"Development of Leak Location Identification Technology for Containment Vessels"

Hitachi GE-Nuclear Energy Co., Ltd. CORPORATION Mitsubi shi H eavy I nd ust ri es, Ltd . 1. Purpose of Research & Development 1

To take out core fuel in a state in which the boundary functions of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) and the primary containment vessel (PCV) are lost, we must repair the

PCV to reconstruct the boundary and to fill DSP SFP the PCV with water. Observation device mounted with a camera (remote)カメラ搭載観察装置(遠隔) The vicinity of the PCV is under high RPV radiation dose and has narrow spaces. Observationカメラ搭載観察装置 device mounted with a PCV Moreover, the PCV lower part (suppression camera chamber) is flooded. The technology that identifies the damaged areas under such Torusトーラス室 environments has not yet been established. room

We must develop such equipment and the check and investigative techniques under a Primaryygg containment vessel leakage location investigation hig h ra dia tion dosage env ironmen t, w ithin conceptual diagram narrow spaces, and in underwater environments. 2. Details of Research & Development 2

1. Study and equipment design for check and investigative techniques - Study the technique used to identify the leakage locations of the containment vessel and reac tor bu ilding, and des ign the equ ipmen t.

2. Fabrication and improvement of the check and investigative equipment - Fabricate equipment to identify the leakage locations of the containment vessel and reactor building, perform the actual equipment-applicability evaluation (field validation), and advance improvement if needed.

Vent pipe Moving apparatus Under a high radiation dose, the moving apparatus can travel on the outside surface of the steel pipes with 2,000 mm-diameter (vent pipes), and it can approach the area of investigation from the clearance gap (most narrow gap: 110 mm) between the concrete walls and the vent pipes.

Measuring device The measuring device can be mounted on the above-mentioned Concrete wall traveling apparatus and has a high-resolution CCD for visible light, infrared rays, and ultraviolet rays, in order to determine minute defects, damage, and leakage. It should be verified that its electronic equipment operates normally under a high-dosage radiation environment.
