    摘要: An apparatus for controlling movement of a first component integrated with a second component may include a first clamp configured to engage the first component, a second clamp configured to engage the second component, and a plurality of connectors configured to connect the first and second clamps. The connectors may allow movement of the first clamp relative to the second clamp in a first direction between the first and second clamps. The connectors may limit movement of the first clamp relative to the second clamp in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

    摘要: A boiling water nuclear reactor (BWR) multi-stage jet pump mixer assembly according to a non-limiting embodiment of the present invention may include at least one nozzle disposed above a first throat structure which is arranged within a second throat structure. The multi-stage jet pump mixer assembly is configured such that when a drive flow is discharged from the nozzle into the first throat structure, a first suction stage occurs in that a first entrained flow is drawn into the first entrainment entrance and forms a mixed flow. The mixed flow exiting the first throat structure then induces a second entrained flow into the second entrainment entrance during a second suction stage. By employing a multi-stage approach, jet pump efficiency may be improved.

    摘要: An embodiment of the present invention takes the form of a system that may reduce the level of flow-induced vibration (FIV) experienced by a jet pump assembly or other similar object within a pressure vessel. Essentially, an embodiment of the present invention may reduce the slip-joint leakage, which may be a cause of the FIVs, by adding a flow-limiting component to an outlet of the slip joint. This component may take the form of a collar, channel, and/or other component that may be connectable to a component of the jet pump assembly. After installation, an embodiment of the present invention may lower the amplitude of, and/or change the frequency of, the FIVs experienced by the jet pump assembly.

    摘要: A temperature sensor array includes several temperature sensors at different positions for installation within an instrumentation tube of a nuclear reactor. The temperature sensors measure temperature at multiple axial positions of the nuclear reactor, and plant operators are able to access and interpret this measurement data. Temperatures associated with vessel coolant boiling or loss and/or fuel damage can be detected by the temperature sensors to permit more direct determinations of core fluid levels. Multiple temperature sensor arrays permit vessel fluid levels and conditions to be measured at multiple core locations.

    摘要: A post-accident fission product removal system may include an air mover, a filter assembly, and/or an ionization chamber. The air mover may be configured to move contaminated air through the filter assembly to produce filtered air. The ionization chamber may be connected to the filter assembly. The ionization chamber may include an anode and a cathode. The ionization chamber may be configured to receive the filtered air from the filter assembly and to ionize and capture radioisotopes from the filtered air to produce clean air.
