Abstract
The invention discloses a method for designing an axial travelling wave reactor starting area. The method comprises the following steps: (a) setting the length of the reactor starting area; (b) axially dividing the reactor starting area; and (c) setting the nuclear density of each axial section of the reactor starting area. According to the reactor starting area designed by the method, after an axial travelling wave reactor stably runs, fuel compositions in each axial section of a main combustion area are quite complicated and comprise fissionable nuclide, fissile nuclide and fission products. Particularly, the fission products affect reactor core reactivity and power distribution greatly due to the difference of kinds and content of the fission products. The four fuels are adopted, so that the combustion condition can be simulated, and the whole power can be regulated by adjusting the content of each composition.

In described step (b), the heap area axially length of each section is 5~15 cm, finds through applicant's repeatedly research, and heap area is better when axially the length of each section is 5~15cm.After the stable operation of axial row ripple heap, axially each section of propellant composition is different in main combustion zone, propagation performance is also different, also while only having fuel axial segmentation to arrange when beginning of life heap area is designed, could simulate the characteristic after the stable operation of row ripple heap, axial segmentation is controlled between 5~15cm, the power difference that can ensure axially each section is little, can be used as again the later stage axially to unload the minimum unit reloading, and is convenient to fuel management.
Described step (c) heap area is axially in the arranging of each section of nucleon density, and the scope of x is 60%~85%, the scope of y is 2%~10%, the scope of z is 0~30%.After the stable operation of axial row ripple heap, main combustion zone axially each section of propellant composition is quite complicated, comprise fissilenuclide, fissile nuclide, fission product etc., especially fission product is because the difference of its kind, content is huge to reactor core reactivity, power distribution influence, adopt this kind of fuel type, can simulate combustion case, can reach the object that regulates overall power by adjusting the content of its each component again.
