SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

However, when the support is welded to the support, thermal distortion (deformation) occurs at the bonded portion due to the welding. As a result, there is a problem in that the nuclear reactor vessel may not be installed in the structure with high precision.

In consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide a nuclear reactor vessel support structure capable of preventing a support and a structure (a tube-shaped structure) from being deformed at a bonded portion thereof.

Means for Solving the Problems

In order to achieve the foregoing object, according to an aspect of the present invention, a nuclear reactor vessel support structure includes: an inner peripheral tube-shaped steel plate, an outer peripheral tube-shaped steel plate, and an intermediate tube-shaped steel plate disposed between the inner peripheral and outer peripheral tube-shaped steel plates. Further, the nuclear reactor vessel support structure is a structure which supports a nuclear reactor vessel on the inner peripheral side of a tube-shaped structure formed by pouring concrete between the inner peripheral steel plate and the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate and between the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate and the outer peripheral tube-shaped steel plate. The nuclear reactor vessel support structure includes a support which has a tube-shaped plate disposed on the inner peripheral side of the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate, and an annular plate which protrudes to the inner peripheral side of the tube-shaped plate and to which a connection part connected to the nuclear reactor vessel is affixed. Further, the support may be affixed to the concrete placed between the inner peripheral tube-shaped steel plate and the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate by a first bar member extending in a vertical direction and affixed to the inner peripheral tube-shaped steel plate or the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate by a second bar member extending in a radial direction of the tube-shaped structure.

According to another aspect of the present invention, a construction method of the above nuclear reactor vessel support structure includes: a tube-shaped steel plate installing process of installing an inner peripheral tube-shaped steel plate, an outer peripheral tube-shaped steel plate, and an intermediate tube-shaped steel plate; a first concrete pouring process of pouring concrete in a position between the inner peripheral tube-shaped steel plate and the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate and between the outer peripheral tube-shaped steel plate and the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate, to a lower height than a position at which a support, a first bar member and a second bar member are installed; a support installing process of installing the support along with the first bar member and affixing the support to the inner peripheral tube-shaped steel or the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate by the second bar member; and a second concrete pouring process of pouring concrete in a position at which the support, the first bar member, and the second bar member are installed.

According to the aspects of the present invention, the support may be affixed to the concrete placed between the inner peripheral tube-shaped steel plate and the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate by the first bar member extending in a vertical direction and affixed to the inner peripheral tube-shaped steel plate or the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate by the second bar member extending in a radial direction of the tube-shaped structure. Thereby, the support can resist an out-of-plane bending load, that is, a vertical load applied thereto with the first bar member against a load during an earthquake. Further, the support can resist a shearing load, that is, a horizontal load applied thereto with the second bar member. Therefore, the support and the tube-shaped structure can be securely affixed to each other.

The support and the tube-shaped structure can be affixed to each other without welding, and thereby the thermal distortion (deformation) does not occur. As a result, it is possible to prevent the support and the tube-shaped structure from being deformed at the bonded portion thereof.

Further, in the nuclear reactor vessel structure according to the aspects of the present invention, the first bar member may be a foundation bolt of which a lower end side is buried in the concrete placed between the inner peripheral tube-shaped steel plate and the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate and an upper end side is inserted into a through hole formed in the annular plate to affix the annular plate.

According to the foregoing configuration, the annular plate can be affixed to the concrete placed between the inner peripheral tube-shaped steel plate and the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate by the foundation bolt.

Further, in the nuclear reactor vessel support structure according to the aspects of the present invention, the first bar member may be a first stud which is bonded to a lower surface of the annular plate and buried in the concrete placed between the inner peripheral tube-shaped steel plate and the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate.

Further, the plurality of first studs may be evenly installed on the lower surface of the annular plate. Therefore, the load applied to the annular plate can be dispersed throughout the concrete placed between the inner peripheral tube-shaped steel plate and the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate through the first stud.

Further, in the nuclear reactor vessel support structure according to the aspects of the present invention, the second bar member has a radial outer end side inserted into the through hole formed in the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate and buried in the concrete placed between the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate and the outer peripheral tube-shaped steel plate. In addition, the second bar member is an anchor bolt which has a radial inner end side inserted into the through hole formed in the tube-shaped plate and affixes the tube-shaped plate. A filler may be filled between the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate and the tube-shaped plate.

According to the foregoing configuration, the tube-shaped plate can be affixed to the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate by the anchor bolt. The filler, for example, a grout material, a shim, and the like, may be filled between the tube-shaped plate and the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate to easily adjust the radial position of the support.

Further, in the nuclear reactor vessel support structure according to the aspects of the present invention, the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate is divided vertically into two portions disposed above and below the tube-shaped plate. In addition, a splice plate is disposed over the tube-shaped plate and the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate. The second bar member may be a bolt which connects the tube-shaped plate with the splice plate and a bolt which joins the divided body to the splice plate.

According to the foregoing configuration, the tube-shaped plate can be affixed to the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate through the splice plate by the bolts.

Further, in the nuclear reactor vessel support structure according to the aspects of the present invention, a shim may be disposed between the splice plate and the tube-shaped plate or the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate to adjust an interval between the splice plate and the tube-shaped plate or the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate.

According to the foregoing configuration, even when the thickness of the tube-shaped plate is different from that of the intermediate tube-shaped steel, the tube-shaped plate can be securely affixed to the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate and the thickness of the shim can be adjusted to easily adjust the radial position of the support.

In the nuclear reactor vessel support structure according to the aspects of the present invention, a second stud buried in the concrete placed between the inner tube-shaped steel plate and the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate may be bonded to the outer peripheral surface of the tube-shaped plate.

According to the foregoing configuration, the tube-shaped plate can be affixed to the concrete between the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate and the outer tube-shaped steel plate by the second stud and can resist the shearing load along with the bolt. In addition, the plurality of second studs is evenly bonded to the outer peripheral surface of the tube-shaped plate. Therefore, the shearing load applied to the tube-shaped plate can be dispersed throughout the concrete between the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate and the outer tube-shaped steel plate.

Further, in the nuclear reactor vessel support structure according to the aspects of the present invention, the support includes a tube-shaped body that protrudes downward from the inner peripheral side of the annular plate and is disposed on the upper portion of the inner peripheral tube-shaped steel plate, and the splice plate is disposed over the tube-shaped body and the inner peripheral tube-shaped steel plate. The second bar member is a bolt which connects a second tube-shaped plate with the splice plate and a bolt which joins the inner peripheral tube-shaped steel plate and the splice plate. The filler may be filled between the tube-shaped plate and the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate.

According to the foregoing configuration, the support can be affixed to the inner peripheral tube-shaped steel plate through the tube-shaped body and the splice plate by the bolts.

Further, in the nuclear reactor vessel support structure according to the aspects of the present invention, the second bar member may be the aforementioned bolt, and an anchor bolt which has the radial outer end side inserted into the through hole formed in the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate and buried in the concrete placed between the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate and the outer peripheral tube-shaped steel plate and the radial inner end side inserted into the through hole formed in the tube-shaped plate to affix the tube-shaped plate.

According to the foregoing configuration, the support can be affixed to the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate by the anchor bolt and can resist the shearing load applied thereto along with the bolt.

Further, in the nuclear reactor vessel support structure according to the aspects of the present invention, a rib protruding downward may be formed on the lower surface of the annular plate.

According to the foregoing configuration, the support can resist the shearing load applied thereto with the rib.

Effects of the Invention

Therefore, the support can resist the out-of-plane bending load applied thereto with the first bar member, and the support can resist the shearing load applied thereto with the second bar member. Further, the support can be bonded to the tube-shaped structure without welding. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the thermal distortion (deformation) due to the welding and to prevent the support and the tube-shaped structure from being deformed at the bonded portion thereof.

After the concrete is cured, the filler 18 is filled between the tube-shaped plate 12 and the intermediate tube-shaped steel plate 5 to adjust the radial position of the support 14.

The support 14 is affixed to the tube-shaped structure 2 by the foregoing method.

Next, an effect of the foregoing nuclear reactor vessel support structure 1 will be described with reference to the drawings.

In accordance with the nuclear reactor vessel support structure 1 according to the first embodiment, the support 14 is affixed to the inner peripheral side concrete C1 by the foundation bolts 15 and is affixed to the inner peripheral side tube-shaped steel plate 4 by the anchor bolts 16. Therefore, the support 14 can resist the out-of-plane bending load applied thereto with the foundation bolts 15 and the support 14 can resist the shearing load applied thereto with the anchor bolts 16. Further, the support 14 and the tube-shaped structure 2 can be integrated without welding. Therefore, it is possible to prevent thermal distortion (deformation) due to welding and to prevent the support 14 and the tube-shaped structure 2 from being deformed at the bonded portion thereof.
