CANDU重水堆燃料管理

论述秦山三期核电站所采用的ＣＡＮＤＵ６ 反应堆的燃料管理。ＣＡＮＤＵ 堆的换料是带功率进行的, 这一特征使得它的堆内燃料管理与必须停堆换料的反应堆有明显的不同。ＣＡＮＤＵ 堆燃料管理有设计和运行两方面的内容。在设计阶段, 燃料管理涉及堆芯时均通量／ 功率分布的设计; 在运行阶段, 电厂换料工程师的职责包括选择要换料的燃料通道, 跟踪堆功率变化史, 以及确保各最大功率限值不被超越。     

Performance evaluation of a new signal processing system design to improve CANDU SDS1 trip response during large break LOCA events

Performance of a recently developed signal processing system for CANDU (Canada Deuterium Uraniu) reactor shutdown system 1 (SDS1) is evaluated in this paper. The evaluation is carried out in MATLAB/Simulink software environment as well as with an existing power measurement and signal processing system. The new signal processing algorithm is obtained based on the synthesis of several first order low pass filters with different delayed time constants. Throughout this paper, a special attention has been paid to compare the new signal processing system with the existing one. The dynamic behavior of the new signal processing system in the practical large loss of coolant accidents (LLOCA) events has also been examined. Simulation results show that during the LLOCA event, the reactor trip time, as well as the peak power, is decreased remarkably. Through the simulation studies, it has convincingly demonstrated that the new signal processing system has significant advantages over the existing system in terms of the improved trip response and accommodation of the spurious trip immunity. This advantage will significantly enhance the safety margin, or will bring economical benefits to nuclear power plants.

An investigation on recycling the recovered uranium from electro-refining process in a CANDU reactor

Feasibility studies for recycling the recovered uranium from electro-refining process of pyroprocessing into a Canada Deuterium Uranium (CANDU) reactor have been carried out with a source term analysis code ORIGEN-S, a reactor lattice analysis code WIMS-AECL, and a Monte Carlo analysis code MCNPX. The uranium metal can be recovered in a solid cathode during an electro-refining process and has a form of a dendrite phase with about 99.99% expecting recovery purity. Considering some impurities of transuranic (TRU) elements and fission products in the recovered uranium, sensitivity calculations were also performed for the compositions of impurities. For a typical spent PWR fuel of 3.0 wt.% of uranium enrichment, 30 GWD/tU burnup and 10 years cooling, the recovered uranium exhibited an extended burnup up to 14 GWD/tU. And among the several safety parameters, the void reactivity at the equilibrium state was estimated 15 mk. Additionally, a simple sphere model was constructed to analyze surface dose rates with the Monte Carlo calculations. It was found that the recovered uranium from the spent PWR fuel by electro-refining process has a significant radioactivity depending on the impurities such as fission products.     

MOX燃料在CANDU重水堆中应用可行性的研究

针对CANFLEX组件装载MOX燃料在CANDU重水堆中的应用进行了时均和瞬态验证计算。计算结果表明,最大通道功率和最大棒束功率均未超过限值。勿需对堆芯结构和运行模式做重大改变即可完成从天然铀堆芯向MOX堆芯的过渡。提出了应用MOX燃料的PWR／CANDU联合燃料循环策略。估算表明,秦山三期CANDU堆采用先进PWR／CANDU联合燃料循环,将使燃耗提高到13900MW·d／t(U);相对于PWR和CANDU堆各自独立的燃料循环,每年节省天然铀资源180t,减少乏燃料处置量约128t。
