  • Patent number: 11610693
    Abstract: The invention relates to the field of nuclear energy, in particular, to systems that ensure the safety of nuclear power plants (NPPs), and can be used in severe accidents resulting in molten core, destruction of the reactor vessel and molten metal output into the containment volume of NPP. The technical result of the claimed invention is to increase the reliability of the reactor molten core localization device. The technical result of reactor molten core localization device is achieved due to the lower support consisting of radial supports of a horizontal embedded slab and radial supports installed in the lower part of the molten metal trap casing joined together by clamps, while the radial supports and the fasteners have oval shaped openings.

  • Patent number: 11536448
    Abstract: The steam generating unit of dual circuit reactor with blowdown and drain system is implemented in the close loop, without any conventional blowdown expansion tanks and is designed for maximum pressure of the steam generator (SG) working medium. The SG blowdown water is combined into a single line, cooled down in the regenerative heat exchanger, then in the blowdown aftercooler and drain cooling line and taken out of the tight shell. Out of the tight shell, the SG blowdown water is supplied for treatment to the SG blowdown water treatment system designed for maximum pressure of the steam generator (SG) working medium. After treatment, the water returns to the tight shell and, via the regenerative heat exchanger, to the feed pipelines of each SG. The invention provides increased SG blowdown that leads to the accelerated chemical condition normalization even with considerable deviations.

  • Patent number: 11521759
    Abstract: This invention involves systems which provide for the safety of nuclear power plants that can be used in the event of serious accidents leading to the destruction of the housing and sealed containment structure of a reactor. In one aspect, the system can increase nuclear power plant safety by preventing the escape of liquid and solid radioactive materials (corium) from a melt confinement device in the event of a serious accident involving the escape of core melt from a nuclear reactor. The invention addresses the problem of increasing the efficiency and reliability of a melt confinement device by improving the conditions for cooling corium. The problem is solved by the use of a filler formed in upper cassettes and in a lower cassette. Said cassettes are configured with vertical and horizontal channels which provide for the uniform distribution of melt in the housing undergoing cooling.

  • Patent number: 11506328
    Abstract: The invention relates to pipelines and equipment useful in nuclear power plants, heat power engineering, manufacturing engineering, petrochemistry, water supply, chemical and aerospace industries, and other fields. The invention relates to a pipe heat insulation casing consisted of metal elements and assembly method ensuring reliable electrical insulation of all elements. The connection of the metal elements is with lapping, the elements are with openings in the lapping area where the electrically-insulating spacers are set made of resilient, elastic-plastic, plastic, fully viscous or partially solidified material ensuring electrical insulation between the adjacent elements. The electrically-insulating spacers are applied to the lapping areas of the metal elements to fill the openings of the lapping areas thus arranging reliable pin connections between the spacer and adjacent casing elements.

  • Patent number: 11476010
    Abstract: The invention relates to safe operation support systems of nuclear power plants (NPPs) at severe accidents, including methods and systems for cooling and cooling control of the reactors molten core. The invention increases safety of NPP and cooling efficiency of the molten core of a reactor. The invention increases the efficiency of cooling the molten core of a reactor by safely removing the heat load from the molten metal mirror, ensuring the elimination of vapor explosions. The invention changes the principle of cooling the reactor molten core, in that after the molten core destroys the reactor vessel, the conditions for subsequent cooling of the molten metal are determined by the characteristics of the trap casing, but not of the reactor.

  • Patent number: 10937556
    Abstract: The invention relates to the field of electrical engineering, and specifically to sealed inlets of electrical circuits into a sealed area of a multi-layered containment shell of a nuclear power station. This design can be used in passages through an external and an internal wall which are subject to relative mutual displacement as a consequence of a seismic phenomenon or thermal expansion of the walls and passage. The problem addressed by the present invention is that of increasing the operating reliability of a sealed cable inlet when high-voltage electrical conductors which have little bending capacity are used. The problem addressed is achieved in that the sealed cable inlet through an external and an internal wall of a containment shell of a nuclear power station comprises an embedded pipe (3) which is arranged in the internal wall (1), with an inlet section (44) of a cable (2) fixed rigidly within said pipe.

  • Patent number: 10753818
    Abstract: The sphere of main pipelines used for hot water supply, specifically devices for electric surveillance control and water heat carrier leakage detection on atomic electric power station pipelines applied for operation of heat insulated pipes with a protective casing. Such pipeline leakage detection device uses a metal protective casing installed coaxially on a metal pipe with a radial clearance, where the casing performs as a joint of, for example, four arch shaped metal sheets bent across the pipe. Sheets straight line edges are joined by a dielectric washer, and sheets arch shaped edges are joined by a dielectric ring. Ring flanks have ring grooves on them for sheets arch shaped edges installation. Across each sheet arch shaped edge there are lamels shaped electric connectors installed in ring grooves for sheet arch shaped edge fixation. Electric connector terminals are fastened on the ring external surface and separately connected to each lamel.
