Definitions
- the invention relates to a concrete protective housing for receiving and storing a fuel element storage container that is loaded with spent nuclear reactor fuel elements and is suitable for transport and storage, the clear dimensions of the concrete protective housing being somewhat larger than the external dimensions of the fuel element container.
- silo containers made of concrete or reinforced concrete.
- These silo containers forming a concrete protective housing can have different designs.
- the protective container has lateral supply air ducts on the lower edge of the casing and lateral exhaust air ducts in the region of the upper casing edge below the cover (patent application P 30 17 767.4).
- the arrangement of these exhaust air and supply air channels results in natural convection within the concrete protective housing, which is used to dissipate the residual heat.
- the invention is based on the object of designing a concrete protective housing for receiving fuel element containers in such a way that simple monitoring of the fuel element containers is possible during their intermediate storage.
- the object is achieved in that measuring probes embedded in the concrete are arranged on the inside of the casing of the concrete protective housing.
- the the B race element container monitoring probes are now already before loading the concrete protective housing with the fuel element container. Cumbersome and time-consuming mounting of the measuring devices can be omitted.
- the measuring probes and their electrical connection lines can already be cast into the concrete housing.
- An advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized by the features of the claim. 2 suggested.
- the radial ventilation openings that deviate from the horizontal increase natural convection while simultaneously reducing the radiation emission.
- the temperature sensors attached at different heights can detect a temperature profile that may arise differently due to the radial ventilation holes.
- the concrete protective housing consists of a base part 3 in the form of a pallet, a cylindrical concrete protective jacket 4 placed thereon and a cylindrical cover 5 lying on the concrete protective jacket 4.
- the foot part 3 consists of a square base plate 6, at the corners of which a foot 7 is arranged, so that the foot part 3 is designed as a pallet that can be driven under.
- the cylindrical concrete jacket 4 is placed on the foot part 3 and aligned to the foot part 3 by suitable centering devices (not shown here). '
- the concrete protective jacket 4 has recesses 9 at its lower end, which serve as supply air channels.
- the cover 5 lying on the concrete protective jacket 4 also has recesses 11 in the edge area on its surface facing the jacket 4, which serve as exhaust air ducts.
- a fuel element container 12 shown here in broken lines, is arranged upright.
- the container jacket 4 is radially inclined from the horizontal Fill openings 13 penetrated. At different heights, temperature guides 14 are let into the inside of the container jacket, which are connected via corresponding electrical connecting lines 15 to a connection 16 located on the outside of the container jacket 4.
- the fuel assembly 12 When the fuel assembly 12 is delivered to the intermediate storage facility, the fuel assembly 12 is placed on the base plate 6 of the foot part 3. The concrete protective jacket 4 is then placed over the base part 3 over the fuel element container 12.
- the contents of the entire concrete protective housing 3, 4, 5 are now moved to the storage area by means of a suitable lifting truck, which is preferably located outdoors.
- a suitable lifting truck which is preferably located outdoors.
- the electrical connection between the temperature sensor 14 monitoring the temperature inside the concrete protective housing and the overall monitoring system can be established by a simple plug connection on the outer surface of the container shell 4.
- the temperature sensors 14 and the electrical connecting lines 15 can already be inserted into the mold during the production of the concrete protective jacket 4, so that they are enclosed by the setting molding compound.
