新版HAD 102/07—2020核动力厂反应堆堆芯设计中明确要求:设计分析应考虑反应堆冷却剂系统正常运行产生的腐蚀产物在包壳表面的沉积导致的燃料棒传热恶化。因此,有必要分析燃料污垢对事故工况下燃料棒传热性能的影响,特别是以燃料芯块温度和包壳温度为验收准则的典型事故工况。本文开发污垢计算模型,采用等效热导率关系式计算含污垢和氧化层的包壳热导率,即认为污垢、氧化层均匀分散在包壳层中,使得包壳热导率变化,该等效包壳层所引起的温度梯度与实际情况相同。随后,基于对“华龙一号”核动力厂事故分析结果,选取了典型非LOCA事故(弹棒事故、功率运行下单个控制棒失控抽出事故)和LOCA事故进行污垢影响研究。结果表明,考虑污垢后,事故过程中的燃料芯块中心峰值温度和包壳峰值温度均有显著上升,但依然满足事故验收准则要求。 相似文献

核燃料元件是反应堆的核心部件,由燃料芯块、包壳及其构件组成。由于燃料元件的运行环境比较恶劣,中子辐照、冷却剂的腐蚀及在开堆、停堆、和运行后期燃料芯块与包壳的机械相互作用和裂变气体产物的释放,使包壳管承受双向应力,均会造成燃料元件的力学性能下降,形成安全隐患,它的安全性能直接影响反应堆的安全可靠性。为更好地模拟包壳在堆内的受力状态,一般采用内压爆破试验来获得包壳材料的断裂强度与延性数据。 相似文献

中国铅基研究实验堆(CLEAR-Ⅰ)被确定为中国科学院加速器驱动次临界系统(ADS)专项的主选堆型。燃料元件是铅基反应堆的核心部件之一,因此需确保燃料元件的芯块中心温度和包壳最高温度符合设计准则的要求。本文利用有限元程序ANSYS对燃料元件活性区在正常运行工况和失流事故下的温度场进行了数值模拟与分析。正常运行工况下的模拟结果表明,芯块中心温度远低于UO2的熔化温度限值,包壳最高温度低于材料的使用温度限值,满足设计准则中关于上限使用温度的要求。失流事故下的模拟结果表明,失流事故发生后,芯块中心温度和包壳最高温度都会明显上升。当冷却剂流速降低到0.1m/s时,包壳最高温度将超过正常使用温度;紧急停堆滞后时间超过17.5s时,包壳的最高温度将超过事故温度限值。以上分析结果可作为燃料元件安全评审工作的基础。 相似文献

由于控制棒抽出引起堆芯内反应性失控增加,从而导致核功率剧增的事故定义为一组控制棒组件抽出事故。这种瞬态可能是反应堆控制系统或棒控系统失灵引起的。多普勒负反应性反馈效应能在保护动作延迟的时间内将功率限制在可接受的水平。该事故中,燃料棒表面可能发生偏离泡核沸腾(departure from nucleate boiling,简称DNB),导致燃料元件包壳烧毁;燃料芯块也可能发生熔化,对包壳产生不利影响。文章对岭澳混合堆芯和提高富集度论证次临界或低功率启动工况下提棒事故进行了分析。分析结果表明,事故瞬态中不会发生燃料芯块熔化或燃料元件包壳烧毁,可以保证燃料元件的完整性,燃料设计满足限制准则。 相似文献

燃料棒在堆内运行时,由于初次破口会导致包壳发生二次氢化现象,二次氢化是导致燃料棒发生严重破损的重要因素。针对实际工况下的破损燃料棒,在中国原子能科学研究院燃料与材料检验设施(303热室)上开展了相关辐照后检验,并采用热室金相手段,对燃料棒二次氢化行为进行了观察分析。结果表明:二次氢化破口有明显的氢化肿胀现象;氢化物分阶段从内壁扩散到外壁,并形成“日爆”现象;二次氢化部位芯块温度明显升高,并会导致芯块气孔迁移、芯块晶粒长大、柱状晶生长等现象发生;相比未破损棒,破损棒二次氢化部位水侧氧化膜厚度有增加现象,但仍处于正常范围内。 相似文献

The experience with early operational guidelines to eliminate PCI failures in LWR fuel is briefly discussed. For future applications a more detailed PCI surveillance and protection model is proposed. It is designed for the use in administrative guidelines as well as in automatic power density surveillance and limitation systems. Important model parameters are directly derivable form experimental data by using the ‘RSST Approach’ that—in order to prevent PCI failures—at least one out of four ‘predictors’ (i.e. power range, power step, speed of power increase, or time at transient overpower) has to be below a critical value at any operating time. An algorithm is provided for defining and monitoring an adequate ‘conditioned power’ as a reference power for acceptable power ramps.The operational consequences of the new surveillance model are discussed and show, that expected power losses are similar or less than from early guidelines.Finally, relevant features of mechanistic PCI fuel rod models are discussed. Some of the PCI failure prediction models, which have been proposed in the literature, seem to be unnecessarily conservative and—if strictly applied to LWR core surveillance—lead to unduely severe restrictions in plant operation. 相似文献

Heat transfer and fluid flow studies related to spent fuel bundle of a research reactor in fuelling machine has been carried out. When the fuel is in reactor core, the heat generated in the fuel bundle is removed by heavy water under normal reactor operation. However, during the de-fuelling operation, the fuel bundle is exposed to air for some period called dry period. During this period, the decay heat from fuel bundle has to be removed by air flow. This flow of air is induced by natural convection only. In this period, the temperatures of fuel and clad rise. If clad temperature rises beyond a certain limit, structural failure may occur. This failure can result into release of fission products from fuel rod. Hence the temperature of clad has to be within specified limit under all conditions. The objective of this study is to estimate the clad temperature rise during the dry period.In the CFD simulation, the turbulent natural convection flow over fuel and radiation heat transfer are accounted. Standard k- ? model for turbulence, Boussinesq approximation for computing the natural convection flow and IMMERSOL model for radiation are used.The steady state and transient CFD simulation of flow and heat is performed, using the CFD code PHOENICS. The steady state analysis provides the maximum temperature the clad will attain if fuel bundle is left exposed to air for sufficiently long time. For safe operation, the clad temperature should be limited to a specified value. From steady state CFD analysis, it is found that steady state clad temperature for various decay powers is higher than the limiting value. Hence transient analysis is also performed. In the transient analysis, the variation of clad temperature with time is predicted for various decay powers. Safe dry time, i.e. the time required for clad to reach the limiting value, is predicted for various decay powers. Determination of safe dry time helps in deciding the time available to the operator to drop the bundle in light water pool for storage. The analysis is found useful in optimizing the de-fuelling process. 相似文献

A computer code WTRLGD has been developed to describe the transient internal pressure of a waterlogged fuel rod during power burst and also to predict the possibility of the rod failure in the mode of cladding rupture. The code predicts transient thermal behavior of the fuel rod on the basis of an assumption of axisymmetry, and thermal-hydraulic transients of the internal water on the basis of a homogeneous volume-junction model modified so as to involve the cladding deformation. Calculated transients of the rod pressure are in fairly good agreement with those measured in the NSRR experiments, simulating the fuel rod behavior under an RIA condition. The comparison between calculation and experiment verifies that the code is an effective tool for the prediction of the failure of a waterlogged fuel rod. 相似文献

A Boiling Water Reactor core concept has been proposed using a new fuel component called spectral shift rod (SSR). The SSR is a new type of water rod in which a water level is formed during core operation. The water level can be controlled by the core recirculation flow rate. By using SSRs, the reactor can be operated with all control rods withdrawn through the operation cycle as well as that a much larger natural uranium saving is possible due to spectral shift operation than in current BWRs. The steady state and transient characteristics of the SSRs have been examined by experiments and analyses to certify the feasibility. In a reference design, a four times larger spectral shift width as for the current BWR has been obtained. 相似文献

A few thrice-burned Zry-4 fuel assemblies which were loaded in one of the PWRs operating in Korea were found to be failed due to PCI during a power ramp following a rector trip, while thrice-burned Zr–Nb fuel assemblies and twice-burned Zry-4 ones were intact. To investigate the effect of fuel rod oxide thickness on power ramp-induced cladding hoop stress, three intact fuel rods were selected, which include an intact twice-burned Zry-4 fuel rod, an intact thrice-burned Zr-4 fuel rod and an intact thrice-burned Zr–Nb fuel rod. With the use of a fuel performance analysis code, burnup-dependent steady-state cladding stress and ramp power-dependent cladding stresses at the power-ramped burnup were predicted for the three intact fuel rods. It was found that the cladding oxide thickness has a considerable effect on the ramp power-dependent cladding hoop stresses. In addition, the cladding maximum stress of the thrice-burned Zry-4 fuel rod with 125 μm oxide thickness exceeded an ultimate cladding tensile strength of the Zry-4 cladding when the pellet–clad friction coefficient-dependent cladding stress concentration ratio was considered. However, the thrice-burned Zr–Nb fuel rod with 50 μm oxide thickness was evaluated to have a considerable margin against the power ramp-induced PCI failure. 相似文献

This study is concerned with structural integrity assessment of Pressure Water Reactor's (PWR) fuel rods under pellet–cladding interaction (PCI) loading condition. An important experimental and research cooperative program between EDF, AREVA-NP and the Atomic Energy Commission CEA is achieved in order to get a better understanding of the mechanisms possibly leading to PCI failure, as well as to qualify a PCI resistant rod design. The objectives of this work are: first, to improve the understanding of the pellet mechanical properties impact on cladding local loading with 3D simulations results, and second, to propose a new phenomenological rupture criterion for a better assessment of the failure risk. In this study fuel behaviour modelling under nominal and transient loading conditions is achieved with a multi-dimensional simulation tool called ALCYONE, included in the new fuel software PLEIADES currently co-developed by the CEA and EDF. Cladding loading due to mechanical interaction during power transient stage is first analysed through pellet–cladding interfacial stresses computed in the 3D simulation. Then, a 2D model is proposed in order to establish a correlation between interfacial loading and stress concentration in the cladding. In order to assess the failure risk under PCI a phenomenological criterion based on the membrane circumferential stress in the cladding and shear stresses at pellet–cladding interface is proposed. To compute the shear loading at pellet–cladding interface a new parameter (called Wrθ) is introduced. Based on 3D calculations of PCI, it is shown in this paper that pellet fracture properties can have a significant effect on PCI loading. 相似文献

Since PCI fuel rod failures are generally attributed to stress corrosion cracking of the clad, mechanical as well as chemical aspects must be considered in PCI modelling. Transient fission gas release, amplified by a thermal feedback effect, is expected to be very important with regard to both aspects. In view of the limited possibilities to describe analytically the complex mechanisms contributing to PCI failures, KWU uses a semiempirical PCI approach to evaluate the experimental results from ramp tests and power reactor experience and to develop preliminary PCI failure criteria. In parallel to the empirical approach, systematic PCI investigations are performed. To calculate stresses and strains during ramps, including fuel and clad plasticity and creep, the code SENATOR has been developed. The ANSYS code is used for the calculation of local stress and strain effects. 相似文献

During reactor operation, many complex changes occur in fuel rod which affects its thermal, mechanical and material properties. These changes also affect the reactor response to the transient and accident situations. Realistic simulation of fuel rod behavior under transients such as reactivity-initiated accident (RIA) is of great significance. In this study, thermal hydraulic analysis code THEATRe (Thermal Hydraulic Engineering Analysis Tool in Real-time) has been modified by addition of fuel rod behavior models for dynamic simulation of nuclear reactor. Transient changes in gas-gap parameters were taken into account by modeling the gas-gap behavior. Thermo-mechanical behavior of fuel rod is modeled to take into account the thermal, elastic and plastic deformation. To simulate RIA, point reactor kinetics model is also incorporated in the THEATRe code. To demonstrate the transient fuel rod behavior, AP1000 reactor is modeled and three hypothetical RIA cases are simulated. The RIA is considered at three different reactor power levels, i.e. 100, 50 and 1% of nominal power. The investigated parameters are fuel temperature, cladding stress and strain, fuel and cladding thermal conductivity and heat transfer coefficient in gas-gap. Modified code calculates the fuel rod temperatures according to updated fuel, clad and gas-gap parameters at the onset of steady-state operation and during the transient. The modified code provides lower steady-state fuel temperature as compared to the original code. Stress and strain analyses indicate that the hoop and radial strain is higher at high power locations of the fuel rod; therefore, gap closure process will initially occur in the central portion of the fuel rod and it should be given more emphasis in the safety analysis of the fuel rod and nuclear reactor during accidents and transients. 相似文献
