Method for removing thermal sleeve from cold leg of reactor coolant system

摘要

Disclosed is a method for removing a thermal sleeve from a cold leg of a reactor coolant system, which enables removal of an unintentionally separated thermal sleeve without implementation of a pipe cutting operation, preventing invasion of impurities into pipes and securing reliability in repetitious welding of the pipes. In particular, the method enables a remote operation and an underwater operation using wire ropes, thus being capable of minimizing a negative effect on workers due to radiation exposure.
