混合能谱超临界水堆堆芯设计分析

提出了一种新型的超临界水堆概念设计:混合能谱超临界水堆,它包括慢谱区和快谱区两部分.其慢谱区燃料组件采用双排燃料组件,快谱区采用简单的正方形栅元燃料组件.慢谱区与快谱区的燃料组件都采用同向流动方式来简化堆芯设计.慢谱区的冷却剂出口温度远低于整个堆芯的出口温度,这大大降低了慢谱区包壳的温度峰值.此外,由于快谱区冷却剂密度很小,流速很高,故可采用较大的栅元结构,这有效地降低了包壳周向局部传热不均匀性.所以混合堆在充分继承慢谱、快谱堆芯优点的基础上,弥补两者的不足.     

Benchmarking verification of the control rod effects on the MTR core parameters using the MTR-PC and MCNP codes throughout 3D core modeling and rod-drop experiment

Verification of nuclear data and codes is highly recommended for reactor safety analyses. In this research, MTR-PC package and MCNP 4C are used as deterministic and Monte Carlo simulation code, respectively. They are taken into account safety parameters as a function of control rods. Control absorbers classified in two different types. The first called Shim Safety Rods (SSR) made of an Ag–In–Cd composition, and the second one is the Fine Regulating Rod (FRR) made of Stainless Steel. One startup test of a 5 MW Material Testing Reactor (MTR) is simulated throughout the 3-D core modeling. It checks the overall simulating performance. Reactivity worth effects of control rods are calculated and benchmarked against rod-drop experimental results. Both types of codes are taken into account the integral and differential behavior of reactivity worth effects. The startup state has been simulated very carefully, and also total reactivity worth effect of control rods differs from the measured value less than 1.1% (in pcm). Results are in good agreement and highly reliable to calculate the total reactivity worth effect of control rods, and to simulate the startup state of MTRs as Best Estimate (BE) tools.     

The conversion factor of Keff to K3.7 in thermoluminescence dating

In the fine-grain TL dating the full α dose must be converted into the equivalent β dose.The conversion is finished by Keff-value,which is an effective α effectiveness.But the Keff can not be measured directly for each sample and only the external radiative efficiency K3.7 can be measured.In order to obtain the Keff a special study for the conversion factor of Keff to K3.7 has been made using the ultrathin TLD.The results show that the conversion factor of the TLD for archaeological samples is 0.847,which is in agrcement with calculated value 0.85.

The Feasibility Study on Commercialized Fast Reactor (FR) Cycle Systems is under progress in order to propose prominent FR cycle systems that will respond to the diverse needs of society in the future. The design studies on various FR system concepts have been achieved and then the evaluations of potential to achieve the development targets have been also carried out. Crucial development issues have been found out for each FR system concept and their development plans for the key technologies are summarized as the roadmap. As a result, it has been confirmed that the sodium-cooled FR concept is highly suited to the development targets and R&D issues are related enhancing the economy with certain perspectives for realization. A flexible and robust development program for the FR cycle system will be proposed taking account of the characteristics for each FR concept until the end of the Phase II study.     

Development of a MCNP5 and ORIGEN2 based burnup code for molten salt reactor

The Molten Salt Reactor(MSR) is one of the six advanced reactor nuclear energy systems for further research and development selected by Generation IV International Forum(GIF),which is distinguished by its core in which the fuel is dissolved in molten fluoride salt.Because fuel flow in the primary loop,the depletion of MSR is different from that of solid-fuel reactors.In this paper,an MCNP5 and ORIGEN2 Coupled Burnup(MOCBurn) code for MSR is developed under the MATLAB platform.Some new methods and novel arrangements are used to make it suitable for fuel flow in the MSR.To consider the fuel convection and diffusion in the primary loop of MSR,fuel mixing calculation is carried out after each burnup time step.Modeling function for geometry with repeat structures is implicated for reactor analysis with complex structures.Calculation for a high-burnup reactor pin cell benchmark is performed using the MOCBurn code.Results of depletion study show that the MOCBurn code is suitable for the traditional solid-fuel reactors.A preliminary study of the fuel mixture effect in MSR is also carried out.
