Abstract

The invention discloses a heat neutron spectrum hybrid-positioning multi-flow-region fuel assembly. The heat neutron spectrum hybrid-positioning multi-flow-region fuel assembly comprises a heat-insulating encircling cylinder, a highly heat-insulating assembly case and an assembly grillwork, wherein the highly heat-insulating assembly case and the assembly grillwork radially sleeve the heat-insulating encircling cylinder in sequence. The interior of the heat-insulating encircling cylinder is an internal flow region, a middle flow region is arranged between the heat-insulating encircling cylinder and the highly heat-insulating assembly case, and an external flow region is arranged between the highly heat-insulating assembly case and the assembly grillwork. Coolant flows from top to bottom in the internal flow region, flows from bottom to top in the middle flow region and flows from top to bottom in an external flow region. The invention further discloses a supercritical water reactor utilizing the heat neutron spectrum hybrid-positioning multi-flow-region fuel assembly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nuclear reactors, in particular to a thermal neutron spectrum mixed positioning multi-flow region fuel assembly and a supercritical water-cooled reactor. Background technique [0002] Supercritical water-cooled reactor (SCWR) is one of the six most promising nuclear energy systems selected by the Generation IV Nuclear Energy International Forum. SCWR nuclear power unit has outstanding advantages such as high thermal efficiency and simplified system. In order to solve the problems of insufficient neutron moderation in SCWR, large temperature difference between the core inlet and outlet, and flow instability, the "water rod" design was introduced in the component design, and the multi-flow flow scheme was adopted for the coolant in the core design. Especially for thermal neutron spectrum supercritical water-cooled reactors, in order to achieve sufficient and uniform moderation of fuel elements, the "water ...
