Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a nuclear reactor automatic depressurization system that depressurizes a reactor pressure vessel even when a total loss of power in a nuclear power plant occurs, and reduces time and cost for the recovery operation.SOLUTION: An automatic depressurization system comprises: an exhaust pipe 4 that communicates with the inside of a reactor pressure vessel 2 through a main steam pipe 3; and an automatic depressurization valve 5 installed on the exhaust pipe 4. The automatic depressurization valve 5 includes a disk 9 located to close a seat 8, a stem 10 that has one end connected to the disk 9, and a fusible-material housing chamber 12 that houses a fusible material 11 for regulating the other end of the stem 10. Liquefaction of the fusible material 11 with a rise in temperature in the exhaust pipe 4 allows the stem 10 and the disk 9 to move, and pressure from the upstream side of the automatic depressurization valve 5 moves the disk 9 to open the seat 8. 【課題】原子力発電所の所内電源の全喪失が発生した場合でも、原子炉圧力容器内を減圧でき、かつ、復旧作業の手間やコストを削減できる原子炉の自動減圧装置を提供する。【解決手段】自動減圧装置1は、原子炉圧力容器2の内部と主蒸気管3を介して連通する排気管4と、排気管4に設けられた自動減圧弁5とを備える。自動減圧弁5は、シート8を閉じるように配置されたディスク9と、ディスク9に一端側が接続されたステム10と、ステム10の他端側を規制する可融物11を収納した可融物収納室12とを有し、排気管4の温度上昇に伴って可融物11が液化すれば、ステム10及びディスク9が移動可能となり、自動減圧弁5の上流側の圧力によってディスク9が移動してシート8を開くように構成される。【選択図】図2
