  • Patent number: 9362011
    Abstract: A boiling water reactor assembly includes a bayonet plate closure between a control rod guide tube and a drive housing pipe. The bayonet plate closure has a bayonet plate constructed in two parts including a central bayonet ring mounted rotatably about its longitudinal axis and an outer ring completely surrounding the bayonet ring. The outer ring is mounted on the periphery of the bayonet ring and reaches inwards under the bayonet ring periphery. The ring is furthermore permanently supported in the axial direction on the drive housing pipe by spring pressure acting on the control rod guide tube, in order to produce a frictional connection. The spring pressure can be released unhindered from the reactor side by tools.

  • Publication number: 20150092905
    Abstract: A feed water distributing system for a nuclear power plant contains feed water distributers disposed within a reactor pressure vessel. The feed water distributing system has a consistent feed water distribution when starting up and during a partial load operation with low mechanical loads and has a redundancy of the individual components while maintaining the customary level of reliability in nuclear power plants. Each feed water distributer has exactly one annular main body with an inner channel, at least one fill socket which is fluidically connected to the inner channel via at least one fill opening, and a plurality of outlet nozzles which are fluidically connected to the inner channel. Each of the fill sockets of one feed water distributer is fluidically connected to each outlet nozzle of the feed water distributer.

  • Publication number: 20090092218
    Abstract: A steam dryer through which steam flows vertically, in particular for a nuclear reactor, contains a plurality of water tanks for removing water which has been separated from the steam. The water tanks are disposed below dryer elements through which the steam flows. The water tanks of the steam dryer have in each case in the flow direction a cross section which is favorable in terms of flow.
