一种非能动余热排出系统设计方案

非能动余热排出系统依靠本身的自然循环特性,应能够在较长时间内提供对堆芯的冷却,保证反应堆的安全。提出一种非能动空气冷却余热排出系统(PRHRS)方案,利用应急冷却水箱作为中间缓冲设备,既可以满足事故初期快速冷却的要求,又能保证非能动余热排出系统在相当长一段时间内的可靠运行。基于自然循环系统特性对所设计的PRHRS系统进行设计计算,并使用RELAP5程序对全厂断电事故下反应堆停堆后PRHRS投入运行的过程进行仿真,以验证设计的合理性。反应堆热工水力动态特性的结果表明,该系统可通过自然循环排出堆芯余热,保证堆芯安全。

摇摆条件下海上浮动堆全厂断电事故分析

为研究海洋条件对海上浮动堆全厂断电事故后的事故进程及非能动安全系统运行特性的影响,通过建立海洋条件加速度场模型,基于RELAP5程序开发获得了适用于海上浮动堆的系统分析程序,并对程序进行了实验验证。利用所开发的程序通过建立双环路海上浮动堆及二次侧非能动余热排出系统的计算模型,开展了不同摇摆运动参数下海上浮动堆全厂断电事故的计算分析。计算结果表明,船体的横摇运动可加快全厂断电事故后浮动堆系统压力和温度的下降速度,堆芯余热能够被二次侧非能动余热排出系统有效导出;但横摇运动会造成事故后堆芯自然循环流量的显著降低,引起一回路系统和非能动余热排出系统中自然循环流量的大幅度振荡及周期性倒流。本文计算结果可为海上浮动堆非能动安全系统的设计提供参考。     

非能动余热排出系统敏感性分析

以中国改进型压水堆核电站CPR1000为研究对象,在其蒸汽发生器二次侧设计了一套非能动余热排出系统（PRHRS）,该系统采用在蒸汽发生器二次侧建立自然循环的方式间接带走堆芯余热,确保事故条件下堆芯安全。用RELAP5/MOD3.2程序对系统进行了合理的简化并建模,在全场断电（SBO）事故条件下模拟了PRHRS的瞬态响应过程,并对高位水箱的容积、PRHRS换热器的换热面积、冷热中心高度差以及PRHRS的投入时间等影响PRHRS工作特性的相关参数进行了敏感性分析。计算结果表明：增加高位水箱的容积和增大换热面积均有助于二次侧余热排出系统带走一回路的堆芯余热;降低冷热中心高度差对PRHRS的自然循环能力影响不大;余热排出系统投入时间越早,蒸汽发生器二次侧水位越高,越有利于一次侧余热的排出。

全厂断电事故下非能动核电厂系统响应及敏感性研究

福岛核事故发生以后,全厂断电事故成为了关注的热点。为了研究核电厂在全厂断电事故后的系统响应,文章采用系统分析程序针对非能动核电厂的系统、设备建立系统级模型,并开展计算分析。获得了主回路系统、安全系统关键参数的瞬态响应,得出如下结论：全厂断电事故后,非能动核电厂依靠蒸汽发生器（SteamGenerator,SG）和非能动余热排出系统（PassiveResidualHeat Removal system,PRHR）能够及时带出堆芯衰变热;PRHR启动的早晚影响SG二次侧冷却剂进行堆芯余热的带出,但对反应堆冷却能力的影响并不大;堆芯补水箱（CoreMakeupTanks,CMT）向主回路注入冷却剂的质量和速率对主回路温度、压力、稳压器液位的影响很大,可考虑调节CMT注入管线的阻力,使CMT注入流量在合理的水平,防止稳压器发生满溢。     

全厂断电事故工况下小型铅铋快堆余热排出能力评价

小型铅铋快堆的非能动余热排出系统（PRHRS）主要是为应对全厂断电（SBO）事故,但目前并不确定该PRHRS能否有效带走堆芯衰变热以保证堆芯安全,因此开展了数值分析研究评价PRHRS的余热排出能力。本文使用RELAP5 4.0程序开展了小型铅铋快堆SBO事故热工水力分析,首先进行稳态计算,之后将稳态结果作为初值进行瞬态计算。研究结果表明：在整个SBO事故中,包壳峰值温度最高为820 K,主容器与保护容器壁面最高温度分别为792 K和769 K,均未超过安全限值,表明此PRHRS可有效应对小型铅铋快堆SBO事故。本文研究可为小型铅铋快堆PRHRS的工程设计奠定技术基础。

The influence of ocean conditions on thermal-hydraulic characteristics of a passive residual heat removal system

There are many differences between the flow and heat transfer characteristics of nuclear reactors under ocean and land-based conditions for the effects of ocean waves. In this paper, thermal hydraulic characteristics of a passive residual heat removal system (PRHRS) for an integrated pressurized water reactor (IPWR) in ocean environment were investigated theoretically. A series of reasonable theoretical models for a PRHRS in an IPWR were established. These models mainly include the core, once-through steam generator, nitrogen pressurizer, main coolant pump, flow and heat transfer and ocean motion models. The flow and heat transfer models are suitable for the core with plate-type fuel element and the once-through steam generator with annular channel, respectively. A transient analysis code in FORTRAN 90 format has been developed to analyze the thermal–hydraulic characteristics of the PRHRS under ocean conditions. The code was implemented to analyze the effects of different ocean motions on the transient thermal-hydraulic characteristics of PRHRS. It is found that the oscillating amplitudes and periods of the system parameters are determined by those of the ocean motions. The effect of rolling motion is more obvious than that of pitching motion when the amplitudes and periods of rolling and pitching motions are the same. The obtained analysis results are significant to the improvement design of the PRHRS and the safety operation of the IPWR.     

Development of the analysis tool for the water cooling type passive residual heat removal system of Chinese pressurized reactor

An innovative design for Chinese pressurized reactor is the steam generator (SG) secondary side water cooling passive residual heat removal system (PRHRS). The new design is expected to improve reliability and safety of the Chinese pressurized reactor during the event of feed line break or station blackout (SBO) accident. The new system is comprised of a SG, a cooling water pool, a heat exchanger (HX), an emergency makeup tank (EMT) and corresponding valves and pipes. In order to evaluate the reliability of the water cooling PRHRS, an analysis tool was developed based on the drift flux mixture flow model. The preliminary validation of the analysis tool was made by comparing to the experimental data of ESPRIT facility. Calculation results under both high pressure condition and low pressure condition fitted the experimental data remarkably well. A hypothetical SBO accident was studied by taking the residual power table under SBO accident as the input condition of the analysis tool. The calculation results showed that the EMT could supply the water to the SG shell side successfully during SBO accident. The residual power could be taken away successfully by the two-phase natural circulation established in the water cooling PRHRS loop. Results indicate the analysis tool can be used to study the steady and transient operating characteristics of the water cooling PRHRS during some accidents of the Chinese pressurized reactor. The present work has very important realistic significance to the engineering design and assessment of the water cooling PRHRS for Chinese NPPs.     

Two phase natural circulation and the heat transfer in the passive residual heat removal system of an integral type reactor

An investigation of the thermal hydraulic characteristics and the natural circulation performance in the passive residual heat removal system (PRHRS) for an integral type reactor have been carried out using the VISTA facility and the calculated results using the MARS code, which is a best estimate system analysis code have been compared with the experimental results. The VISTA facility consists of the primary, secondary, and the PRHRS circuits, to simulate the SMART design verification program. The experimental results show that the fluid is well stabilized in the PRHRS loop and the PRHRS heat exchanger accomplishes well its functions in removing the transferred heat from the primary side in the steam generator as long as the heat exchanger is submerged in the water in the emergency cooldown tank (ECT). The decay heat and the sensible heat can be sufficiently removed from the primary loop with the operation of the PRHRS. The MARS code predicts reasonably well the characteristics of the natural circulation in the PRHRS. From the calculation results, most of the heat transferred from the primary system is removed at the PRHRS heat exchanger by a condensation heat transfer.     

Thermal hydraulic characteristics analysis of direct residual heat removal system for China pressurized reactor

An innovative Direct Residual Heat Removal System (DRHRS) is proposed for Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) in this paper. The new designed parallel DRHRS is different from traditional Passive Residual Heat Removal System (PRHRS), which is connected to steam generation. The thermal hydraulic transient analysis of the new designed DRHRS for CPR1000 has been carried out using the widely accepted safety analysis software RELAP5. The new designed DRHRS is directly connected to the primary loop, which consists of three independent parallel loops, three intermediate cooling circuits and an air loop. The transient behaviors of passive safety system are studied, and design parameter sensitivity analysis is carried out. Results show that during Station Black_Out (SBO) accident, natural circulations are established stably in passive safety system so that core decay is continuously removed from primary loop. And the new designed DRHRS has the capability of removing residual heat to the atmosphere without any external energy input at different surrounding environmental temperature. In emergency, the DRHRS directly remove core decay heat from reactor outlet, and efficiency of residual heat removal is improved. Moreover, reactor power plant maintains safe even if double-ended rupture of a single tube during SBO accident occurs. Thus, the designed DRHRS has great significance for increasing the degree of inherent safety features of CPR1000.
