    摘要: A plasma torch has a torch body provided with a plurality of stacked torch body segments disposed between a rear electrode unit and a front electrode unit. The torch body forms a circular channel through which gas flows in an axial direction. Each torch body segment has a circular disc shape in which a central circular through-hole is formed to form the channel. Each segment includes gas supply ports defining a spiral-shaped flow path along the through hole on a first side of the segment so as to introduce a reactive gas, a cooling flow path, a cooling water supply flow path, a cooling water discharge flow path, a gas supply flow path, a gas branch flow path, a cooling water supply branch flow path, and a cooling water discharge branch flow path.

    摘要: A safety cover structure of a nuclear facility is disclosed. The safety cover structure includes: a cover portion rotatably installed on a body protection concrete slab to cover a cavity where a reactor pressure container is located; a driving portion configured to rotate the cover portion relative to the cavity; an opening and closing portion that is installed on the cover portion and is configured to allow materials resulting from cutting and dismantling of the reactor pressure container to move therethrough; a fire extinguishing portion configured to extinguish a fire generated inside the cover portion; a dose sensor installed in the cover portion and configured to measure a radiation dose emitted from the reactor pressure container; and an alarm portion configured to receive a sensing signal from the dose sensor and provide an alarm when the measured radiation dose exceeds a predetermined value.
