20220003578 · 2022-01-06 ·

Embodiments of the disclosure discloses a calibration bracket. The calibration bracket includes a base, a vertical rod, a transverse force application member and a transverse force application mating member. The vertical rod is detachably mounted to the base. The transverse force application member is disposed on one of the base and the vertical rod. The transverse force application mating member is disposed on the other of the base and the vertical rod and is configured to be connected to the transverse force application member to apply, to the vertical rod, a force parallel to the base. A limiting protrusion is provided on one of the base and the vertical rod. A limiting opening is provided on the other of the base and the vertical rod. The limiting opening can allow the limiting protrusion to pass through the limiting opening and snugly abut against the limiting protrusion when the transverse force application member applies a transverse force to the vertical rod. By means of the structure described above, the vertical rod can be quickly mounted to or detached from the base. Therefore, the calibration bracket is easy to assemble and transport.

METHOD FOR THERMAL SLEEVE ELIMINATION

Arrangements and devices for reducing and/or preventing wear of a thermal sleeve in a nuclear reactor are disclosed. Arrangements include a first structure provided on or in one the thermal sleeve and a second structure provided on or in the head penetration adapter. At least a portion of the first structure and at least another portion of the second structure interact to resist, reduce, and/or prevent rotation of the thermal sleeve about its central axis relative to the head penetration adapter. Devices include a base for coupling to a guide tube of the reactor and a plurality of protruding members extending upward from the base. Each member having a portion for engaging a corresponding portion of a guide funnel of the thermal sleeve.

ACOUSTO-OPTIC LEAKAGE MONITORING SYSTEM FOR NUCLEAR POWER PLANT MAIN STEAM PIPELINE

An acousto-optic leakage monitoring system for main steam pipeline in nuclear power plant. The system includes an acoustic emission leakage monitoring loop and a spectrum leakage monitoring loop, wherein the signal input ends of the acoustic emission leakage monitoring loop and the signal input ends of the spectrum leakage monitoring loop are respectively arranged at detection points of the main steam pipeline. The signal output ends of the acoustic emission leakage monitoring loop and the signal output ends of the spectrum leakage monitoring loop are communicatively connected to each other through a network switch, and the network switch is sequentially connected with a control unit and a display unit. Compared with the prior art, the acousto-optic leakage monitoring system for the main steam pipeline in nuclear power plant according to the present invention provides early warning before the main steam pipeline leaks and realizes the diversity and redundancy of the main steam pipeline leakage monitoring methods by combining acoustic emission and spectroscopy, so that the detection results are more credible, and the maintenance cost after installation is extremely low. The detection sensitivity is higher and the response time is shortened, which significantly improves the response speed after leakage is found and provides a larger safety margin.
