A reactor vessel head for a pressurized water reactor. This structure is attached to the top of the reactor vessel body. It contains penetrations to allow the control rod driving mechanism to attach to the control rods in the fuel assembly. The coolant level measurement probe also enters the vessel through the reactor vessel head.
Commonly used for ASME pressure vessels, these torispherical heads have a crown radius equal to the outside diameter of the head (=), and a knuckle radius equal to 6% of the outside diameter (=). The ASME design code does not allow the knuckle radius to be any less than 6% of the outside diameter.
The reactor pressure vessel is manufactured from ductile steel but, as the plant is operated, neutron flux from the reactor causes this steel to become less ductile. Eventually the ductility of the steel will reach limits determined by the applicable boiler and pressure vessel standards, and the pressure vessel must be repaired or replaced ...
The name "ikman" comes from the Sinhala term "ඉක්මන්" meaning "fast", or "quick". [1] ikman.lk Launched in June 2013 and is owned by Swedish company Saltside Technologies. ikman.lk became the 6th most visited website in Sri Lanka after three months of operation. [2] The site was initially developed by technical teams based in Sweden ...
GE further developed the BWR-1 design with the 70 MW Big Rock Point (9×9, 11×11, 12×12) reactor, which (like all GE BWR models following Dresden 1) used the more economical direct cycle method of heat transfer, but disposed with the external recirculation pumps in favor of natural circulation (an unusual strategy that only the 55 MW ...
The IRIS pressure vessel and systems contained within it. The coolant system consists of a pressurizer, Steam generators, and reactor coolant pumps (RCPs).These are all located within the reactor pressure vessel, making a very small, short loop that forms the primary coolant system, see the figure on the right for the relative locations of the components.
A pressure reactor, sometimes referred to as a pressure tube, or a sealed tube, is a chemical reaction vessel which can conduct a reaction under pressure. A pressure reactor is a special application of a pressure vessel. The pressure can be caused by the reaction itself or created by an external source, like hydrogen in catalytic transfer ...
To support the industrial capacity to fabricate the large forgings for a reactor pressure vessel, a heavy forge unit has been set up as a joint venture by the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) and Indian engineering conglomerate Larsen & Toubro's subsidiary L&T Special Steels and Heavy Forgings Limited in Hazira, Gujarat. The ...
