  • Publication number: 20240160819
    Abstract: A failure diagnosis assisting device to assist with diagnosis of a failure of a target apparatus includes a display to display a circuit diagram illustrating electric connection between components of the target apparatus, a storage storing circuit diagram information including information to display the circuit diagram and design information included in the information to display the circuit diagram, an operation receiver to receive an operation of selecting a connection terminal of a connector or a component of the target apparatus on the circuit diagram displayed by the display, and a display controller configured or programmed to read from the circuit diagram information in the storage an item of the design information which item is on the selected component or the selected connection terminal and cause the display to display a diagnosis assisting diagram indicative of information corresponding to the item of the design information.

  • Patent number: 9093182
    Abstract: A fast reactor 1 includes: a reactor vessel 7 accommodating therein a core 2 and a primary coolant 21; a core support 13 supporting the core 2 from below; and a bulkhead 6 disposed on the core support 13, the bulkhead 6 extending upward and surrounding the core 2 from a lateral side. Between an inner surface of the reactor vessel 7 and the bulkhead 6, there is disposed an intermediate heat exchanger 15 configured to cool the primary coolant 21, and an electromagnetic pump 14 configured to pressurize the cooled primary coolant 21. A neutron shield 8 supported by an upper supporting plate 29 from above is disposed below the electromagnetic pump 14. The upper supporting plate 29 has an opening 29a. Between an outlet 14b of the electromagnetic pump 14 and the upper supporting plate 29, there is disposed a coolant guide mechanism 17 configured to guide the pressurized primary coolant 21 from the electromagnetic pump 14 to the neutron shield through the opening 29a of the upper supporting plate 29.

  • Patent number: 8295425
    Abstract: A fast reactor having a reactivity control reflector has a reactor vessel in which a coolant is accommodated, a reactor core which is installed in the reactor vessel and dipped with the coolant, and a reflector installed outside of the reactor core so as to be movable in a vertical direction for controlling the reactivity of the reactor core. The reflector of the fast reactor has a lower neutron reflecting portion having a neutron reflection capability higher than that of the coolant and an upper cavity portion located above the neutron reflecting portion and having a neutron reflection capability lower than that of the coolant. The cavity portion is composed of a plurality of cylindrical hermetically-sealed vessels.
