加速器驱动洁净能系统中的燃耗行为分析

研究了加速器驱动洁净核能系统（ADS）次临界反应堆内核素的演化。分析结果表明：ADS具有嬗变长寿命核废物的能力。从快堆和热堆的比较可知,ADS的快堆具有输出功率大、长寿命超铀放射性废物的累积水平低、裂变产物对反应堆反应性和能量增益影响小等优点。这些优点在利用U－Pu燃料循环的次临界堆中十分明显。对于利用Th-U燃料循环的次临界堆,热堆和快堆都是可以工作的;而对于U－Pu燃料循环的系统,快堆则是较好的选择。     

Problem of the iodine method of purification of zirconium

A method is proposed for the determination of the equilibrium constantsk and k' for the reactions Zr+2I₂–ZrI₄=0 and 2I–I₂=0, which is based on the measurement of the amount of iodine or zirconium liberated in the decomposition of zirconium tetraiodide on a heated surface in the process of establishing equilibrium. The decomposition of the tetraiodide was carried out at 900–1600C on a tungsten filament. The temperature distribution between filament and vessel walls was neglected.The dependence of the sum of atomic and molecular iodine pressures on zirconium tetraiodide pressure was determined at 1430C, and on temperature for 50 mm Hg. The values of kk'² 35 (mm Hg)³ at 1430C and k0.07 mm Hg at 400C, found from the results, differ substantially from known thermodynamic data, but give good agreement between the authors' formula [1] and experimental results on the iodide process of zirconium purification.
