20110110485 | FUEL ASSEMBLY - A fuel assembly is charged in a reactor core of a nuclear reactor using a liquid metal as a coolant and includes a wrapper tube storing a plurality of fuel pins and including an entrance nozzle at a lower end thereof for introducing the coolant and an operation handling head at an upper end thereof, grids for supporting the plurality of fuel pins in the wrapper tube in the radial direction of the wrapper tube, liner tubes inserted in the wrapper tube for fixedly holding the grids in the axial direction of the wrapper tube, and peripheral flow suppressing members disposed in a peripheral flow passage extending between peripherally disposed ones of the fuel pins and the wrapper tube over a length corresponding to a heat generation length, which is a length range in the axial direction of the fuel pins storing a radioactive fuel material. | 05-12-2011 |
20100108600 | METHOD FOR TREATMENT OF WATER-CONTAINING MATERIAL - A method and apparatus for treatment of a water-containing material. The method includes: (A) bringing a liquid of a substance in a gaseous state under normal temperature and pressure conditions into contact with a water-containing material; (B) obtaining a liquid layer through solid-liquid separation from a treated product resulting from (A); (C) vaporizing and extracting at least a portion of the substance that is in the gaseous state under normal temperature and pressure conditions as gas from the liquid layer obtained from (B); and (D) collecting a lower layer resulting from liquid-liquid separation conducting on a liquid layer resulting from (C). The method and apparatus achieve efficient treatment of a water-containing material and allow the material after the treatment to be recycled as a resource. | 05-06-2010 |
20100101928 | HYDROUS MATTER TREATMENT SYSTEM - The present invention is to provide means by which energy required for treating sewage sludge can be saved. The present invention provides a treatment system for a watery material that includes a dewatering tank in which liquefied matter of a material that is gaseous at a normal temperature and a normal pressure is contacted with the watery material and the watery material is separated into the resultant watery material and a liquid phase that contains an aqueous component from the watery material, an evaporator that vaporizes the material that is gaseous at a normal temperature and a normal pressure from the liquid phase, a separator that separates a gas of the material thus vaporized from effluent water, a condenser that condenses the gas into liquefied matter, a condenser that condenses the gas into liquefied matter, two or more external heat sources selected from the group consisting of atmosphere, sewage, warm effluent water, and ground water, an external heat temperature detector that detects temperatures of external heats of the external heat sources, and an external heat supply destination controlling unit that identifies external heat sources A and B on the basis of the temperatures of the external heats detected by the external heat temperature detector and controls the external heat from the external heat source A to be supplied to the evaporator and the external heat from the external heat source B to be supplied to the condenser. | 04-29-2010 |
20080202127 | Cooling System for Superconducting Power Apparatus - A cooling system for a superconducting power apparatus including a reservoir tank for reserving a liquefied gas, a circulating pump, a heat exchanger for cooling the liquefied gas, and a circulation loop through which the liquefied gas is circulated, the superconducting power apparatus being cooled by circulating the liquefied gas in a subcooled state using the circulating pump. The cooling system further includes a pressurizing mechanism for pressurizing the liquefied gas in the reservoir tank with the same type of gas as the liquefied gas, wherein a liquid level in the reservoir tank for reserving the liquefied gas in a pressurized state is located above an outlet of a return piping of a circulating liquefied gas at least by a dissolving depth of the pressurizing gas+(plus) a liquid level movement correction amount. | 08-28-2008 |
