Research on Technical Transformation of Lifting Equipment in Nuclear Power Plants

Abstract

There are a lot of problems in the use of lifting equipment, such as wrong design, harsh environment, higher standards, obsolete spare parts, inadequate performance, and so on. If these problems are not properly handled, they will inevitably affect safety and reliability of lift equipment. The standards and requirements of lifting equipment in nuclear power plants are different from other plants due to the special nature of nuclear power plants. Some problems are never encountered in general plants, such as high radiation workshop and humid and highly salty environment. It is necessary to generalize various types of problems that appear during operation of lifting equipment in nuclear power plants. To solve these problems, specific technical transformation will be implemented in order to meet high standards and requirements in nuclear power plants.
