UNDERGROUND NUCLEAR POWER PLANT BUILT AROUND SHIPBOARD REACTOR UNITS

摘要

FIELD: nuclear power engineering. SUBSTANCE: power plant has transport tunnel. Reactor core refueling compartment is organized at end opposing tunnel outlet. This compartment is isolated from transport tunnel by means of sealed gate valve and communicates with load trucks provided in tunnel. Refueling equipment is made in the form of automated device that incorporates mechanized assemblies and units. The latter provide for flow refueling of reactor cores. Safety system equipment of nuclear reactors is furnished with small-size cooling subsystem with off-line power supply. EFFECT: enhanced operating safety of power plant. 1 cl, 1 dwg
