Dynamic simulation of accidental closure of intermediate heat exchanger isolation valve in a pool type LMFBR

In a pool type liquid metal cooled fast breeder reactor (LMFBR), core and other internals such as pumps, heat exchangers are immersed in a pool of sodium. Heat exchange from primary sodium circuit (pool) to secondary sodium circuit (loop) is through four intermediate heat exchangers (IHX) immersed in primary sodium pool. Each IHX is provided with a sleeve valve at its primary sodium inlet window for the purpose of isolating the shell side of IHX from the sodium pool. With such a provision, an inadvertent partial or complete closure of a sleeve valve of one of the IHX during normal operation of the reactor has been considered as a design basis event for the reactor. One dimensional transient thermal hydraulic models of the primary and secondary sodium circuits have been developed to study the thermal hydraulic consequences of such an event. The main areas of concern in the plant and the availability of safety parameters for the detection of the event have been evaluated.

An investigation of kinetic reaction and decomposition of sodium uranate

For the management of severe accidents of sodium-cooled fast breeder reactor, the coolability of the fuel debris bed on a core support plate is a key concern during the post-accident heat removal phase. In an air ingress scenario, the reactions between the fuel and highly oxidized sodium are likely to form sodium uranoplutonate. This would negatively influence the coolability of the fuel debris bed due to a lowering of the thermal conductivity and density. This study has focused on the formation kinetics of sodium uranate from UO₂ and liquid sodium including oxygen at a high concentration. In this paper, the experiments on reaction initiation temperatures, reaction rates, and the decomposition of sodium uranate are reported.     

A scenario of core disruptive accident for Japan sodium-cooled fast reactor to achieve in-vessel retention

As the most promising concept of sodium-cooled fast reactors, the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has selected the advanced loop-type fast reactor, so-called JSFR. The safety design requirements of JSFR for Design Extension Condition (DEC) are the prevention of severe accidents and the mitigation of severe-accident consequences. For the mitigation of severe-accident consequences, in particular, the In-Vessel Retention (IVR) against postulated Core Disruptive Accidents (CDAs) is required. In order to investigate the sufficiency of these safety requirements, a CDA scenario should be constructed, in which the elimination of power excursion and the in-vessel cooling of degraded core materials are evaluated so as to achieve IVR. In the present study, the factors leading to IVR failure were identified by creating phenomenological diagrams, and the effectiveness of design measures against them were evaluated based on experimental data and computer simulations. This is an unprecedented approach to the construction of a CDA scenario, and is an effective method to objectively investigate the factors leading to IVR failure and the design measures against them. It was concluded that mechanical/thermal failures of the reactor vessel due to power-excursion/thermal-load could be avoided by adequate design measures, and a clear vision for achieving IVR was obtained.     

Development of mathematical model for optimization of sodium leak collection tray

Sodium leaks and resultant fire containment play an important role in the safe operation of a fast breeder reactor. Leak collection tray (LCT) is a passive device which is used to collect the highly reactive liquid sodium in the case of an accidental leakage. The consequences of sodium fire are mitigated by oxygen starvation in the vessel which collects the liquid sodium after leakage. The current paper deals with the optimization of the LCT geometry based on the hydrodynamic characteristics of the leaked liquid sodium. Isothermal numerical simulations have been performed to understand the interfacial dynamics of the hot liquid sodium flow in the top tray part and the variation of sodium draining rate into the holdup vessel for various drainpipe diameters and leak rates. Since the numerical simulations involve very high computational effort, an equivalent semi-analytical sloshing/draining model has also been developed which emulates the flow process in the LCT. The predictions of transient mass distributions in the top part and in the holdup vessel for the semi-analytical model are in close match with the results obtained from the detailed numerical study. The results reveal critical geometric parameters at which the un-burnt sodium collected in the LCT will be maximum.

In vessel neutron instrumentation for sodium-cooled fast reactors: Type,lifetime and location

The in vessel instrumentation of sodium-cooled fast reactors must deliver measurements that are reliable and easy to interpret over several reactor cycles in order to fulfill the safety requirements. This paper compares, with respect to this requirement, three types of detectors that are widely used in neutron measurements: fission chambers, boron-lined proportional counters, self-powered neutron detectors. We use neutron spectra that are computed for preliminary design of sodium-cooled fast reactor in different representative locations: in diluting tubes within nuclear fuel assemblies, or in the lateral neutron protections. With an evolution code, we compute the expected signal for each type of detector, to assess whether its level is sufficient, and also its evolution over three operating cycles, to examine whether it is compatible with long term measurements. The conclusion is that fission chambers are the only type able to deliver an interpretable signal for a wide dynamic of reactor power and for three or more operating cycles. The two other types are shown to be inadequate.     

高性能计算分析技术在大型钠冷快堆屏蔽设计中的应用

Application of High Performance Computing Analysis Technology in Shielding Design of Large Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor

The sodium-cooled fast reactor container is an integrated pool structure composed of numerous internal components and complex structure. The anisotropy is obvious and the deep penetration problem is serious in the process of neutron transport from core to biological shielding. The calculation of three-dimensional S_N method in large scale is the bottleneck restricting in the design of fast reactor shielding. By combining with high performance computing technology, the parallel computing scheme is used to solve the anisotropic three-dimensional deep penetration shielding calculation in the fast reactor. In this paper, the China Demonstration Fast Reactor (CFR600) reactor block was taken as the research object. Using JSNT-CFR code, the neutron flux rate, photon flux rate, and dose rate in the reactor block were calculated in detail. The calculation results were compared with those of the existing two-dimensional code. The results show that combining the traditional shielding calculation method with high performance computing can meet the requirements of CFR600 reactor block shielding calculation accuracy, and obtain a more comprehensive three-dimensional display effect. It can solve the problem of shielding calculation of complex problems such as complex model and particle penetration depth. It has obvious advantages and provides strong support for the large sodium-cooled fast reactor shielding design.     

Transient containment response and inherent retention capability

For safety assessments of early sodium cooled fast breeder reactors, hypothetical events such as loss of flow or transient overpower sequences combined with the failure of the reactor protective systems have been evaluated. The intent of these evaluations was to demonstrate that even extremely unlikely combinations of failures which could lead to meltdown of a portion of the reactor core would not propagate into events harmful to the public.This paper investigates the consequences of a meltdown event. In general, reactor vessels and the primary sodium systems have an adequate inherent retention capability to retain dispersed or molten core debris and remove decay heat. For certain vessel designs, large core debris masses may penetrate through the vessel wall and drain into the reactor cell. Although significant uncertainties exist in the evaluations of debris retention and heat removal capabilities of the containment, there is indication that criteria for radiological limits can well be met. If the accident progression can be controlled in-vessel, consequences would be minimized.
