An automatic celestial navigation system for navigating both night and day by observation of K-band or H-band infrared light from multiple stars. In a first set of preferred embodiments three relatively large aperture telescopes are rigidly mounted on a movable platform such as a ship or airplane with each telescope being directed at a substantially different portion of sky. Embodiments in this first set tend to be relatively large and heavy, such as about one cubic meter and about 60 pounds. In a second set of preferred embodiments one or more smaller aperture telescopes are pivotably mounted on a movable platform such as a ship, airplane or missile so that the telescope or telescopes can be pivoted to point toward specific regions of the sky. Embodiments of this second set are mechanically more complicated than those of the first set, but are much smaller and lighter and are especially useful for guidance of aircraft and missiles. Telescope optics focus (on to a pixel array of a sensor) H-band or K-band light from one or more stars in the field of view of each telescope. Each system also includes an inclinometer, an accurate timing device and a computer processor having access to catalogued infrared star charts. The processor for each system is programmed with special algorithms to use image data from the infrared sensors, inclination information from the inclinometer, time information from the timing device and the catalogued star charts information to determine positions of the platform. Direction information from two stars is needed for locating the platform with respect to the celestial sphere. The computer is also preferably programmed to use this celestial position information to calculate latitude and longitude which may be displayed on a display device such as a monitor or used by a guidance control system. These embodiments are jam proof and insensitive to radio frequency interference. These systems provide efficient alternatives to GPS when GPS is unavailable and can be used for periodic augmentation of inertial navigation systems.

The invention relates to an installing method for a main pipeline of a coolant system of a nuclear power station, which is characterized in that the main pipeline of the coolant system of a reactor of the pressurized water reactor nuclear power station comprises a cool section (41) and a hot section (42), and a steam generator is directly connected with a main pump. According to the invention, the problem that the main pipeline is installed and welded by only a pressure container or steam generator in place by adopting the installing method of the main pipeline without a transition section issolved, and technical limit that the main pipeline is installed after the pressure container is in place and the steam generator or main pump is in place in the traditional main pipeline constructiontechnology is eliminated. A main pipeline groove is processed by adopting a site numerical control machining technology, the main pipeline and equipment connected with the main pipeline are subjectedto measurement, modeling and process monitoring by adopting a laser tracking measuring and 3D modeling technology, the main pipeline is regulated to meet the assembly welding requirement and is installed by using a narrow TIG (argon tungsten-arc welding) automatic welding technology, thus a feasible method is provided for shortening the construction period of the nuclear power station.

Core debris generated during a molten reactor core in a reactor containment vessel penetrating the reactor containment vessel is configured to be caught by a core catcher located beneath the reactor containment vessel which has a main body having first stage cooling water channels and second stage surrounded by cooling fins extending radially. The number of the second stage cooling channels is larger than that of the first stage cooling channels. Cooling water is supplied from a cooling water injection opening and distributed to the first cooling water channels at a distributor. An intermediate header is formed between the first and the second cooling water channels, and the cooling water is distributed to the second cooling water channels uniformly.
