Fabrication and Erection of Steel Concrete (SC) Modular Construction for Nuclear Power Plant (NPP)

组合钢-混凝土（SC）模块化结构包括两块钢板的面板，混凝土填充物组装成模块。SC模块正在用于新的核电站（NPP），以大大缩短施工时间，并通过场外制造提高质量。然而，仍然存在与SC模块的构造相关联的问题。特别地，将板接合在一起、将面板接合在一起以及将模块接合到基座的现有方法具有许多缺点。该项目将以现实的规模提供建造SC模块的新技术（“钢砖”）的概念验证，同时克服与现有技术相关的问题。该项目将涉及设计和建造一个规模化的柴油发电大楼，并辅之以车间试验、材料测试和质量评估。该项目建立在2011年TSB可行性研究的基础上，该研究探讨了核电厂SC模块的设计和建造。这将为中小企业制造商参与民用核供应链创造重要机会。

Composite steel-concrete (SC) modular construction comprises panels of two steel plates with a concrete infill assembled into modules. SC modules are being used in new nuclear power plant (NPP) to considerably shorten construction time and improve quality using offsite fabrication. However, there are still problems associated with construction of SC modules. In particular, existing methods of joining the plates together, joining panels together and joining modules to foundations have numerous shortcomings. This project will, at a realistic scale, provide proof of concept of a new technique (“Steel Bricks”) to build SC modules whilst overcoming the problems associated with existing techniques. The project will involve the design and construction of a scaled diesel generation building, supported by workshop trials, material tests and quality assessment. There will also be significant engagement with key stakeholders throughout the project.The project builds on a 2011 TSB feasibility which explored design and construction of SC modules in NPP. It will create a significant opportunity for SME fabricators to participate in the civil nuclear supply chain.
