AP1000 reactor coolant pump uses the shielding pump with high inertia flywheel,and its cleaning,lubrication,sealing and cooling function are realized by auxiliary impeller to circulate the cooling water.No repair is required in the design life of 60 years.Canopy seals weld,as the RCP installation welds between the moving parts and the pump shell,acts as the seal of the internal circulating cooling water of the RCP.The Canopy seals qualification of welding procedure,type tests,and welding process control of site installation,nondestructive testing of quality control are discussed,in order to ensure the safety,quality and progress of AP1000 RCP installation welding on site.

Abstract:
On the background of reconstruction of sea water cooling system pipeline,this paper analyzes the status of the anticorrosion of the sea water cooling water system pipe.Taking the generator air cooler water pipe with most serious corrosion as an example,the cause for the serious corrosion is analyzed,and a new technology for anticorrosion is developed,the improvement measures is proposed,through continuous improvement,and a good anticorrosion result is obtained.
Developing Features of Sandy Coast in Rizhao and Stability Analysis

Abstract:
Based on the high-precision repeated observations on the representative cross-section and grain size analysis on surficial sediment,the short-term shoreline evolution dynamics in the winter in 2010 were studied.Combined with the topographic maps and remote sensing images,long-term shoreline evolution was also discussed.The results show that beach ridge-tidal creek is representative topographical feature.Beach ridges commonly develop between high tidal zone and middle tidal zone.Tidal creeks commonly develop between middle tidal zone and low tidal zone.The phenomenon that beach ridges swing landward is a typical signal of coastal erosion,which can be attributed to the strong impulse wave overtopping.The overall tendency that high tidal zone was eroded and low tidal zone is filled up can be clearly revealed in the winter in 2010.The coast is slowly eroded in short term and erosion pattern alters from drawing back to scouring vertically.
Enterprise Risk Management of Nuclear Power Enterprise

2014, 35(S1): 196-199.
Abstract:
At present,there is no such publication which has systematically discussed the nuclear power enterprise risk management in China,and there is no relatively mature and perfect system can be used for reference in the field of nuclear power in China.This paper analyzed the risk management problems of the Fukushima accident.Based on the actual condition of the nuclear power,this paper introduced the main work of enterprise risk management to carry out and the content of risk management in the nuclear power company,and also summarized the experience and gave some suggestions to the future work.
Necessity of Developing Nuclear Energy in China
Yang Chen, Fang Chao, Tong Jiejuan
2014, 35(S1): 200-202.
Abstract:
The study on nuclear energy development is summarized in the following four conclusions:the development of nuclear power can offset the electricity deficit of economic development;it is necessary to develop nuclear energy which is a kind of stable low-carbon energy considering CO2 emission reduction;with a good foundation of industrial chain of steady progressing,nuclear development cannot be easily forsaken from sustainable development perspective;and the nuclear fuel is an important way of safeguarding energy security,promoting self-sufficiency of energy and replacing fossil energy import.Therefore it is very important to improve nuclear safety and the public acceptance to ensure that nuclear energy can be developed steadily.
Comprehensive Control of TOC in Demineralized Water at AP1000 Nuclear Power Plant
Liu Yongfeng, Zhang Huazheng
2014, 35(S1): 203-205.
Abstract:
AP1000 as the third generation of nuclear power units,requires its operation water to be below 50ppm of TOC as described in its Chemistry Manual.TOC contained in Demineralized Water(DW) is mainly the residual of the process of DW raw water pre-treatment.Another source of TOC is owing to decomposition of the organic materials in the system.When exposed to high temperature or radiation,TOC yields organic acid which will corrode metallic materials.TOC contained in DW can be effectively removed by operations of mixed condensing,reverse osmosis(RO),ultra-violet ray radiation,and etc.

Abstract:
This paper introduces the vacuum exhaust method for the reactor primary loop of Pressurized Water Reactor(PWR) nuclear power plant.It describes the scheme design and operation process of the vacuum exhaust device that is constituted by the temporary cover with sealing ring and vacuum releaser.This is the first time in China for reactor primary loop to be vacuum exhausted during the low-low water level in reactor plant overhaul.It makes the dynamic draining air process not needed,and effectively shortens 10 hours at least in the critical path time of the overhaul,reduces the damage risk of RCP pump,improves the economy and security of reactor power plant operation.
