Patent number: 10283226Abstract: A jet pump measuring pipe repair method that repairs a ruptured part of a measuring pipe horizontally installed to a lower portion of a jet pump provided in reactor water inside a reactor pressure vessel. The repair method includes: fixing a support member to the jet pump near the measuring pipe left remained; mounting, after the support member fixing, a measuring pipe connector provided with a pipe-repairing pipe having both ends over which connecting pipes are fitted, respectively, to the support member; connecting, after the connector mounting, the remaining measuring pipe and connecting pipe using the measuring pipe connector.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2013Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Yuki Minato, Kunihiko Kinugasa, Hajime Mori, Satoshi Yamamoto, Hiroyuki Adachi, Tadahiro Mitsuhashi, Masanobu Watanabe, Yoshinori Katayama, Kozue Matsukawa, Satoshi Miyamura

Patent number: 9718151Abstract: A reactor measurement-pipe maintenance clamp apparatus includes a first clamp mechanism and a second clamp mechanism. The first clamp mechanism includes clamps to fix the measurement pipe between the clamps, first clamp operation bolts that are allowed to be turned by remote control from above a reactor core, and wedge mechanisms to convert the turning of the clamp operation bolts to displacement of the clamps in a radial direction of the diffuser to generate clamping forces for securing the measurement pipe. The second clamp mechanism includes a support clamp to hold the support, a second clamp operation bolt that is allowed to be turned by remote control from above the reactor core, and a wedge mechanism to convert the turning of the second clamp operation bolt to displacement of the support clamp in a tangential direction of the diffuser to generate clamping force for fixing the support.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2014Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Yusuke Ozawa, Kunihiko Kinugasa, Hajime Mori, Yuki Minato, Masanobu Watanabe, Hiroyuki Adachi, Tadahiro Mitsuhashi
