Problems solved by technology

Can fast neutron cores perform fast-thermal neutron coupled nuclear reactions? Can the moderator be isolated from the fast neutron core? Is it possible to unbind the moderator and coolant functions? Can a moderator be used outside the core to improve the nuclear reaction efficiency of a fast reactor? Is it possible to reduce the physical conditions inside the nuclear reactor vessel and implement on-line extraction of breeding fuel? So far, there is no relevant literature on the use of moderators in fast reactors or fast-thermal neutron coupled nuclear reactors with fast neutron cores as the main body

Embodiment 1

[0188] Embodiment 1: Implementation method of fast reactor type coupled nuclear reaction

[0189] Such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 Shown:

[0190] The main vessel of the reactor is divided into a fission pool 201 and a moderator pool 301 which are completely isolated from each other. A core 250 is set in the fission pool. The core has the characteristics of a fast neutron core, and the moderator pool 301 has a built-in moderator.

[0191] The fission cell 201 and the moderation cell 301 are inlaid or combined in a movable manner, so that the structure and function of the two are coupled, and an insulating layer is set between the fission cell 201 and the moderation cell 301 to block the heat exchange between the two, so that the slow The fission pool 301 can be controlled in a state close to normal temperature and pressure; the moderator is separated from the main coolant, and the two are no longer bound in structure and function. There is no moderator in the fission pool 20...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a fast reactor type coupling nuclear reaction implementation method and a nuclear reactor for same. The main contents comprise: a fast reactor type coupling nuclear reaction implementation method, a reactor modular design approach, a fast reactor type coupling nuclear reactor, a reactor core, a fuel element, a nuclear control system, and a proliferation fuel system. The fast reactor type coupling nuclear reactor mainly combusts thorium and nuclear waste, and has inherent security. The reactor main container is composed of a fission pool and a moderating pool that are completely isolated from each other but coupling to each other. A primary coolant is separated from a moderator. A thermal insulation layer is disposed between the fission pool and the moderating pool so that both can perform neutron exchange but heat exchange is blocked. Fast neutrons produced by the fission pool and moderated neutrons reflected by the moderating pool may enable the reactor core to simultaneously perform coupling nuclear reaction of the two types of neutrons. The moderating pool may be provided with the nuclear control system, and ex-core coupling core control may be implemented. The moderating pool is provided with a thorium purification fuel system, and on-line extraction of the purification fuel can be performed, and separation of nuclide is safe and simple, thereby providing a solution to the technical bottleneck of "thorium reactor".

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to nuclear fission reactors and methods of operation thereof. Background technique [0002] There are two groups of U-238 / Pu-239 and Th-232 / U-233 known to be available on the earth for heavy nuclear fission nuclide conversion combinations, and the corresponding main nuclear materials are: the former corresponds to natural uranium, nuclear waste (including depleted uranium), which corresponds to thorium. In addition to nuclear fusion energy, it is known that the energy contained in thorium and uranium on the earth is much greater than the sum of other mineral energy reserves, of which thorium reserves are 4 times larger than uranium. If fast reactors are used, the utilization rate of nuclear fuel can be increased to 60-70%. Optimistic estimates believe that the globally available thorium and uranium resources can maintain all the energy needs of human beings for more than 20,000 years. However, the fuel utilization rate o...
