当該施設の負圧制御弁は、他施設等でも使用実績もあり信頼性の高い機器であるが、施設の運転開始以来25年以上稼働を続け、経年劣化による安定な負圧維持機能への影響が見受けられるようになってきた。そこで、負圧制御機能を確実にし、施設の安定運転を図るため、負圧制御弁駆動部の更新を実施してきている。本発表では、更新作業を通じて得られた知見(作業上の課題への対応,構成部品の劣化状況,故障要因の推定)について報告する。

The negative pressure control valve is reliable apparatus which has been used in many nuclear facilities. In recent years, there are some troubles on those valves in CPF (Chemical Reprocessing Facility) by the aged deterioration because the valves were kept using for more than 25 years after facility had operated. Therefore, we have been carrying out renewal of driving units of the valves to assure performance of negative pressure control function and to keep stability of operation of the facility. In this presentation, we report knowledge provided through the renewal work, such as the renewal procedure, the deterioration situation of components and the cause of troubles.
