板型先进高温堆的可燃毒物装载优化
板型先进高温堆(Advanced high-temperature reactor,AHTR)的设计概念是由美国橡树岭国家实验室提出并发展的,由于其初始剩余反应性较高,除控制棒外,还考虑采用可燃毒物来补偿剩余反应性。本文通过比较6种候选可燃毒物在燃耗后期的毒物残留特性,从中选取了B4C、Gd2O3、CdO和Er2O3四种球形可燃毒物,采用MCNP与Origen2的耦合程序对其尺寸和装载量进行优化计算。结果表明,可燃毒物Er2O3性能最佳,当每块燃料板装载176 g颗粒半径为740μm的Er2O3时,剩余反应性大约从39 000 pcm降到4 400 pcm,燃耗深度只降低约3%。...

Bibliography: | Background: The advanced high-temperature reactor (AHTR) is conceptional designed by Oka Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) for a central generating station type of 3400 MWt fluoride-salt-cooled high-temperature reactor (FHR). The design employs an innovative plate-type coated particle fuel assembly with uranium enrichment of 9%-20%. The initial core excess reactivity is too large to be handled by the control blades alone. Purpose: This study aims to eliminate the problem of high excess reactivity by analyzing the use of spherical burnable particles. Methods: First of all, according to the physical properties and burn-up chain of burnable poison (BP) materials, six potential candidates were analyzed, and four of them, i.e. B4C, Gd203, CdO and Er203 were chosen for further study. Then, the MCNP and Origen2 coupling program were employed to optimize the BP loading using single fuel assembly calculations. Finally, the keff, which changes with burn-up time, was used as optimization parameter to attain the optimal r |
