Instrumentation and Modelling of a Reactor Containment Building

| 2018:526 | Tobias Gasch, Lamis Ahmed, Richard Malm
The most important safety barrier in a nuclear power plant is the reactor containment, a post-tensioned concrete structure enclosing the reactor.

The pre-stressing tendons prevent cracking of the concrete in case of a reactor accident, why the tension in the tendons is crucial to the integrity of the reactor containment. The tendon forces decrease over time, so to ensure the integrity of the reactor containment, it is important to monitor the tendon forces.

This report suggests an instrumentation system of the reactor containment for the Finnish nuclear power plant Olkiluoto 2, for measuring the global and local deformations of the structure, moisture and temperature. The system could be used for continuous long-term measurements and during the periodic pressure tests.

    Inspection of Pipes in Leak Indication Systems

    Leak indication systems can detect leakage from fuel pools early. These systems consist of long systems of pipes with very small diameters, which can lead to blockages which is very important to prevent. but finding methods for this is difficult due to the geometrical complexity. Therefore, this study examined possible methods for detecting and removing mineral blockages in narrow, embedded leak indication pipes with sharp bends.

    Syntesrapport 2007-2024: Betongtekniskt program kärnkraft

    Energiforsk driver sedan 2007 ett forskningsprogram kring betongkonstruktioner inom kärnkraftverken. Det finns ett behov av att bygga både kompetens och att utveckla teknikbasen för teknisk förvaltning av byggnader och konstruktioner inom kärnkraftindustrin.

    Testing of acoustic cameras to detect leakage through a concrete structure

    The purpose of the project was to see how well the acoustic cameras worked on a concrete containment with known leakage through the structure.
