The 10 MW High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor-Test Module (HTR-10) is a pebble bed experimental reactor built by the Institute of Nuclear Energy Technology (INET), Tsinghua University. This paper introduces the first critical prediction calculations and the experiments for the HTR-10. The German VSOP neutronics code is used for the prediction calculations of the first loading. The characteristics of pebble-bed high temperature gas-cooled reactors are taken into account, including the double heterogeneity of the fuel element, the buckling feedback of the spectrum calculation, the effect of the mixture of fuel elements and graphite balls, and the correction of the diffusion coefficients in the upper cavity based on transport theory. Also considered are the effects of impurities in the fuel elements, in the graphite balls and in the reflector graphite on the reactivity. The number of fuel elements and graphite balls in the initial core is predicted to provide reference for the first criticality experiment. The critical experiment adopts a method of extrapolating to approach criticality. The first criticality was attained on December 1, 2000. The first criticality experiment shows that the predicted critical number of the fuel elements and graphite balls is in close agreement with the experimental results. Their relative error is less than 1.0%, implying the physical predictions and the results of the criticality experiment are much beyond expectations. 相似文献

为开展关于核热推进反应堆堆芯的稳态热工水力计算,基于现有针对压水堆的系统分析程序,添加了氢气的物性模型及流动换热和摩擦阻力关系式,并采用公开文献中的数据进行验证。结果表明采用上述模型计算得到的结果与参考值符合较好,二次开发的程序适用于氢气的流动换热计算。针对一种折流式核热推进反应堆堆芯,使用该系统程序建模并计算,得到了堆芯的流量、焓升等分布情况。研究结果表明,对于折流式核热推进反应堆,内外堆芯燃料元件之间的导热会增强堆芯释热不均,对堆芯的稳态热工水力特性有较大影响,堆芯物理方案的设计应结合热工水力方面的计算。本研究可为核热推进系统内氢气流动换热计算提供借鉴。 相似文献

高温气冷堆结合磁流体发电是一种高效的空间电源系统,可以满足空间任务对于大功率、高效率的需求,具有广阔的应用前景。本文参考美国普罗米修斯计划中的开放栅格方案,结合磁流体发电需满足的设计条件,提出了一种由三角形布置、217根燃料棒构成的堆芯方案。在通过试验数据确定流动模型后,对该空间堆进行了三维建模,并在考虑气隙结构、燃料棒功率分布及堆内辐射的基础上研究其热工水力特性,重点针对环境温度及外壁面发射率展开了热工参数敏感性分析。计算结果表明,该堆芯热工设计满足材料温度、压降限值等指标要求。冷却剂在燃料区横向流动不明显,不存在复杂涡结构,流动现象相对较为简单。稳态热工计算结果对环境温度的改变并不敏感,但发射率的改变影响相对较大。 相似文献

In the 10 MW High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor-Test Module (HTR-10) fuel elements move through the core driven by gravity. To reach their design burn-up the fuel elements are re-shuttled five times. This transportation outside the core is mainly achieved pneumatically. Although, adopting the international experience at design and operation of similar systems some key components were improved so that the fuel handling system (FHS) becomes simpler and more reliable. The improved components were tested in full-scale testing facilities. The debugging test and the first loading operation for the FHS indicate that the FHS meets the demands of the HTR-10. In this paper, the functions, design parameters, technological processes, main components and design characteristics of the FHS are described in detail. The flow schemes, design parameters of the full-scale testing facilities and the experimental results are briefly introduced. 相似文献

堆芯流量分区是实现堆芯出口温度展平的重要手段,合理地分区可以提高反应堆的安全性和经济性。本文将人工智能优化算法与单通道模型进行耦合,构建了反应堆堆芯流量分区计算模型,分别开展遗传算法、差分进化算法、量子遗传算法在反应堆流量分区问题上的收敛性分析。根据所得最优算法,分别以寿期初功率分布、各燃料组件在整个寿期内最大功率为样本数据,基于小型长寿命自然循环铅铋快堆SPALLER -100开展两种不同流量分区方案对比分析。研究结果表明,在3种智能优化算法中,量子遗传算法在反应堆流量分区问题上收敛性最佳,能较快地搜索到最优分区结果;基于寿期初功率分布样本数据所得燃料组件最大出口温度超出反应堆热工安全限值,而基于各燃料组件在整个寿期内最大功率所得燃料组件最大出口温度降低了140 K,且始终保持在热工安全限值之下;SPALLER-100反应堆最佳分区数为5,再增加分区数对提高反应堆热工安全性能影响较小。 相似文献

The Chinese 10 MW high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTR-10) attained its first criticality on December 21, 2000. The fabrication of the first fuel for the HTR-10 started in February 2000 at the Institute of Nuclear Energy Technology (INET), Tsinghua University. Up to September 2000, a total of 11 721 spherical fuel elements were successfully produced. The average free uranium fraction of the first fuel-determined by the burn-leach method-was 5.0×10−5. So far, the release rate R/B of the fission gas, measured in the irradiation test, shows that not a single particle in three irradiated spherical fuel elements failed as the results of the irradiation test carried out in Russia. This paper describes the design parameter, the fabrication technology and the performance data of the HTR-10 first fuel, and the production and quality control experiences obtained from the manufacture of the first fuel for the HTR-10. 相似文献

在液态燃料熔盐堆(Molten salt reactor,MSR)热工水力设计中,为实现堆芯径向功率展平需对堆芯流量分配进行设计,使得堆芯进口流量分布正比于释热量分布,而下腔室结构和流场分布对堆芯流量分配起决定性作用。利用FLUENT软件对堆芯三维流场进行模拟,通过调节下腔室结构和流量分配装置,对下腔室流场分布进行优化,最终实现堆芯流量合理分配。数值模拟结果表明,喇叭状下腔室比椭球形下腔室熔盐通道流量标准差降低4.2%,设置流量分配板熔盐通道流量标准差降低29.2%;改变下腔室结构和设置流量分配装置能够较好调节流量分配和功率分布匹配性,该结果可为液态熔盐堆堆芯优化设计提供依据。 相似文献

The R&D of spherical fuel elements for the 10 MW high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTR-10) started in 1986 in China. A process known as cold quasi-isostatic molding was used for manufacturing spherical fuel elements, and about 20,540 spherical fuel elements were produced in 2000 and 2001. Fabrication technology and graphite matrix materials were investigated and optimized. Cold properties of the spherical fuel elements met the design specifications. The mean free uranium fraction of 44 batches was 4.57 × 10−5. In-pile irradiation test results showed that irradiation did not lead to apparent change in linear dimensional, geometrical density, porosity and strength of matrix graphite samples. No cracks and blisters were observed in spherical fuel elements. This indicated that matrix graphite and spherical fuel elements of HTR-10 met the requirement of design specifications. 相似文献

Pakistan Research Reactor (PARR-1) was converted from Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) to Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) fuel, in 1992. The reactor is running successfully with an upgraded power level of 10 MW. In order to save money on the purchase of costly fresh LEU fuel elements, it is being thought to use some of the less burnt HEU spent fuel elements along with the present LEU fuel elements. In the present study steady-state thermal hydraulics of a proposed mixed fuel core (see Fig. 2) has been carried out. Results show that the proposed core, comprising of 24 LEU and 5 HEU standard fuel elements, with 4 LEU and one HEU control fuel elements, can be safely operated at a power level of 9.86 MW without compromising on safety. Standard computer codes and correlations were employed to compute various parameters, which include: coolant velocity distribution in the core; critical velocity; pressure drop; saturation temperature; temperature distribution in the core and margins to Onset of Nucleate Boiling (ONB), Onset of Flow Instability (OFI) and Departure from Nucleate Boiling (DNB). 相似文献

Safety demonstration tests were conducted on the 10 MW High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor-Test Module (HTR-10) to verify the inherent safety characteristics of modular High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactors (HTGRs) as well as to obtain the transient data of reactor core and primary cooling system for validation of HTGR safety analysis models and codes. As one of these safety demonstration tests, a simulated anticipated transient without scram (ATWS) test called loss of forced cooling by tripping the helium circulator without reactor scram was carried out at 3 MW power level on October 15, 2003. This paper simulates and analyzes the power transient and the thermal response of the reactor during the test by using the THERMIX code. The analytical results are compared with the test data for validation of the code.Owing to the negative temperature coefficient of reactivity, the reactor undergoes a self-shut down after the stop of the helium circulator; the subsequent phenomena such as the recriticality and power oscillations are also studied. During the test a natural circulation loop of helium is established in the core and the other coolant channels and its consequent thermal response such as the temperature redistribution is investigated. In addition, temperatures of the measuring points in the reactor internals are calculated and compared with the measured values. Satisfactory agreements obtained from the comparison demonstrate the basic applicability and reasonability of the THERMIX code for simulating and analyzing the helium circulator trip ATWS test. With respect to the safety features of the HTR-10, it is of most importance that the maximum fuel center temperature during the test is always lower than 1600 °C which is the limited value for the HTGR. 相似文献
