    摘要: A residual heat removal ventilation system for spent fuel dry storage facility of nuclear power plant includes a natural ventilation apparatus and a forced ventilation apparatus, comprising a cold air intake chamber, a hot air removal chamber, a pipeline, a ventilation heat shield cylinder, a heat removal fan, and an air cooling equipment having certain connecting relationships and being correspondingly arranged in a storeroom, an operating room and a ventilation equipment room. The system doesn't require storing spent fuel in a pool storage manner. The safety of the spent fuel doesn't rely on power equipment, thus not only reducing routine maintenance, saving energy, but also has inherent safety. Furthermore, the system can be used to cool spent fuel storage canisters within spent fuel storage facility of pebble bed high temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plant, and discharge residual heat of spent fuel storage canisters to the external environment.
