SUMMARYThe particularity of nuclear power plant environment requires that the nuclear power inspection robot must be remote control operation. The main purpose of the inspection robot is to carry out inspection, prevention, reporting, and safety emergency operation on the instruments, so as to provide guarantee for the safe operation of the nuclear power plant. Based on the representative configuration of nuclear power robot at home and abroad, this paper develops a small and lightweight nuclear power plant inspection robot, including walking mechanism, lifting mechanism, operating mechanism, image acquisition, information communication and control system, etc., to carry on the statics analysis to the key components of the inspection robot and verify that the stiffness and strength of the mechanical structure meet the requirements of lightweight design. Modal analysis is carried out to verify that the motor does not cause resonance when working. The kinematic model of the robot has been established and can provide the theoretical basis for the controller design. A hierarchical control system based on LabVIEW upper computer monitoring and control operation interface is established, which uses adaptive fuzzy Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control to simulate the walking control, and then realizes the control of walking mechanism through software programming, and the adaptive fuzzy PID control has better effect than the conventional PID control. The S-type acceleration and deceleration algorithm is used to realize the accurate control of the position location of the lifting mechanism. Finally, combined with the experiment of 5MS robot comprehensive experimental platform, it is proved that the inspection robot can realize remote control function operation.

This paper presents an experimental study dealing with the toughness of heavy concrete based on the ASTM C1018. Mixtures including 0%, 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5% of steel fiber content by volume are designated, which are developed based on a mixture used in Kuosheng nuclear power plant in Taiwan. Metallic aggregates of iron shots and iron ore take 48.8% by volume in that mixture. Test results reveal that the compressive strength and rupture modulus of heavy concrete turn out higher than those of normal concrete. In addition, flexural toughness of heavy concrete grow with the steel fiber fraction, which is valid and appropriate for construction of shielding structure and spent fuel cask.

The modernization of the Dukovany nuclear power plant (four VVER 440 MWe reactor units owned by CˇEZ, the Czech national utility) is presented with a special focus on the digital safety instrumentation and control (I&C) system. The first Unit has been successfully modernized in compliance with the initial schedule. The following matters are further discussed in this paper: • Goal, scope and industrial organization of this modernization, • Main design criteria and I&C architecture, • Digital technologies in use, • Design and Licensing processes, • On-site installation strategy and main milestones, • Progress of work.
