Description

Stainless steel cladding installation structure and installation method thereof, spent fuel pool Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nuclear facilities, and in particular to a stainless steel cladding installation structure and an installation method thereof, and a spent fuel pool. Background Art

[0002] Large, long-term water storage tanks at nuclear power plants typically have a stainless steel cladding applied to the concrete surface to prevent leakage. The cladding is welded on-site from multiple flat stainless steel plates, with support structures and leak monitoring and collection tanks (detection devices) located behind each weld.

[0003] From a construction perspective, existing steel cladding can be categorized as post-applied and pre-applied. Post-applied steel cladding involves first pouring the concrete structure, then installing the stainless steel pool cladding support frame and applying mortar plastering. Finally, the stainless steel cladding panels are welded to the stainless steel pool cladding support frame. Pre-applied steel cladding involves prefabricating the stainless steel pool cladding submodules in a workshop and assembling or installing them on-site before back-concrete pouring or grouting.

[0004] The on-site construction process for post-application steel cladding is cumbersome and can only be done serially. This results in a small construction space, low efficiency, long construction periods, and long-term resource occupation. Large-scale tank construction involves extensive overhead work, making it difficult to guarantee the quality of steel cladding welding on the first try, and also detrimental to the physical and mental health of construction workers. In pre-application steel cladding, because the cladding panels are generally thin and have poor rigidity, deformation during welding, transportation, and hoisting is difficult to control, resulting in poor surface flatness of the prefabricated steel cladding modules. Furthermore, as formwork, it is cast and fixed along with the concrete structure, further exacerbating deformation, resulting in poor precision tolerances for the construction of stainless steel tank steel cladding. Therefore, pre-application steel cladding is generally not used for large, safe, and important stainless steel tanks, such as spent fuel pools. Summary of the Invention

[0044] In order to have a clearer understanding of the technical features, purposes and effects of the present invention, specific embodiments of the present invention are now described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] The stainless steel cladding mounting structure of the present invention is used to be installed in a water pool, forming a steel cladding on the inner wall of the water pool to prevent liquid leakage. Water pools include but are not limited to storage pools (such as spent fuel pools) in nuclear power plants.

[0046] As shown in FIG1 to FIG3 , a stainless steel cladding installation structure according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a cladding panel 100 , at least one rail 10 and at least one slot 20 , wherein the rail 10 and the slot 20 are adapted to be arranged.

[0047] The cladding panel 100 is formed by welding together several stainless steel plates 101. The entire panel can be a polygonal plate (e.g., a square plate). The stainless steel plates 101 are primarily joined along the width of the cladding panel 100. The joint line between the stainless steel plates 101 corresponds to the length of the stainless steel plates 101 and also corresponds to the height of the cladding panel 100. The joint line is welded to form a weld seam 102. Thus, the weld seam 102 is formed between adjacent stainless steel plates 101 and extends along the height of the cladding panel 100. The length of the weld seam 102 is consistent with the height of the cladding panel 100.

[0048] The cladding panel 100 is designed to be installed on the concrete inner wall 200 of a pool. The cladding panel 100 has a first surface and a second surface facing each other, with the first surface facing the concrete inner wall 200. A rail 10 is disposed on the first surface of the cladding panel 100, corresponding to one side of the weld 102 and wrapping around the outside of the weld 102. A leak detection groove 13 is formed within the rail 100, surrounding the outside of the weld 102. The rail 10 can be fixed to the cladding panel 100 by welding or other means during prefabrication of the cladding panel 100 in a workshop, creating a modular design.

[0049] Specifically, structurally, the rail 10 may include a steel plate 11 and a channel steel 12; the channel steel 12 is fixed (e.g., by welding) to the steel plate 11 with its back facing the steel plate 11 in a U-shaped groove. The channel steel 12 is U-shaped in cross section, with its internal space being a U-shaped groove. The two ends of the channel steel 12 are located on either side of the U-shaped groove, also forming the two legs of the channel steel 12. On the covering panel 100, the rail 10 is fixed to the first surface of the covering panel 100 with the channel steel 12 facing it; the legs on either side of the U-shaped groove of the channel steel 12 are located on opposite sides of the weld 102, and are connected to the stainless steel plates 101 on either side of the weld 102 (i.e., the two adjacent stainless steel plates 101) by welding or other means; the U-shaped groove of the channel steel 12 forms a leak detection groove 13.

[0050] The formation of the leak detection groove 13, when the weld 102 leaks, the leaked liquid can be concentrated in the leak detection groove 13. At the same time, it is also beneficial to perform leak detection work through the leak detection groove 13.

[0051] On the cladding panel 100, the length of the rail 10 (including the steel plate 11 and the channel steel 12) extends along the height of the cladding panel 100 and also along the height of the weld 102. The length of the rail 10 can be set to be the same as the length of the weld 102; alternatively, the length of the rail 10 can be slightly shorter than the length of the weld 102. The upper and lower ends of the rail 10 are respectively connected to the transverse channel steel 12 welded to the upper and lower ends of the cladding panel 100.

[0052] The width of the steel plate 11 is set to be greater than the width of the channel steel 12. When the two are connected, the opposite ends of the steel plate 11 protrude outside the opposite sides of the channel steel 12.

[0053] The slot 20 is mounted and fixed to the concrete inner wall 200 of the pool, and is adapted to engage with the rail 10. The cladding panel 100 is secured to the concrete inner wall 200 by the rail 10 engaging with the slot 20. Within the pool, the cladding panel 100 is vertically positioned and aligned with the outer surface of the slot 20, and the rail 10 engages within the slot 20.

[0054] The slot 20 may include two angle steels 21 spaced apart from each other, arranged at right angles to each other. The length of the angle steels 21 corresponds to the length of the rail 10 and extends along the height of the concrete inner wall 200. Each angle steel 21 is secured to the concrete inner wall 200 via at least one set of connecting components; the space between the two angle steels 21 allows the rail 10 to fit within it. The side of the angle steels 21 facing away from the concrete inner wall 200 forms the outer surface of the slot 20, within which the rail 10 fits.

[0055] Each set of connection components may further include a first anchoring angle steel sheet 22 and a first expansion bolt 23; one end of the first anchoring angle steel sheet 22 is connected to the angle steel 21, and the other end of the first anchoring angle steel sheet 22 is fitted on the concrete inner wall surface 200 and fixed on the concrete inner wall surface 200 by the first expansion bolt 23.

[0056] In the height direction of the slot 20, each angle steel 21 is fixed to the concrete inner wall surface 200 through a plurality of connecting components. The plurality of connecting components are distributed at intervals along the height direction of the angle steel 21.

[0057] Furthermore, the width of the internal space of the slot 20 (i.e., the interval between the two angle steels 21) is set to be greater than the maximum width of the rail 10, so that the rail 10 can slide up and down in the slot 20, and there is also sufficient gap between the rail 10 and the slot 20 for grouting. The slurry is densely filled between the rail 10 and the slot 20, and the rail 10 and the slot 20 are buried on one side of the concrete inner wall 200 to realize the load transfer function.

[0058] Furthermore, the stainless steel cladding installation structure of the present invention further includes a plaster layer 30 and a filling layer 40 formed by grouting.

[0059] The plaster layer 30 is coated on the concrete inner wall surface 200 outside the slot 20 , and the outer surface of the plaster layer 30 is flush with the outer surface of the slot 20 ; the covering panel 100 is in contact with the outer surface of the slot 20 and also in contact with the plaster layer 30 .

[0060] The filling layer 40 is densely filled between the rail 10 and the slot 20 by grouting, and after hardening, is connected to the concrete inner wall 200. The setting of the filling layer 40 also buries the rail 10 and the slot 20 therein and improves the stability of the cover plate 100 on the concrete inner wall 200.

[0061] The installation method of the stainless steel cladding installation structure of the present invention, with reference to FIG1 to FIG3 , may include the following steps in some embodiments:

[0062] S1 . Prefabricated covering panels 100 . Each covering panel 100 has a rail 10 on its first surface.

[0063] The covering panel 100, the rail 10 and the slot 20 are all prefabricated in the workshop. The rail 10 is fixed to the first surface of the covering panel 100 by welding. The slot 20 is installed on the concrete inner wall 200 of the on-site pool after being transported to the site.

[0064] When welding the rail 10, the covering plate 100 is cooled by water circulation cooling, that is, a water tank is set under the weld pad to quickly cool down the plate by flowing water, thereby reducing welding deformation.

[0065] S2. A fixing frame 300 is added to the second surface of the covering panel 100 to enhance the rigidity of the covering panel 100 .

[0066] As shown in Figure 4 , the fixing frame 300 is configured to correspond to the outer perimeter of the cladding panel 100, for example, in a rectangular shape. The fixing frame 300 is formed by welding a plurality of horizontal bars 301 and vertical bars 302. The fixing frame 300 is provided with multiple fixing points, each of which is equipped with suction cups (not shown). These suction cups attach the fixing frame 300 to the second surface of the cladding panel 100. These fixing points include, but are not limited to, the diagonal corners of the fixing frame 300, the ends and center of each horizontal bar 301, and the ends and center of each vertical bar 302.

[0067] The installation of the fixing frame 300 on the second surface of the cladding panel 100 enhances the rigidity of the cladding panel 100 and prevents the cladding panel 100 from being deformed during hoisting and transportation.

[0068] The fixing frame 300 can be installed in a workshop, reducing the construction process on site and improving efficiency. Alternatively, the fixing frame can be installed on site after the cover plate 100, the slot 20, etc. are transported to the site.

[0069] S3. The covering panel 100 with the fixing frame 300 is hoisted and positioned in the pool in a vertical state.

[0070] Step S3 is primarily performed on-site. Each cladding panel 100, attached to a fixed frame 300, is hoisted into the pool. During hoisting, a counterweight adjustment device (not shown) installed on the fixed frame 300 ensures that the cladding panel 100 remains vertical. One cladding panel 100 is installed on each concrete inner wall 200 of the pool.

[0071] Each concrete inner wall surface 200 of the pool is pre-installed with a slot 20. After the slot 20 is installed, a plaster layer 30 is applied to the concrete inner wall surface 200. The plaster layer 30 is located outside the slot 20 and the outer surface of the plaster layer 30 is flush with the outer surface of the slot 20, as shown in Figure 3.

[0072] When hoisting the cladding panel 100 into position, align the panel's rails 10 over the slots 20 above the pool. When lowering the cladding panel 100, the rails 10 slide from top to bottom into the slots 20. Multiple positioning points are selected on the fixed frame 300, and jacks are used to support each of these points, pushing the cladding panel 100 until it rests against the plaster layer 30.

[0073] After the covering panel 100 is in place, the first surface of the covering panel 100 is in contact with the outer surface of the slot 20 and the plaster layer 30 .

[0074] After the positioning is completed, grouting is performed to densely fill the gap between the card slot 20 and the card rail 10 with grout.

[0075] S4. Insert the grouting hose into the bottom of the card slot 20, and pour grout into the card slot 20 through the grouting hose, so that the slurry is densely filled between the card rail 10 and the card slot 20 layer by layer from bottom to top.

[0076] Specifically, during grouting, the grouting hose first delivers a certain amount of slurry to the bottom of the slot 20 (also the gap between the slot 20 and the rail 10), forming a first layer of slurry at the bottom of the slot 20. During grouting, the outlet of the grouting hose remains below the grouting surface, ensuring that the delivered slurry is densely filled and unaffected by air or bubbles. After the previous grouting layer hardens, the next slurry layer is poured. Similarly, during grouting, the outlet of the grouting hose remains below the grouting surface, forming slurry layers from bottom to top within the slot 20.

[0077] During grouting, the height of each layer of slurry poured gradually shall be ≤2m; the next layer of slurry shall be poured after the previous layer of slurry has hardened.

[0078] The slurry poured between the rail 10 and the slot 20 forms a filling layer 40 after solidification and is connected to the concrete inner wall 200 as a whole, while also firmly fixing the cover panel 100 on the concrete inner wall 200 and effectively restraining deformation of the module where the cover panel 100 is located.

[0079] The above installation method primarily implements the installation of one cladding panel 100 on one concrete inner wall surface 200 of a pool. The same steps are followed for installing cladding panels 100 on the remaining concrete inner walls 200. By installing multiple cladding panels 100 separately, cladding panels 100 can be installed on all concrete inner walls 200 within the pool. By connecting adjacent cladding panels 100, all cladding panels 100 within the pool can be sequentially connected to form a single, integrated steel cladding.

[0080] 1 and 5 , each of the aforementioned cladding panels 100 is surrounded by double U-shaped channel steels as a skeletal support structure, connected to the inner concrete wall surface 200. This skeletal support structure includes a first U-shaped channel steel 401 and a second U-shaped channel steel 402. The second U-shaped channel steel 402 is smaller in size than the first U-shaped channel steel 401. The second U-shaped channel steel 402 fits within the first U-shaped channel steel 401, placing the first U-shaped channel steel 401 on the outside and the second U-shaped channel steel 402 on the inside.

[0081] Opposite sides of the first U-shaped channel 401 are connected to the concrete inner wall 200 via a plurality of second anchoring angle steel pieces 403 and second expansion bolts 404. The plurality of second anchoring angle steel pieces 403 are spaced apart along the length (and height) of the first U-shaped channel 401. One end of each second anchoring angle steel piece 403 is welded to the outside of the first U-shaped channel 401, and the other end is fastened to the concrete inner wall 200 via at least one second expansion bolt 404.

[0082] During on-site installation, adjacent cladding panels 100 are welded to the upper portion of the skeletal support structure, which serves as a backing plate for the cladding panel welding. During welding, the first U-shaped channel steel 401 is welded to the adjacent cladding panels 100 at its ends, while the second U-shaped channel steel 402 is welded to the adjacent cladding panels 100 with its surface facing away from the first U-shaped channel steel 401. The weld seam 103 between the two cladding panels 100 corresponds to the confines of the skeletal support structure, meaning that the second U-shaped channel steel 402 fits over the weld seam 103.

[0083] The inner space of the second U-shaped channel steel 102 and the space between the first U-shaped channel steel 401 and the second U-shaped channel steel 402 can both serve as leak detection slots. If a weld leaks, the leaked liquid will flow along the inside of the leak detection slots, so the skeleton support structure can realize weld leak detection.

[0084] It can be understood that the present invention is not only applicable to the parallel butt jointing between the covering panels as shown in FIG. 5 , but also applicable to the 90° bend butt jointing between the covering panels.

[0085] Furthermore, the internal space of the skeleton support structure meets the requirements for placing radiographic film. Radiographic holes 104 (as shown in Figure 1) are provided at the horizontal and vertical intersections of the cladding panel 100, providing a radiographic access channel for on-site radiographic inspections. Therefore, the skeleton support structure can simultaneously serve as a welding pad, a radiographic access channel, leak detection, and load transfer.

[0086] The stainless steel cladding installation structure of the present invention is suitable for use in spent fuel pools, enabling installation of cladding panels 100 within the pool. Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , the structure of the spent fuel pool can include a concrete pool body and multiple cladding panels 100. The pool body has multiple concrete inner walls 200, with each cladding panel 100 corresponding to one inner wall, and the multiple cladding panels 100 are sequentially connected.

[0087] The cladding panels 100 have first and second opposing surfaces, with the first surface facing the concrete inner wall 200. Each cladding panel 100 has at least one rail 10 on its first surface facing the concrete inner wall 200. The rail 10 corresponds to one side of the weld seam on the cladding panel 100, and a leak detection groove 13 is formed inside the rail 10, surrounding the outer side of the weld seam. The concrete inner wall 200 is provided with a slot 20 that matches the rail 10. The cladding panel 100 is secured to the concrete inner wall 200 by the rail 10 fitting within the slot 20.

[0088] The specific structure and configuration of the card rail 10 and the card slot 20 are referred to the above related descriptions and will not be repeated here.

[0089] Furthermore, the spent fuel pool includes a plaster layer 30, which is applied to the concrete inner wall surface 200 outside the slot 20. The plaster layer 30 is applied after the slot 20 is installed. Subsequently, the cover panel 100 is positioned on the concrete inner wall surface 200 by fitting the rail 10 within the slot 20. The cover panel 100 is then bonded to the outer surface of the slot 20 and the plaster layer 30.

[0090] The spent fuel pool also includes a filling layer 40, which is formed by solidifying slurry. The slurry is densely filled between the rail 10 and the slot 20 by grouting. After solidification, it is connected to the concrete inner wall surface 200 as a whole, and at the same time, the cover panel 100 is firmly fixed on the concrete inner wall surface 200, effectively restraining the deformation of the module where the cover panel 100 is located.
