Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of material radiation damage calculation and nuclear reaction theory analysis, in particular to a full-energy-spectrum neutron radiation damage accurate simulation system and an algorithm thereof. Background technique [0002] Fermi once pointed out that "the success or failure of nuclear technology will strongly depend on the behavior of materials under the strong radiation field in the reactor". In the early days, the structure, hydrogenation and perforation of the zirconium alloy cladding caused a large amount of radioactive leakage, which affected the progress of the development of nuclear power plants. In the 1970s, the irradiation density of uranium dioxide fuel caused the bending and damage of fuel rods, which once stopped the operation of nuclear power plants. Until now, fuel rod breakage caused by the interaction between pellets and cladding affects the economics and safety of nuclear power plants, and this...

Problems solved by technology

However, the following problems exist in the research of radiation damage experiments on materials: high operating costs and high costs; it is difficult to find real operating radiation environments, such as fusion reactors, ADS, etc.; there are large deviations in alternative radiation experiments, so reliable values ​​are used It is particularly important to theoretically calculate the radiation damage and radiation effects of reactor neutrons by means of simulation calculations

However, these programs still have problems such as the limited irradiation environment supported, and the inability to simulate the damage calculation of high-energy irradiation above 20 MeV.

Especially for advanced nuclear energy systems such as accelerator-driven subcritical reactor ADS, the upper limit of neutron energy is as high as GeV, and the radiation damage of structural materials caused by neutrons above 20 MeV is also more serious. The calculation of high-energy radiation damage above 20 MeV will affect the evaluation accuracy of the design life of ADS stack structural materials
