A method for restraining a sleeve lining a tube passing through a nuclear reactor pressure vessel is provided. The method includes attaching in situ a radial protrusion on an external surface of the sleeve; and attaching a collar to an end of the tube and coupling the radial protrusion with the collar to retain the thermal sleeve in position.

There is provided an inspection device for inspecting an inner surface of a nozzle provided in a reactor vessel. The inspection device includes: a device frame, an inspection unit provided on the device frame, an inspection unit push-out moving mechanism for pushing out and moving the inspection unit to the inner surface of the nozzle, a rotation moving mechanism for rotating and moving the inspection unit, a calibration test unit arranged on the device frame for calibrating the inspection unit; and a calibration test unit forward/backward moving mechanism for moving the calibration test unit forward or backward in the direction along the central axis with regard to a track where the inspection unit makes push-out movement.

A reactor pressure vessel includes a reactor pressure vessel body, a nozzle structure connected to the reactor pressure vessel body, a conduit structure connected to the nozzle structure, and a restraint device attached around a portion of the conduit structure. The restraint device includes collar parts that have cross sections corresponding to respective segments of a periphery of the portion of the conduit structure, brackets attached to the nozzle structure, and rods connecting the brackets to the collar parts. The collar parts are connected end-to-end to each other such that a cross section of the collar parts connected to each other corresponds to the periphery of the portion of the conduit structure. The collar parts are pinned to each other. The brackets spaced apart from each other around a periphery of the nozzle structure.

Provided are containment apparatus monitoring system and method. The containment apparatus monitoring system includes at least one containment apparatus configured to contain nuclear material and generate containment information including integrity information and radiation information, a converter configured to collect the containment information from the containment apparatus, and a control server configured to analyze integrity of the nuclear material and a radiation state in the containment apparatus by using the containment information collected from the converter and monitor whether the containment apparatus is abnormal by using the analyzed result.

An ultrasonic phased array transducer assembly having a single housing in which a plurality of phased array transducer subassemblies are mounted at a skewed angle relative to a leading face of the housing and to each other, with each transducer mounted on composite wedge(s) at different orientations within the housing.

A sea creature cleaning robot for an intake tunnel for a nuclear power plant includes a frame, cutter assemblies, and walking wheel assemblies; the frame is used for mounting and fixing cutter mounting seats and crawler wheels; the walking wheel assemblies mounted on the frame enable the entire device to normally walk in a tunnel; the cutter assemblies control the height of cutters by means of hydraulic cylinders to make the cutters contact the inner wall of the tunnel, and the hydraulic cylinders drive the saw-toothed cutters to move back and forth to remove sea creatures attached to the inner wall of the tunnel; the cutter assemblies are uniformly distributed on the frame, so as to ensure full coverage of the cleaning range of the cross section of the tunnel. The robot can clean sea creatures in tunnels in place of manual work to significantly improve the cleaning efficiency.
