Abstract

A method for hoisting and transporting assemblies in an underground nuclear power plant, the method including: 1) pouring concrete onto a reactor cavern to form a rock anchor beam; hoisting a circular bridge crane to the reactor cavern through a hoist shaft on a top of the reactor cavern; mounting the circular bridge crane on the rock anchor beam by using a truck crane; 2) installing a containment cylinder and a track beam of a polar crane in the reactor cavern using the circular bridge crane; hoisting a gantry crane on one end of a polar crane girder and sending the polar crane girder to the reactor cavern; hoisting the other end of the polar crane girder using the circular bridge crane; allowing the polar crane girder to be horizontal; and mounting the polar crane girder on the track beam.

Claims (17)

1. A method for hoisting and transporting assemblies in an underground nuclear power plant, the method comprising:

1) pouring concrete onto a reactor cavern to form a rock anchor beam disposed on an upper part of the reactor cavern; excavating a hoist shaft on a top portion of a reactor cavern in a direction perpendicular to the ground; hoisting a circular bridge crane to the reactor cavern through the hoist shaft; and mounting the circular bridge crane on the rock anchor beam;

2) installing a containment cylinder in the reactor cavern and installing a track beam of a polar crane on an upper part of the containment cylinder using the circular bridge crane; hoisting one end of a polar crane girder and sending the polar crane girder through the hoist shaft to the reactor cavern; hoisting the other end of the polar crane girder to be horizontal by the circular bridge crane; and mounting the polar crane girder on the track beam;

3) hoisting processed pieces of a steel lining to the reactor cavern through the hoist shaft; by using the track beam and the polar crane girder as supporting points, soldering and assembling the pieces of the steel lining on a top portion of the containment cylinder to form a containment dome;

4) transporting permanent equipment for a nuclear reactor into the containment cylinder through a transport corridor which is connected to the reactor cavern; and turning over the permanent equipment and hoisting the permanent equipment to working areas using the polar crane girder.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein when performing 1), excavating combined caverns; mounting bridge cranes on upper parts of the combined caverns, respectively; transporting nuclear power auxiliary devices through a primary traffic tunnel to installation platforms which are respectively disposed at one side or one end of the combined caverns; and hoisting the nuclear power auxiliary devices to working positions by the bridge cranes.
