Description

Embedded lead bismuth alloy loop for fuel irradiation test
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of nuclear reactor fuel irradiation, in particular to an embedded lead bismuth alloy loop for a fuel irradiation test.
Background
The lead bismuth alloy/lead cooling fast reactor is one of 6 4 th generation advanced nuclear energy systems selected by the 4 th generation nuclear energy forum. The lead-bismuth alloy/lead cooling fast reactor not only meets the requirements of a 4 th generation nuclear energy system, but also has certain operation and use experience, and is one of hot spots of the current advanced nuclear energy system research. Research and design of a reactor and an accelerator driving subcritical system using a Lead-bismuth Eutectic (LBE) as a coolant are widely carried out by domestic and foreign research institutions.
Liquid lead bismuth alloys (LBE) have many advantageous properties as a reactor coolant: 1) chemical inertness with water and air; 2) low steam pressure in the operating temperature range; 3) a high melting point; 4) a large atomic number; 5) excellent neutron performance-low neutron absorption. However, there are still some challenges that are not fully addressed using LBE as a coolant. For example, LBEs can be prone to corrosion of materials at high temperatures, dissolved oxygen control in LBEs, localized deposition of corrosion products, and the like. Additionally, the bismuth-209 nucleus in an LBE absorbs neutrons to produce polonium-210 (half-life about 138 days), polonium-210 having

The main functions and operation modes of the embedded lead-bismuth alloy loop are as follows:
(1) simulating the thermal-hydraulic conditions of the LBE reactor to derive the heat release of the test fuel element
The temperature of water in the high-temperature and high-pressure water loop reactor is 270-280 ℃, and the LBE temperature outside the test fuel element is 350-450 ℃ through the radial heat conduction temperature difference; the LBE in-loop LBE flow rate is less than 2m/s and can be adjusted over a wide range to simulate the actual flow rate of the LBE stack. Under normal operating conditions, heat generated by the test fuel element is transferred to the LBE through convective heat transfer; the cooling water is finally transferred to a water loop in a radial heat exchange mode and is taken out of the in-pile device through water circulation. Part of the released heat is taken away by LBE temperature rise; the high temperature LBE flowing out of the test section is cooled by heat exchange with LBE outside the LBE shunt pipe 5 in the ascending flow process, and is further cooled to be below the limit value of the running temperature of the electromagnetic circulating pump by the LBE loop cooler 102 after flowing out of the reactor.
(2) Controlling the dissolved oxygen and impurities in the LBE and establishing the LBE chemical environment meeting the test requirements
The upstream of the inlet of the electromagnetic circulating pump is provided with a filter screen type and a magnetic trap type filter for filtering solid impurities and partial corrosion products in the loop. LBE purification system 104 can sample LBE in the loop for analysis, impurity purification and chemical addition, so that each index of LBE meets the test requirement. The oxygen control system 112 provided with the expansion tank 113 is used for dissolved oxygen control in the entire LBE, effectively controlling corrosion of the LBE and structural materials, and meeting the LBE chemical property requirements of the LBE prototype stack.
(3) Residual heat removal and long-term cooling capacity of device
After LBE loop fuel irradiation test is finished, the radial heat conduction of the irradiation test device is utilized to transfer decay heat release of the fuel elements and materials into water loop cooling water. The water loop is used as the final heat trap for the waste heat of the fuel element. After the reactor is shut down, the cooling water flow and the cooling water temperature of the water loop are gradually reduced, and finally the cooling stage is transited to the operation in the middle section.
(4) Preventing fuel element from overheating and burning under LBE loop accident condition
The system pressure of the LBE circuit is close to the normal pressure, the break release flow of the LBE is very small, and even a tiny break can be blocked due to solidification of the LBE. As a result, LBE circuit breach incidents have little impact on the thermal safety of the fuel elements of the embedded circuit.
When LBE flow of an LBE loop is greatly reduced due to the fault of an electromagnetic circulating pump, the temperature of LBE outside a test fuel element is greatly increased; at the same time, the cooling capacity of the water circuit also rises due to the increase in the radial temperature difference. The calculation result shows that when the flow speed of the LBE loop is greatly reduced by 90 percent from 1.5m/s, the surface temperature of the fuel element is less than the safety limit value of 750 ℃ under the condition of no operation, the radial temperature difference of the LBE pressure pipe is less than 150 ℃ and the highest temperature is less than 430 ℃, the heat conduction of the in-stack test device can be ensured, and the test fuel element is prevented from being burnt out due to overheating.
(5) Prevent fuel element overheating and burning out under water circuit breach accident condition
Under the working condition of a water loop breach accident, the pressure accumulation safety injection tank 303 of the cooling water loop automatically injects water into the cold and heat pipe sections simultaneously so as to provide emergency cooling capacity of the water loop, the direction of the pipeline breach is automatically judged through signals provided by an instrument control system, and the opening positions of the first safety injection valve 304 and the second safety valve 305 are adjusted so as to ensure that emergency cooling water flows through the in-pile device at a large flow rate and ensure the safety of fuel elements and the in-pile device. After the pressure accumulation safety injection tank 303 is emptied, pure water in the emergency water tank 301 is pumped by the emergency cooling pump 302 and is injected into the in-pile device of the water loop, so that the long-term cooling capacity of the whole embedded loop is provided, and the safety of fuel elements is ensured.
(6) Real-time monitoring multiple test parameters and providing multiple safe shutdown signals
The test parameter monitoring system is provided with temperature, flow, pressure, oxygen content and other parameter detectors at different positions of the LBE loop and the in-pile device, so that comprehensive parameter monitoring information is provided, and the operation and safety of the loop are guaranteed. The LBE loop in-pile device has high outlet temperature and low inlet flow signal to trigger the research of pile protection shutdown. The leak detection system of the water loop carries out damage monitoring on the water loop pressure pipe, so that the water loop testing device is completely isolated from the reactor. The water loop is provided with four shutdown protection signals of high outlet temperature, low inlet flow, overhigh outlet pressure and overlow outlet pressure of the examination device, and reactor shutdown is triggered once the loop is abnormal in operation.
