Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear reactors, and particularly relates to a multifunctional safety rod for a space nuclear reactor.
Background
The reactor cores of many space nuclear reactors are provided with safety rods in the design scheme, and the safety rods are used for ensuring the safety of the reactor under the working condition of launching and falling accidents, so that the reactor can still maintain a subcritical state even if entering water, wet sand and the like.
When the space nuclear reactor is launched, the safety rods are positioned in the reactor core, and when the space nuclear reactor is successfully launched and is ready to be started, the safety rods are drawn out of the reactor core, and the reactor starts to run under the control of the control mechanism. In the existing scheme, the safety rod mainly has the following two operation modes:
(1) a first mode of operation is shown in figures 4 and 5. When the safety rod is successfully launched, the safety rod is drawn out of the reactor core and enters the shielding body to become a part of the shielding body material, so that a partial shielding function can be provided. This mode of operation is used for the safety rods of the US SP-100 reactor (cf. the document "culture of space nuclear reactor power systems").
(2) A second mode of operation is shown in figures 6 and 7. During firing, the safety rods are located in the core, and when the reactor is ready to start after successful firing, the safety rods are drawn forward out of the core and out of the reactor system into outer space. The reactor safety rod proposed in Promiers project of the United states adopts this operation mode (refer to "Prometheus project reactor module final report, for naval reactor information").
Disclosure of Invention
Based on the knowledge of the defects of the prior art, the invention aims to provide a novel safety rod scheme, which has two novel functions on the basis of the prior scheme: 1. providing additional reactivity to the space nuclear reactor can help reduce fuel loading, reactor weight and volume, and cost; 2. helping to reduce the axial power non-uniformity factor of a spatial nuclear reactor.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts a technical solution of a multifunctional safety rod for a spatial nuclear reactor, including a safety rod and a follower connected in series, wherein the safety rod is used for ensuring safety of the spatial nuclear reactor under a launch-drop accident condition, and the follower is used for moderating neutrons in a core of the spatial nuclear reactor, so as to increase reactivity of the spatial nuclear reactor and reduce an axial power nonuniformity factor of the core of the spatial nuclear reactor.
Furthermore, the safety rod and the follower are both cylindrical and have the same diameter, and the safety rod and the follower are coaxial.
Further, a cavity is arranged inside the follower body.
Further, the cavity is located in the middle of the follower.
Further, the safety rod is made of boron carbide.
Furthermore, the material of the follower is beryllium or beryllium oxide.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
1. at the start-up of the space nuclear reactor, the safety rods 1 are drawn back out of the active region 7 of the reactor (i.e. the core) and into the shield inner bore 5 of the shield 4 as part of the shield 4 material, thus reducing the initial weight of the shield 4.
2. When safety rod 1 is put forward reactor active region 7, follow body 2 and get into reactor active region 7, can play the effect that the neutron was moderated, for the reactor provides extra reactivity, can help reducing fuel loading, reduce reactor weight and volume, reduce cost.
3. The cavity 3 is arranged in the central area of the follower 2, so that after entering the reactor active area 7, the neutron moderation provided in the central area of the reactor active area 7 is smaller than that provided in the two end areas of the reactor active area 7, which can help to reduce the axial power non-uniformity factor of the core of the spatial nuclear reactor.
