Problems solved by technology

Boron carbide has the advantages of high neutron capture cross-section, wide absorption energy spectrum, no secondary radiation pollution, and low price, but the density of boron carbide pellets is low. The density is lower than that of liquid heavy metal coolant, so that when this shielding layer assembly is applied in a liquid heavy metal coolant reactor, the buoyancy of the shielding layer assembly is greater than its own gravity, which brings technical difficulties to the installation, fixing and replacement of the shielding layer assembly, and also Brings uncertainty to reactor safety

Abstract

The invention provides a reactor shielding layer component with high density and a large neutron-absorption cross section, which comprises five parts: an operation head, an outer sleeve, a neutron shielding block, a connecting rod and a lower pipe foot. According to the invention, the materials with high density and large neutron-absorption cross section like metal hafnium and tungsten are used as neutron-absorption shielding materials, so as to make the buoyancy of the shielding layer component applied in the liquid-state heavy metal coolant reactors smaller than self-gravity, thus the installation, the fixation and the replacement are convenient. The reactor shielding layer component with high density and the large neutron-absorption cross section provided herein is suitable for liquid-state heavy metal coolant reactors with coolant provided with high density.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a reactor shield assembly with high density and large neutron absorption section, which is suitable for reactors with relatively high coolant density and belongs to the field of nuclear engineering. Background technique [0002] The liquid heavy metal coolant reactor is a type of fast neutron reactor firstly developed and successfully applied to nuclear submarines in Russia. Due to its inherent safety features, it was recommended as the sixth-generation nuclear reactor at the Fourth Generation Nuclear Reactor International Symposium held in Tokyo, Japan in 2002. It is one of the main concept reactor systems of Generation IV nuclear power plants. Accelerator-driven subcritical system is an ideal nuclear waste transmutation device. Liquid heavy metal coolant is the main candidate material for accelerator-driven subcritical reactor coolant due to its good neutronic characteristics, safety characteristics and heat transfer capabili...
