Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to spent fuel storage in a nuclear power plant, in particular to a spare neutron absorption assembly for a spent fuel storage grid.
Background
The spent fuel storage grillwork is positioned in the spent fuel storage pool of the auxiliary factory building, and mainly provides a storage space for spent fuel assemblies discharged out of the reactor core, and temporarily stores new and spent fuel assemblies (including the inserts) to be piled. The spent fuel storage grillwork should meet the requirements of cooling and subcritical storage of the fuel assembly for all expected conditions. Spent fuel discharged from a nuclear power plant reactor has strong radioactivity and continues to release heat, and needs to be stored in a spent fuel pool for a quite long time, and after the condition of export is met (typically 10 calendar years), the spent fuel is exported to a special storage facility. Because of the high cost of long-term spent fuel storage facilities and fuel export which are not mature in China, the improvement of the in-plant storage capacity of a nuclear power plant is a main countermeasure at present, namely, the dense spent fuel storage technology is adopted. On the premise of ensuring safety, the storage of the spent fuel assemblies in the nuclear power plant as much as possible is a key technical problem of the design of the spent fuel storage grillwork. The fixed neutron absorbing material is a key component of the spent fuel storage grillwork, and has the requirements and measures of in-service monitoring, but if failure occurs, the neutron absorbing material is replaced without means except that the spent fuel storage grillwork is scrapped as a whole, so that the economy is poor, and the operation is very inconvenient.
