本発明は原子力発電所における高温高圧蒸気等の漏洩検

正確に検出するものである。Conventionally, as shown in Fig. 1, leaks of high-temperature, high-pressure steam inside the reactor containment building 1 are detected by a temperature detector 4 and a pressure detector 2, and changes in flow rate due to pipe rupture are detected by a differential pressure regulator 3.
Accordingly, leakage of radioactive gas is detected by a radioactivity detector 5, and leakage of radioactive liquid is detected by collecting it in a drain collection tank 8 or the floor 9 of a partitioned part of the building and detecting it by water level gauges 6 and 7, respectively. If there is a leak, the alarm device 10 issues an alarm.
(Similar detection is also carried out inside the turbine generator building 11, but the explanation is omitted here.) However, nuclear power plants are extremely large, and the configuration of equipment such as equipment is different. It's complicated. Among these, there are many piping systems installed in the reactor containment building, and they are arranged horizontally and vertically.
It has an extremely complex structure. Therefore, it is difficult to install the above-mentioned detector, and it is also difficult to identify the hot water area where the leak occurs, and as a result, leak detection has to be rough.
Conventional methods have not been able to accurately detect minute leaks and their locations. Furthermore, once a radioactive liquid leakage accident occurs, it is not desirable for workers to enter the reactor containment building for reasons of preventing exposure to radiation. Therefore, it has been extremely difficult to detect in which part of such a complicated piping system a leak has occurred. The present invention was made in view of the above points, and aims to provide a leakage detection device that can quickly detect even the smallest leakage. In addition, moisture detectors installed at multiple locations within the power plant accurately detect the locations of leaking steam and radioactive liquid.

接続される。As shown in FIG. 2, infrared television cameras 21-1 and 2 are installed inside the reactor containment building 1 and the turbine generator building 11.
1-2 and moisture detection switches 22-1 to 22-9 are installed. The installation location is not limited to the location shown in the diagram.
Also, the number of installed units can be increased. However, as shown in FIG. 2, the infrared television camera 21-1
, 21-2 and the moisture detection switches 22-1 to 22-9 have a certain relative positional relationship as will be described later. The infrared television cameras 21-1 and 21-2 are constantly periodically driven vertically and horizontally to monitor a wide range of the high-temperature, high-pressure steam pipe 25, and the images captured by these cameras are detected by infrared detection. is sent to device 24. As shown in FIG. 3, the infrared detection device 24 includes a control unit 26, a video storage device 27, a video comparator 28, an abnormality warning device 29, a video monitor 30, an oscilloscope 31, a recorder 32, and a high temperature warning device 33. ing. The infrared television cameras 21-1 and 21-2 capture the normal state of the high-temperature, high-pressure steam pipe 25 in advance and emit a video signal, and the control unit 26 stores this video signal in the video storage device 27. During operation of the nuclear power plant, the infrared television cameras 21-1 and 21-2 are periodically driven vertically and horizontally as originally set. During this time, when high-temperature, high-pressure steam leaks from the pipe 25, the temperature of the surrounding area rises and becomes exothermic, and infrared rays are emitted from there. The infrared television camera 21-1 (or 21-2) receives this infrared rays and emits a video signal, and the control unit 26 sends this to the video comparator 28. The video comparator 25 compares this video signal with the normal video signal originally stored in the video storage device 27, and an abnormality detector signal is generated, and in response to this, the abnormality alarm device 29 issues an alarm. In response to the abnormality detection signal, the camera drive unit 21 stops the infrared television camera 21-1 (or 21-2) at that position,
Furthermore, abnormal locations are continuously monitored. In turn, a video signal is sent from the control unit 26 to the video monitor 30 and oscilloscope 31, and the video monitor 30 clearly shows the abnormal location, and the oscilloscope 31 displays the temperature status of the abnormal location, and the recorder 32 A temperature detection signal indicating this temperature condition is then generated. The recorder 32 records this temperature and outputs a high temperature detector signal to the high temperature alarm device 33 when the temperature is higher than the set value, and in response, the high temperature alarm device 33 issues an alarm. Moisture detector 22
-1 to 22-9 are installed on the floors and walls of the reactor containment building 1 and the turbine generator building 11 as shown in Figure 2 (the number of moisture detectors is not limited to these). (increase or decrease as needed) are connected to the moisture detection leakage display device 23.

As shown in FIG. 4, the moisture detection leakage display device 23 consists of leakage position indicators 34-1 to 34-9 and a moisture alarm 35. They are connected to leak position indicators 34-1 to 34-9, respectively. For example, if there is a leak of radioactive waste liquid and the moisture detector 22-1 detects this, the moisture detector 2-1 will change color and emit a moisture detection signal, and the leak position display device In response to this, the moisture alarm 34-1 displays the leak position and issues a moisture alarm signal, and the moisture alarm 35 receives this and issues an alarm. Note that the moisture detectors 22-1 to 22-9 and the moisture detection/leakage display device 23 perform similar operations regarding leakage of cooling water, moisture in high-temperature, high-humidity steam, and the like. In this way, the infrared television cameras 21-1 and 21-2 are driven vertically and horizontally to monitor leakage from piping and other equipment in a predetermined range, while each moisture detection switch 22-1 to 22-9 detects the leak state in detail and displays the leak location on the display device 23.

The monitoring range of the infrared television cameras 21-1, 22-9 is known in advance, and the corresponding installation positions of the moisture detection switches 22-1 to 22-9 are also known. 21-2, leakage information that has occurred in the space of the reactor containment building 1, and each moisture detection switch 22-1,
22-9, and as a result, the leak position can be accurately known from the two types of leak information obtained. In addition, when monitoring only with a TV camera, two-dimensional position confirmation (
That is, although it is relatively accurate in terms of vertical or horizontal directions, it is not possible to accurately detect a position in a three-dimensional direction (that is, in the depth direction). This becomes even more of a problem with television cameras that use infrared rays because visual confirmation is not possible. However, according to the present invention, the moisture detection switch 22 arranged at multiple points solves the problem of accuracy in the depth direction.
-1, 22-9 can be compensated for, resulting in a synergistic effect. In this example, leakage inside the reactor containment building and turbine generator building was specified.
The present invention can also detect leaks within a nuclear power plant or a location with similar functionality.
