In the example of injecting hydrogen in the water supply system after the condenser of the primary cooling system of this boiling water nuclear power plant, the hydrogen injection device 13 is arranged upstream of the water supply pump 18 and the injected hydrogen is used as water in the core. The aim was to re-combine oxygen and hydrogen peroxide generated as a result of radiolysis to reduce the dissolved oxygen concentration in each part of the primary cooling system including the recirculation pump 6.

FIG. 3 shows the measurement results of the oxygen concentration in the reactor water measured outside the reactor when hydrogen was injected, for plants in Japan and overseas. As can be seen from the figure, although there are differences depending on the plant, the dissolved oxygen in the reactor water can be reduced to a level of 20 ppb or less, which is required to suppress crack growth due to SCC, with a relatively small amount of hydrogen injection.

The biggest problem of hydrogen injection is N-16 which is generated in water as a result of adding hydrogen and making the water quality of the reactor water become a reducing atmosphere.
Among them, the rate of conversion to volatile ammonia increases, and the radiation dose rate (hereinafter referred to as dose rate) in turbine system piping and equipment increases. Fig. 4 shows a practical example. From the figure, when hydrogen is injected, the hydrogen concentration in the feed water is 400 ppb.
It can be seen that the main steam system dose rate rapidly increases beyond the front and back. As shown in the reaction mechanism diagrammatically in Fig. 5, this is due to the radioactive nitrogen (half-life of 7.1) that is normally generated by the (n, p) reaction from oxygen atoms in water molecules in an oxidizing atmosphere.
Second) reacts with the decomposition products of water in water and is usually dissolved in water in the form of nitric acid or nitrous acid, whereas the addition of hydrogen increases the concentration of reducing hydrogen atoms and hydrated electrons. Therefore, it can be understood that the amount of volatile ammonia increases.
Since the main steam is guided to the turbine 11 arranged in the turbine building, an increase in the main steam system dose rate causes an increase in the turbine system dose rate. Since the turbine system dose rate controls the dose rate at the site boundary of the nuclear power plant, the hydrogen addition amount is practically 400 ppb.
The above increase will not be possible with domestic reactors with a narrow site.

A simulation analysis of radiolysis of BWR water shows that if the hydrogen concentration in the feed water is set to 400 ppb, a corrosive environment mitigation effect in the furnace, especially a corrosive environment mitigation effect at the furnace bottom can be expected. An example of the evaluation result by theoretical analysis is shown in FIG. Oxygen, hydrogen, and hydrogen peroxide are present in reactor water in relatively high concentrations, and each has an inherent effect on material corrosion, but the corrosion potential is widely adopted as a unified indicator of material stress corrosion cracking susceptibility. . FIG. 6 shows the distribution in the pressure vessel of the corrosion potential calculated from the calculation results of water decomposition products based on the mixed potential theory. The left side of Fig. 6 shows the result when normal operation is performed, and the right side shows the result when hydrogen is injected from the water supply system to a hydrogen concentration of 0.4 ppm in the water supply, and the corrosive environment of the structural material under the pressure vessel is greatly mitigated. Is shown to be done. As shown in the figure, when hydrogen is not added, the corrosive environment is severe throughout the furnace, whereas adding 0.4 ppm of hydrogen in the feed water (corresponding to 50 ppb in the reactor water) can sufficiently reduce the corrosive environment at the bottom of the furnace. Recognize. Therefore, it is possible to mitigate the corrosive environment of the furnace bottom without increasing the dose rate of the turbine system. However,
Materials near the core (shrouds, core support plates, etc.) cannot be said to have sufficient environmental improvement at 0.4 ppm in the feed water, and it is necessary to increase the hydrogen injection amount.

It has been similarly obtained from simulation calculations that the concentration of corrosive components in the reactor water changes by changing the flow conditions of the reactor core. Basically, the higher the dose of water accumulated near the core, the more severe the corrosive environment as hydrogen peroxide accumulates in the water. Moreover, when the flow conditions of the core change and the residence time of water in the neutron irradiation field becomes long, the production amount of radioactive nitrogen also increases. That is, by changing the flow conditions near the core and shortening the residence time of the reactor water in a high dose rate irradiation field, the concentration of radiolysis products of water in the reactor water and the amount of radioactive nitrogen generated are reduced. It is possible.

[Function] As a result of irradiation of reactor water in the reactor core and in the vicinity of high dose rate fields, water decomposition products are produced in the reactor water, and the concentration of the water decomposes the dose rate and the retention of reactor water in that region. Depends on time. Accumulation of hydrogen peroxide cannot be ignored in the region of low flow velocity and high accumulated dose.

FIG. 7 shows a region corresponding to a region between the core support plate 20 and the upper lattice plate 39, assuming that the flow velocity on the inner surface of the shroud surrounding the core side face of the nuclear reactor is slower than the average flow velocity of the core portion. It shows the analysis result of the distribution of the corrosion potential of the shroud. According to the figure, hydrogen peroxide accumulates on the inner surface of the shroud due to the above-mentioned retention effect, and the corrosion potential becomes severer near the upper part of the core, resulting in a result close to 200 mV. The same effect of hydrogen injection is expected on the inner surface of the shroud, but S
It does not reach -230 mV, which is said to cause no CC. -230mV is not an absolute target, but -100mV
Even with V, it is expected that the SCC crack growth rate will be reduced by an order of magnitude. However, the above result is the case where there is an upward flow on the inner surface of the shroud at a later time, and the actual flow state of the inner surface of the shroud is not necessarily clarified. In some cases, it may be stagnant or in a downward flow, and in this case, hydrogen injection effect cannot be expected. That is, if a relatively fast upflow is formed on the inner surface of the shroud, the corrosive environment during normal operation is almost at a level close to the lower part of the core (corrosion potential of about 50 mV), and the effect of hydrogen injection can be surely expected. By forming a vertical water flow region between the inner surface of the shroud and the core to increase the upward flow velocity of the reactor water on the inner surface of the shroud, the corrosive environment of the inner surface of the shroud is improved. It

On the other hand, radioactive nitrogen is produced by a nuclear reaction between oxygen atoms in reactor water and high-ergic neutrons. Radioactive nitrogen 16 has a short half-life of 7.1 seconds, but 6.1 MeV
It emits high energy gamma rays along with the decay, which is the main cause of the increase in the dose rate of the primary piping of the reactor plant during operation. However, the primary system piping is sufficiently shielded from the outside, and there is no problem because a person does not enter near the primary system piping during operation. In addition, radioactive nitrogen 16
Reacts with hydrogen atoms in water to form ammonia, but when it becomes volatile components such as ammonia, it is released along with steam into the turbine piping, which is the main cause of increasing the dose rate at the turbine building and site boundaries. Since the radioactive nitrogen 16 reacts with hydrogen atoms in water to become ammonia, if the time during which the radioactive nitrogen 16 stays in water is shortened, the amount of ammonia becomes less.

The radioactive nitrogen 16 has a short life, but the residence time in the core is usually 2 seconds or less, so that the amount of generation in the core is almost proportional to the residence time in the neutron irradiation field. The present invention preheats the reactor water before reaching the neutron irradiation field and shifts the boiling start point to a position where the neutron flux is as low as possible, or by boiling before reaching the neutron irradiation field. The main point is to increase the phase flow region. The heat generated in the core is transferred to the upstream side of the core, and the transferred heat is used to preheat the reactor water. The shroud is composed of a plurality of concentric partition walls, and the vertical water flow is divided by the partition walls. By forming a region and preheating the reactor water flowing through the region with the heat of the core, the boiling point of the reactor water moves upstream of the neutron irradiation field, and the neutron of the reactor water, in the gamma ray irradiation field Residence time in the liquid phase is reduced. In the two-phase flow, the flow velocity of water becomes faster and the residence time in the neutron irradiation field also becomes shorter, so the amount of radioactive nitrogen generated is correspondingly reduced. When the amount of generated radioactive nitrogen decreases, the amount of ammonia that reacts with hydrogen in the reactor water to form ammonia decreases, and the amount of radioactive nitrogen that flows into the turbine system in the form of ammonia decreases. Therefore, it is not necessary to suppress the amount of hydrogen to be injected to improve the water quality of the reactor water, and the required amount of hydrogen can be injected into the reactor water.

In the present embodiment, the heat pipe group 21 conveys the heat generated in the nuclear fuel part to the lower part of the core (upstream of the core of the flow of the reactor water), and before the reactor water flows into the neutron irradiation field of the core, It preheats or preboils reactor water to reduce the residence time of water in the neutron irradiation field.

That is, the chemical form of radioactive nitrogen changes in the non-boiling region of the neutron irradiation field, so if the reactor water is boiled at the stage before reaching the neutron irradiation field,

FIG. 9 shows a specific example of the installation of the heat pipe shown in FIG. 1, in which the heat pipe 25 is incorporated under the fuel pellet 24 inside the fuel rod cladding tube 23. In FIG. 10, in order to further improve the heat transfer efficiency, the fuel pellets are hollow fuel pellets 26 having a hollow structure, and the upper portion of the heat pipe 25 is disposed inside the fuel pellets. The rod covering tube 23 is provided with fins 27. A part of the heat generated by the nuclear fission of the fuel pellets is transferred by the heat pipe 25 to the upstream side, that is, in the lower part of the figure, and the reactor water before flowing into the core is preheated by the transferred heat. As a result, the boiling position of the reactor water in the core shifts to the upstream side, and the time during which the reactor water receives the neutron irradiation in the liquid phase is shortened.

FIG. 11 shows a cross section of a reactor according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the shroud 19 has a double cylindrical structure, and the other structure is the same as that shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the feed water is poured into the upper part of the double cylindrical structure annulus portion 36 of the shroud 19 so that the feed water, that is, the reactor water flows through the annulus portion 36 to the lower plenum 7, and the reactor water flows from the upper portion of the annulus portion 36. It uses the heat of the core to heat the reactor water while flowing toward the bottom, and is preheated before the reactor water flows into the core,
The same effect as the first embodiment can be obtained.

FIG. 12 shows a third embodiment of the present invention. A part of the core support plate 20 is provided with a water passage hole 29 for connecting the inner region of the shroud 19 and the lower plenum 7 to the shroud 1.
Baffle plates 28 are provided between the core 9 and the core 1, respectively, and a flow path 37 of reactor water is formed on the inner surface of the shroud 19 from below to above. The flow velocity can be increased by narrowing the distance between the inner surface of the rectifying plate 28 and the shroud 19 as much as possible,
It has the effect of mitigating the corrosive environment. For example, the distance between the inner surface of the shroud 19 and the current plate 28 is 1 cm, and the flow velocity is 10
The flow rate of the reactor water flow path 37 at 0 cm / s is about 50 kg / s in the entire core, which is a level that does not cause a problem in the heat balance of the entire reactor. The straightening vane 28 does not need to completely isolate the reactor water flow path 37 from the core portion, and may be a strip-shaped one to be welded to the upper lattice plate 39 as needed. As shown in FIG. 13, the straightening vanes 28 interfere with the fuel assemblies 32 and the like, and it is difficult to form an integral structure that is continuous over the entire circumference of the core, but between the fuel bundles 32 and the straightening vanes 28. It doesn't matter if there are gaps. Since the current plate 28 itself does not need to support the weight and is not a pressure boundary,
It is not a problem that the corrosive environment on the inner surface of the current plate 28 becomes severe.

FIG. 14 shows the third embodiment, in which the upper part of the shroud 19 is provided with a water passage 3 for communicating the inside and outside of the shroud 19.
4, the pressure outside the shroud is lower than the pressure above the core, so that it is possible to secure a higher flow velocity on the inner surface of the shroud than in the case of the example shown in FIG.

FIG. 15 shows a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In the illustrated fourth embodiment, an upper grid plate connection type internal partition wall 33 is provided around the core 1 to form a descending flow path 38 between the inner wall surface of the shroud 19 and the upper and lower sides of the shroud 19 itself. Water passage holes 34 and 35 are provided to connect the flow path 38 and the downcomer. The operation of the recirculation pump 6 forms a flow from the upper part to the lower part in the downcomer, and the flow of the reactor water in the same direction as in the downcomer is also formed in the flow path as the recirculation pump 6 operates. . In this case, since water having substantially the same water quality as that of the downcomer flows on the inner surface of the shroud 19, the corrosive environment can be expected to be mitigated in both normal operation and hydrogen injection.

As described above, according to the present invention, the position at which the reactor water starts to boil moves to the upstream side, and the time during which the reactor water stays in the liquid phase in the core portion and its vicinity becomes shorter. ,
The amount of decomposition products generated by neutron irradiation of water is reduced, and the corrosive environment is mitigated. Similarly, not only can the total amount of radioactive nitrogen generated be reduced, but since neutron irradiation occurs in the region where hydrogen is released into the gas phase, radioactive nitrogen during hydrogen injection is less susceptible to the reducing action, and The upper limit will be significantly higher. Therefore, according to the present invention, the upper limit of the hydrogen injection amount is relaxed, and the hydrogen can be injected as much as practically required, so that the soundness of the structural material of the nuclear reactor is ensured, and the merit in the stable supply of energy is great.
