Liquid fuel heat pipe reactor

Abstract

The invention provides a liquid fuel heat pipe reactor, belongs to the field of nuclear engineering and nuclear technologies, and particularly relates to a liquid fuel heat pipe reactor. The problemsthat a fuel layer of a solid reactor core is deformed, and local heating is not uniform at high temperature are solved. The liquid fuel heat pipe reactor comprises a heat pipe, a fuel medium and a reactor core. The novel heat pipe reactor is mainly provided and used for generating heat energy, and then the heat energy is converted into electric energy or kinetic energy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of nuclear engineering and nuclear technology, in particular to a liquid fuel heat pipe reactor. Background technique [0002] The heat pipe stack is the latest reactor stack type, which is composed of heat pipes and graphite or heat pipes and fuel rods inserted in graphite. Graphite acts as a neutron moderator, and fission occurs in the fuel layer, generating heat that is transferred to the heat pipe. The liquid metal in the heat pipe evaporates and moves to the condensation section, transfers heat, condenses into a liquid state, and then flows back to the reactor to start a new cycle. However, the solid core has problems such as deformation of the fuel layer at high temperature and uneven local heating. Contents of the invention [0003] In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the present invention proposes a liquid fuel heat pipe reactor. [0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention ado...
