ことになる。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In nuclear fission reactors, radioactive and other fission products require safety equipment that operates well under any conditions. Now, assuming a hypothetical reactor severe accident in which all safety equipment for cooling the core fuel in the pressure vessel does not operate, the molten core fuel falls through the pressure vessel and opens below the pressure vessel. It will stay on the floor of the space. As a matter of course, since the melting core has a high temperature, it has a great influence on the surroundings, and conventionally, in order to end the severe accident, cooling water is injected into the melting core.

げられる。As a technique of this type for injecting water into the molten core, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-245191, the cooling water passage of the vent pipe is entirely opened from the upper dry well to the open space under the pressure vessel. Connected to the wet well via the above-mentioned method, one described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-222872 that pours water into the open space by pouring water between the pressure vessel and the radiation shielding wall, and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. As described in Japanese Patent No. 281190, water in the suppression pool is poured into the open space.

In the equipment described in Japanese Patent No. 872, since the core is injected into the open space below the pressure vessel even in the event of a main steam pipe breakage in which the core does not melt and fall from the pressure vessel, the control rod drive device installed here is Since there is a possibility that the device will be adversely affected due to water infiltration, and in the equipment of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-281190, when the valve connecting the suppression pool and the open space malfunctions during normal operation, the same as above. There is an adverse effect.

所の増加となる点で好ましくない。Further, it is conceivable to multiplex the safety equipment in order to increase the reliability of the safety equipment. For example, it is necessary to newly install a pipe for injecting water into the open space below the pressure vessel from outside the containment vessel. It is not preferable because it increases the number of penetrations and increases the number of locations where radioactive material may leak when an accident occurs.

成するようにしたものである。That is, the present invention comprises a pressure vessel having a reactor core built therein, and a suppression pool surrounding the pressure vessel and holding cooling water between the pressure vessel and the pressure vessel. In a reactor vessel provided with a containment vessel and a cooling water circulation system which is arranged outside the containment vessel and guides the cooling water of the suppression pool to the outside and returns it to the inside of the containment vessel after cooling, outside the containment vessel, While being provided with a water injection tank connected to the cooling water circulation system and provided with a water supply pump, inside the containment vessel,
One end is connected to the piping inside the containment vessel of the cooling water circulation system,
The other end communicates with the open space directly below the pressure vessel, and a piping system with a control valve is installed in the middle, and the water supply pump and control valve are injected only when an accident occurs when core debris is discharged into the open space. It is designed to achieve the intended purpose.

Water is injected into the open space under the pressure vessel by remote control, and water is injected into the open space under the pressure vessel by responding to the ambient temperature. In addition, a bimetal or a shape memory alloy is used as a sensor or an object that responds to environmental temperature.

Water is injected into this space only when the core melts and drops into the open space.Furthermore, the facility for injecting water into the open space under the pressure vessel according to the present invention is the conventional safety system for the core cooling system and the containment vessel cooling system. Since it is connected to a cooling water source and water injection pump that are independent of the cooling water source and water injection pump owned by the company, even if there is a problem with the cooling water source and water injection pump of the conventional safety equipment, it will be melted by the independent equipment. Water can be injected into the core fuel.

水はされない。Further, even if the control mechanism malfunctions during normal operation, the pump is formed so as to perform water injection only when an accident occurs in which core debris is discharged into the open space.
Water is not injected into the lower part of the pressure vessel unless this water injection pump is driven.

かわらず増加することはないのである。Furthermore, since the water injection facility to the open space under the pressure vessel is constructed so as to be connected (branched) inside the containment vessel with the conventional core cooling system and containment vessel cooling system safety equipment, The number of reactor containment vessels and penetrations is the same, and the possibility of radioactive material leakage will not increase despite the installation of new equipment.

Further, by closing the valve, the pump 5 and the heat exchanger 4 are separated from the safety equipment pipe 3, so that the recovery work can be performed during the cooling of the melting core. In addition, pump 1

In FIG. 3, the open space 17 under the pressure vessel has a much higher temperature than during normal operation or during an accident other than a severe accident. Therefore, the operation in this accident can be automatically performed by setting the sensor so as to perform a series of operations according to the present invention when a certain temperature or higher is reached.

ルートが受動的に確保される。FIG. 5 shows another embodiment applied to the boiling water reactor of the present invention. This uses a melting valve for the valves 11 and 12. When a normal valve is used for this safety equipment, it is desirable to install it in a position different from the open space 17 under the pressure vessel in order to prevent the valve from being damaged by the molten core fuel. However, since the melting valve has a structure that automatically opens by the heat generated by the molten core fuel, the valves 11, 12
Must be placed in the open space 17 under the pressure vessel. According to the present invention, since the melting valve plays the role of the sensor, the sensor is not necessary, and the water injection route to the open space 17 under the pressure vessel is passively secured.

In this accident, it is possible to prevent flooding of devices such as the control rod drive mechanism in this part, so it is easy to restore these devices, and compared to the conventional reactors that do not have severe accident response equipment, The safety at the time of an accident is improved, and the maintainability of the equipment is improved as compared with the conventional water injection facility into the open space under the pressure vessel.

る。Further, by cooling the melted and dropped fuel by using a high pressure spray, the possibility of a steam explosion can be further reduced, so that the safety at the time of a severe accident of the reactor can be further improved, and further the automatic detection by the sensor is possible. Since water is injected into the molten core during an accident, the number of operations by the operator can be reduced, and the operability for ending the accident is improved. Further, even in a more severe case where the sensor in the open space below the pressure vessel is broken, water can be injected at the operator's discretion, which has the effect of maintaining the accident termination of the reactor.

Also, by using a bimetal or shape memory alloy as a sensor or an object that responds to ambient temperature, the sensor can be simplified and the probability of failure can be reduced, improving the reliability of safety equipment of the reactor.
