Publication number: 20180374589Abstract: A system for continuously preparing coated particles in a large scale comprises: a coating furnace, a cooling facility, a solid by-product treatment device, and a gas by-product treatment device connected in sequence. The coating furnace is used for coating particles. The cooling facility is used for cooling the coated particles. The solid by-product treatment device is used for treating solid by-products generated in the coating furnace during the particle coating process. The gas by-product treatment device is used for treating gas by-products generated in the coating furnace during the particle coating process. The system for continuously preparing coated particles resolves the problem that a system in the prior art, aiming at batch production, has a time interval between two batches, wherein a temperature increase process and a temperature decrease process both exist, and is small in scale, does not completely break through laboratory research and cannot achieve real industrial continuous preparation.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2016Publication date: December 27, 2018Applicant: Tsinghua UniversityInventors: Bing Liu, Youlin Shao, Malin Liu, Rongzheng Liu, Junguo Zhu, Yaping Tang, Zuoyi Zhang

Publication number: 20180315514Abstract: A spherical fuel element forming apparatus comprises a fuel area forming system, a fuel-free area shaping system and a green sphere pressing system connected sequentially. The fuel area forming system is used for evenly mixing a core sphere matrix powder with nuclear fuel particles and then pressing the mixed core sphere matrix powder and nuclear fuel particles into core spheres. The fuel-free area shaping system is used for preparing a spherical fuel element from the core spheres covered by a fuel-free matrix powder. The green sphere pressing system is used for pressing the spherical fuel elements into green spheres. The spherical fuel element forming apparatus is distributed according to a technical process flow line operation, and is compact in structure and convenient to operate. Sphere greens after being finally pressed are high in sphericity, fuel element cost is lowered, and the finished product rate is high.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2016Publication date: November 1, 2018Inventors: Bing LIU, Jie ZHANG, Zhenming LU, Xiangwen ZHOU, Yaping TANG, Chunhe TANG, Zuoyi ZHANG

Publication number: 20180301234Abstract: A residual heat removal ventilation system for spent fuel dry storage facility of nuclear power plant includes a natural ventilation apparatus and a forced ventilation apparatus, comprising a cold air intake chamber, a hot air removal chamber, a pipeline, a ventilation heat shield cylinder, a heat removal fan, and an air cooling equipment having certain connecting relationships and being correspondingly arranged in a storeroom, an operating room and a ventilation equipment room. The system doesn't require storing spent fuel in a pool storage manner. The safety of the spent fuel doesn't rely on power equipment, thus not only reducing routine maintenance, saving energy, but also has inherent safety. Furthermore, the system can be used to cool spent fuel storage canisters within spent fuel storage facility of pebble bed high temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plant, and discharge residual heat of spent fuel storage canisters to the external environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2015Publication date: October 18, 2018Inventors: Jinhua WANG, Zuoyi ZHANG, Yue LI, Bin WU
