movement in the vertical and radial directions while restricting relative movement in the circumferential direction. Furthermore, the technology described in Patent Document 2 allows relative displacement in the vertical direction within the range of the vertical distance between the convex member and the hole in the concave member, and restricts relative movement in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical body by contact between the guide plate of the concave member and the convex member. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-205126 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 63-129900 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] However, the technology described in Patent Document 1 only restrains the circumferential deformation of the containment vessel, but does not restrain radial or vertical deformation, limiting its support function during an earthquake to the horizontal direction. Furthermore, the technology described in Patent Document 2 can restrain vertical displacement, but requires inserting a convex member into a hole in a concave member installed in advance on the wall surface of the containment vessel, making it difficult to precisely adjust the gap between the shear lug members.

[0008] In consideration of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a support structure for a reactor pressure vessel and a nuclear power plant that can restrain vertical displacement and easily adjust the gap between shear lug members. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] To solve the above problems and achieve the object, a support structure for a reactor pressure vessel is disposed between the reactor pressure vessel and a cylindrical reactor containment vessel. The support structure is installed on the wall surface of the reactor containment vessel and includes at least a female shear lug divided into two members in the vertical direction of the reactor containment vessel, and a male shear lug supported by the female shear lug. The female shear lug is arranged with a gap between it and the wall surface of the containment vessel in the radial direction of the containment vessel. The female shear lug has a first member and a second member that is arranged vertically below the first member with the male shear lug sandwiched therebetween. The first member and the second member are arranged with a gap between them in the vertical direction.

[0010] The nuclear power plant includes a reactor pressure vessel, a cylindrical reactor containment vessel that houses the reactor pressure vessel, and a plurality of support structures disposed between the reactor pressure vessel and the reactor containment vessel, and the support structures described above are applied to the support structures. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] According to the support structure for a reactor pressure vessel and the nuclear power plant having the above-described configuration, it is possible to restrain displacement in the vertical direction and to easily adjust the gap between the shear lug members.

[0013] A support structure for a reactor pressure vessel and a nuclear power plant according to an embodiment will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 11. Note that common members in the figures are given the same reference numerals.

[0014] 1. First embodiment 1-1. Example of nuclear plant configuration First, the configuration of a nuclear power plant according to a first embodiment (hereinafter referred to as "this example") will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing the reactor building of this example.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 1, the nuclear power plant comprises a cylindrical reactor containment vessel 1 installed inside a reactor building, a reactor pressure vessel 2, a reactor pressure vessel pedestal (hereinafter referred to as "pedestal") 6, and a plurality of support structures 3, 4, and 5.

[0016] The reactor containment vessel 1 is formed in a cylindrical shape to be airtight. A reactor pressure vessel 2, a pedestal 6, and a plurality of support structures 3, 4, and 5 are housed within the reactor containment vessel 1.

[0017] The reactor pressure vessel 2 is formed in a cylindrical shape. The reactor pressure vessel 2 is supported by a pedestal 6 within the reactor containment vessel 1. As shown in FIG. 1 , the pedestal 6 stands upright on the floor formed at the bottom of the reactor containment vessel 1. The upper end of the pedestal 6 supports the reactor pressure vessel 2 via a second support structure 4.

[0018] The first support structure 3 is disposed between the reactor containment vessel 1 and the reactor pressure vessel 2, and supports the reactor pressure vessel 2. The second support structure 4 is disposed at the upper end of the pedestal 6 between the reactor containment vessel 1 and the reactor pressure vessel 2. The third support structure 5 is disposed between the pedestal 6 and the reactor containment vessel 1. The ends of the first support structure 3, the second support structure 4, and the third support structure 5 on the reactor containment vessel 1 side each have a shear lug structure. Since the first support structure 3, the second support structure 4, and the third support structure 5 each have the same configuration, the following explanation will focus on the first support structure 3. Hereinafter, the first support structure 3 will be simply referred to as the support structure 3.

[0019] 1-2.Example of the end configuration of the support structure Next, the configuration of the end portion of the support structure 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of the end portion of the support structure 3, and is an enlarged view of the area A shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC shown in Fig. 2.

[0020] 2 and 3, the support structure 3 has a male shear lug 102 and a female shear lug 101 that supports the male shear lug 102. The male shear lug 102 is formed at an end of the support structure 3 that faces the wall surface of the containment vessel 1. As shown in Fig. 3, the cross section of the male shear lug 102 taken in the up-down direction 111B of the containment vessel 1 is formed in a cross shape. That is, the male shear lug 102 has a first support piece 102A, a second support piece 102B, a third support piece 102C, and a fourth support piece 102D.

[0021] The first support piece 102A protrudes upward in the vertical direction 111B, and the second support piece 102B protrudes downward in the vertical direction 111B. The third support piece 102C and the fourth support piece 102D protrude from the boundary between the first support piece 102A and the second support piece 102B in a circumferential direction 111A of the containment vessel 1 that is perpendicular to the vertical direction 111B. The third support piece 102C protrudes toward one side in the circumferential direction 111A, and the fourth support piece 102D protrudes toward the other side in the circumferential direction 111A.

[0022] The male shear lugs 102 are inserted into female shear lugs 101, which will be described later. A gap 12 is formed between the male shear lugs 102 and the wall surface of the containment vessel 1 in the radial direction 11 of the containment vessel 1. This allows for displacement when the support structure 3, the containment vessel 1, and the reactor pressure vessel 2 thermally expand.

[0023] The female shear lug 101 has a first member 101A, a second member 101B, a third member 101C, and a fourth member 101D. Therefore, the female shear lug 101 is divided into four members 101A, 101B, 101C, and 101D. The female shear lug 101 is fixed to the wall surface of the containment vessel 1.

[0024] The first member 101A and the third member 101C are disposed above the third support piece 102C and the fourth support piece 102D of the female shear lug 102 in the up-down direction 111B. The second member 101B and the fourth member 101D are disposed below the third support piece 102C and the fourth support piece 102D of the female shear lug 102, the first member 101A, and the third member 101C in the up-down direction 111B. In other words, the female shear lug 101 is divided in the up-down direction 111B with the female shear lug 102 sandwiched therebetween.

[0025] The first member 101A and the second member 101B are disposed on one side of the first support piece 102A and the second support piece 102B of the male shear lug 102 in the circumferential direction 111A. The third member 101C and the fourth member 101D are disposed on the other side of the first support piece 102A and the second support piece 102B of the male shear lug 102 in the circumferential direction 111A.

[0026] Additionally, first support piece 102A of male shear lug 102 is sandwiched in circumferential direction 111A between first member 101A and third member 101C of female shear lug 101. Second support piece 102B of male shear lug 102 is sandwiched in circumferential direction 111A between second member 101B and fourth member 101D of female shear lug 101. As a result, displacement of support structure 3 in circumferential direction 111A is suppressed by the support structure of female shear lug 101 and male shear lug 102.

[0027] Furthermore, a gap 112 is provided in the vertical direction 111B between the third support piece 102C of the male shear lug 102 and the first member 101A and second member 101B of the female shear lug 101. Similarly, a gap 112 is provided in the vertical direction 111B between the fourth support piece 102D of the male shear lug 102 and the third member 101C and fourth member 101D of the female shear lug 101. By providing the gap 112 in this manner, thermal expansion in the vertical direction 111B can be tolerated.

[0028] In addition, in the event of a large displacement in the up-down direction 111B, the third support piece 102C and the fourth support piece 102D of the male shear lug 102 come into contact with the female shear lug 101. As a result, the support structure 3 of this example can respond to not only vibrations in the circumferential direction 111A but also vibrations in the up-down direction 111B during an earthquake. As a result, the earthquake resistance of the support structure 3 can be improved.

[0029] Furthermore, according to the support structure 3 of this example, the female shear lug 101 has a divided structure consisting of four members 101A, 101B, 101C, and 101D. Therefore, the female shear lug 101 can be installed after the male shear lug 102 has been positioned. When installing the female shear lug 101, the first members 101A, 101B, 101C, and 101D of the female shear lug 101 can be positioned separately depending on the installation position of the male shear lug 102. This makes it easy to position the female shear lug 101 and the male shear lug 102, thereby improving the accuracy of the gap 112 adjustment work.

[0030] In this example, the female shear lug 101 is divided into four members 101A, 101B, 101C, and 101D, but this is not limited to this, and the female shear lug 101 may also be divided into two approximately U-shaped members, one above the other.

[0031] 2. Second embodiment Next, a support structure according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing a support structure according to the second embodiment. Portions common to the support structure 3 according to the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals and redundant explanations will be omitted.

[0032] As shown in Fig. 5, the support structure according to the second embodiment has a male shear lug 202 and a female shear lug 201 that supports the male shear lug 202. As shown in Fig. 5, the male shear lug 202 is formed in a convex solid rectangular shape. The female shear lug 201 is disposed so as to surround the male shear lug 202.

[0033] The female shear lug 201 is formed in a hollow rectangular concave shape. The female shear lug 201 has a first member 201A and a second member 201B. That is, the female shear lug 201 is divided into two members 201A and 201B in the vertical direction 111B.

[0034] The first member 201A and the second member 201B are each formed in a substantially U-shape. The first member 201A is disposed at the top in the vertical direction 111B, with its opening facing downward in the vertical direction 111B. In contrast, the second member 201B is disposed at the bottom in the vertical direction 111B, with its opening facing upward in the vertical direction. A male shear lug 202 is disposed between the first member 201A and the second member 201B.

[0035] Furthermore, a gap 112 is formed between first member 201A and the upper end of male shear lug 202 in the vertical direction 111B, and similarly, a gap 112 is formed between second member 201B and the lower end of male shear lug 202 in the vertical direction 111B. Therefore, gap 112 allows deformation during thermal expansion. Furthermore, in the event of a large displacement in the vertical direction 111B, male shear lug 202 abuts against female shear lug 201. This makes it possible to respond to displacement in the vertical direction 111B during an earthquake.

[0036] Additionally, first member 201A and second member 201B abut against both ends in circumferential direction 111A of female shear lug 202. As a result, displacement of the support structure in circumferential direction 111A is suppressed by the support structure of female shear lug 201 and male shear lug 202.

[0037] As with the support structure 3 according to the first embodiment, a gap 12 is formed between the male shear lug 202 and the wall surface of the containment vessel 1 along the radial direction 11 of the containment vessel 1.

[0038] Other configurations are the same as those of the support structure 3 according to the first embodiment, and therefore descriptions thereof will be omitted. A support structure having such a configuration can also achieve the same effects as those of the support structure 3 according to the first embodiment described above.

[0039] Furthermore, according to the support structure of the second embodiment, the mail shear lug 202 has a solid structure, so that the rigidity can be increased more than that of the support structure 3 of the first embodiment.

[0040] Although the support structure of the second embodiment has been described as being divided into two parts, the first member 201A and the second member 201B, it may also be divided into four parts, similar to the female shear lug 101 of the first embodiment.

[0041] 3. Third embodiment Next, a support structure according to a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing a support structure according to a third embodiment. Portions common to the support structure 3 according to the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals and redundant explanations will be omitted.

[0042] 6, the support structure according to the third embodiment has a male shear lug 302 and a female shear lug 301 that supports the male shear lug 302. The female shear lug 301 has two members 301A and 301B, and its configuration is similar to that of the female shear lug 201 according to the second embodiment, so a description thereof will be omitted.

[0043] As shown in Fig. 6, male shear lug 302 is formed in a convex shape of a solid cylinder. Female shear lug 301 is disposed so as to surround male shear lug 302. A gap 112 is formed between first member 301A and an upper end of male shear lug 302 in the vertical direction 111B, and a gap 112 is similarly formed between second member 301B and a lower end of male shear lug 302 in the vertical direction 111B. First member 301A and second member 301B abut against both ends of male shear lug 302 in the circumferential direction 111A.

[0044] As with the support structure 3 according to the first embodiment, a gap 12 is formed between the male shear lug 302 and the wall surface of the containment vessel 1 along the radial direction 11 of the containment vessel 1.

[0045] Other configurations are the same as those of the support structure 3 according to the first embodiment and the support structure according to the second embodiment, and therefore descriptions thereof will be omitted. A support structure having such a configuration can also obtain the same effects as those of the support structure 3 according to the first embodiment and the structure according to the second embodiment described above.

[0046] 4. Fourth embodiment Next, a support structure according to a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing a support structure according to a fourth embodiment. Portions common to the support structure 3 according to the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals and redundant explanations will be omitted.

[0047] 6, the support structure according to the fourth embodiment has a male shear lug 402 and a female shear lug 401 that supports the male shear lug 402. The male shear lug 402 is formed in a convex shape of a solid cylinder, and its configuration is similar to that of the female shear lug 301 according to the third embodiment, so a description thereof will be omitted. The female shear lug 401 is disposed so as to surround the male shear lug 402.

[0048] Female shear lug 401 is formed in a hollow, oval, concave shape. Female shear lug 401 has a first member 401A and a second member 401B. That is, female shear lug 401 is divided into two members 401A and 401B in the vertical direction 111B.

[0049] The first member 401A and the second member 401B are each formed in a substantially C-shape, which is a substantially arc-like shape. The first member 401A is disposed at the top in the vertical direction 111B, with its opening facing downward in the vertical direction 111B. In contrast, the second member 401B is disposed at the bottom in the vertical direction 111B, with its opening facing upward in the vertical direction. The male shear lug 202 is disposed between the first member 401A and the second member 401B. The inner diameters of the first member 401A and the second member 401B are formed to be equal to the outer diameter of the male shear lug 402.

[0050] A gap 112 is formed between the first member 401A and the upper end of the male shear lug 402 in the vertical direction 111B, and similarly, a gap 112 is formed between the second member 401B and the lower end of the male shear lug 402 in the vertical direction 111B. The first member 401A and the second member 401B abut against both ends of the male shear lug 402 in the circumferential direction 111A.

[0051] As with the support structure 3 according to the first embodiment, a gap 12 is formed between the male shear lug 402 and the wall surface of the containment vessel 1 along the radial direction 11 of the containment vessel 1.

[0052] Other configurations are similar to those of the support structure 3 according to the first embodiment and the support structures according to the second and third embodiments, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted. A support structure having such a configuration can also achieve the same effects as those of the support structure 3 according to the first embodiment and the structures according to the second and third embodiments described above.

[0053] 5. Fifth embodiment Next, a support structure according to a fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Fig. 7 is an enlarged view showing an end of the support structure according to the fifth embodiment. Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 are cross-sectional views taken along line CC shown in Fig. 7, with Fig. 8 showing the normal state and Fig. 9 showing the state when an earthquake occurs. Parts common to the support structure 3 according to the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals and redundant explanations will be omitted.

[0054] 7 and 8, the end of the support structure 503 has a male shear lug 502 and a female shear lug 501 that supports the male shear lug 502. The configuration of the male shear lug 502 is the same as that of the male shear lug 102 according to the first embodiment, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted.

[0055] Similarly to the female shear lug 101 according to the first embodiment, the female shear lug 501 is divided into four members, a first member 501A, a second member 501B, a third member 501C, and a fourth member 501D. The first member 501A, the second member 501B, the third member 501C, and the fourth member 501D are arranged on the wall surface of the containment vessel 1 via guide rails 113. The first member 501A, the second member 501B, the third member 501C, and the fourth member 501D are supported by the guide rails 113 so as to be movable in the up-down direction 111B. The first member 501A, the second member 501B, the third member 501C, and the fourth member 501D are provided with driving units (not shown).

[0056] The drive unit is connected to the control device 114. The control device 114 has an earthquake detection unit 115A and a control unit 115B. The earthquake detection unit 115A detects shaking (earthquakes) of the reactor building. Information detected by the earthquake detection unit 115A is output to the control unit 115B. Based on the information detected by the earthquake detection unit 115A, the control unit 115B controls the drive of the drive unit that moves the first member 501A, second member 501B, third member 501C, and fourth member 501D of the female shear lug 501.

[0057] 8, under normal circumstances, gap 112 is formed in vertical direction 111B between female shear lug 501 and the support pieces of male shear lug 502. At this time, four members 501A, 501B, 501C, and 501D of female shear lug 501 are locked on guide rails 113 by control device 114, and movement in vertical direction 111B is restricted.

[0058] When earthquake detection unit 115A detects the occurrence of an earthquake, control unit 115B of control device 114 outputs a control signal to a drive unit (not shown) to unlock female shear lug 501. Next, as shown in FIG. 9, first member 501A, second member 501B, third member 501C, and fourth member 501D move along guide rail 113 in a direction to abut male shear lug 502. As a result, in the event of an earthquake, the gap between female shear lug 501 and the support piece of male shear lug 502 is completely eliminated. Then, control device 114 locks the four members 501A, 501B, 501C, and 501D of female shear lug 501.

[0059] Figure 10 is a graph showing the vertical load-displacement characteristics of the support structure under normal conditions. Figure 11 is a graph showing the vertical load-displacement characteristics of the support structure during an earthquake. The vertical axis represents the load F, and the horizontal axis represents the displacement X. As shown in FIG. 10, when there is a gap 112 under normal conditions, the stiffness of the shear lug structure is K, the gap amount δ, and the maximum displacement amount δ max When this is assumed to be a linear system, the equivalent stiffness K eq is expressed by the following equation 1. [Number 1] TIFF0007795447000001.tif19156

[0060] The equivalent stiffness K shown by the dashed line in Figure 10 eqAs the gap amount δ increases, the stiffness of the shear lug structure decreases compared to the stiffness K of the shear lug structure. In contrast, when an earthquake occurs, as shown in FIG. 9, the first member 501A, the second member 501B, the third member 501C, and the fourth member 501D are moved and brought into contact with the male shear lug 502. As a result, the gap amount δ becomes 0, and as shown in FIG. 11, the equivalent stiffness K eq is equal to the stiffness K of the shear lug structure, and no reduction in stiffness occurs due to gaps. As a result, the earthquake resistance in the vertical direction 111B of the support structure 503 can be improved compared to the support structure 3 of the first embodiment.

[0061] Other configurations are the same as those of the support structure 3 according to the first embodiment, and therefore descriptions thereof will be omitted. The support structure 503 having such a configuration can also obtain the same effects as those of the support structure 3 according to the first embodiment described above.

[0062] The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and shown in the drawings, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth in the claims.

[0063] In this specification, the words "parallel" and "orthogonal" are used, but these do not mean only "parallel" and "orthogonal" in the strict sense, but also include "parallel" and "orthogonal" and may also mean a "substantially parallel" or "substantially orthogonal" state within a range in which the functions can be exerted.
