Apparatus for radioactive particulate filtration

摘要: Apparatus is provided for filtering particulate matter from a fluid flow pumped coolant pool nuclear reactor. The apparatus comprises large vessel with an interior chamber in which rotatably supported turntable the form of rigid basket-like support structure on number disposable filter cartridges are removably secured. Part manifold assembly distributing contaminated received central conduit to inlet side chamber. serves as containment processed through filters whereby cleansed may be conducted outwardly outlet port and piped back origin. Gate means normally closed ball valves allow, during shut-down apparatus, extension, into vessel, tools manipulate within accomplish cartridge replacement.
