Abstract:
The required chemical content range of Primary Coolant Piping （Static cast elbow, centrifugally cast pipe） by Design and Construction Rules for Mechanical Components of PWR Nuclear Islands （RCCM）（French Norm） is wide. The result of manufacturing qualification test, which was performed by YANTAI TAIHAI MANOIR NUCLEAR EQUIPMENT CO. LTD. （THM）, shows that qualification pieces satisfied the chemical requirement of RCCM may not satisfy its mechanical requirement. CNPEC/ECE together with THM analyzed the anticorrosion and strengthening mechanism of Material Z3CN2009M （French Brand） for Cast piece of 1000 MW PWR （CRP1000） Primary Coolant Piping through metallography methods. Strictly internal chemical control range of ladle analysis was established and it makes the mechanical property of cast piece of CPR1000 PWR Primary coolant piping satisfy the RCCM requirement without losing the anti-corrosion property and weld ability. The mechanical test value obtained has rich margin, little degree of separation and exhibits stable quality and advanced overall properties. This success solved the preliminary requirement for domestic making of Primary Coolant Piping of NINGDE and YANGJIANG Nuclear Power Plant and finally realized the domestic manufacturing of Primary Coolant Piping cast piece for CRP1000 Nuclear Power Plant.

2009, 30(S2): 39-44.

Abstract(9) PDF(0)

Abstract:
If the pressure of condenser is higher than the set-point value defined as "condenser unavailable", it will be forbidden to dump any steam into the condenser. As a requirement of CPR1000 nuclear power station, bypass steam must be discharged to condenser at least 10-12 seconds incessantly after the reactor has tripped, otherwise the pipes of the main steam system will be overpressure. As the pressure of the condenser will rise rapidly during some transient conditions, a transient calculation about condenser is needed to meet the requirement of safe dumping steam for nuclear island. A transient calculation in this paper will simulate the pressure variety of condenser related with turbine trip and reactor trip, and the technical solution about avoiding main steam system overpressure is analyzed for safe dumping steam from the nuclear island.

Abstract:
Based on the nuclear power thermal-hydraulic model, Labview graphical programming language and virtual instrument data acquisition technology, this paper describes a dedicate test platform to solve the problem that the reactor control system （RRC） can not be evaluated and analyzed far before the actual startup of the unit.

LIU Jing-jing, HAN Pin-lin

2009, 30(S2): 92-99.

Abstract(7) PDF(0)

Abstract:
Since Ling’Ao Nuclear Power Plant Units 3＆4 （L2）, the CPR1000 Nuclear Power Plants （NPP） use Digital Control System （DCS） as their control means. And more advanced third generation NPP also implements DCS. The reliability of Reactor Protection System （RPS） is very important to plant safety. However, because of many redundancy equipments are used in DCS part of the RPS, it’s complicated to model RPS in detail. Until now, there have been few research in-depth. To evaluate the effect of DCS to plant safety, one reactor trip fault tree and one engineered safety features actuation fault tree are built, referring to SIEMENS’ research on RPS of L2. Both input data provided by SIEMENS and calculated by using failure rates, testing periods, and β factors are used to recalculate the RPS Probabilistic Safety Assessment （PSA） results. And more actual results, such as dominant cut sets and failure probability are obtained. According to the recalculated results, the failure probability of reactor trip is 5.5×10^-8 when considering double redundancy. This value satisfies the reliability target, which is 1.0×10^-7. And the failure probability of auxiliary feedwater motor-driven pump actuation signal is 5.21×10^-6, or 8.32×10^-6, which also satisfies its reliability target （1.0×10^-5）. The DCS instrumentation and control system of NPP fulfills its reliability target.

2009, 30(S2): 105-108.

Abstract(7) PDF(0)

Abstract:
On the basis of Rankine-Cycle, this paper introduces the characteristics and innovative advantages of Kalina-Cycle, and briefs the development status in other countries. It mainly analyzes and describes the feasibility of applying Kalina-Cycle in second-loop of nuclear power plants academically. The conclusion indicates that by applying Kalina-Cycle, the thermal efficiency of nuclear power plants can be increased by above 10% and the costs of investment in circulating cool-water system and reheating system can also be decreased considerably. However, the change of medium in second-loop of nuclear power plants will change the heat energy system accordingly, in addition, the change of thermal system will lead to the re-R＆D of the whole thermal system facilities.Whether Kalina-Cycle can be used in the second-loop system of nuclear power plant, there are still many problems to be reviewed.
