Abstract

The invention discloses a method for transmutation of transuranium elements in a liquid molten salt reactor. The liquid molten salt reactor is a graphite-moderated channel-type liquid molten salt reactor, and graphite moderator components containing channels are arranged inside the reactor core. The method The method comprises the following steps: (1) filling the channel of the graphite moderator component with a molten salt composed of a transuranic element fluorine salt and a base salt, the initial molar percentage of the transuranic element fluorine salt in the molten salt being 0.01 % to 0.1%, the volume ratio of the molten salt to the graphite moderator component is 5% to 40%; (2) adding the transuranic element fluorine salt online during operation. The method is simple and feasible, and achieves a higher transmutation rate of transuranic elements.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of nuclear reactor engineering design, in particular to a method for transmutation of transuranic elements in a liquid molten salt reactor. Background technique [0002] The current commercial reactor fuel cycle adopts the "one-off" circulation method and solid-state fuel assemblies. The fuel utilization rate is low, and the high content of highly radioactive transuranium elements (TRU) in the spent fuel is a major problem facing the development of nuclear energy. Recycling transuranic elements is one of the effective ways to reduce the current nuclear waste storage and realize the sustainable development of nuclear energy. At present, transuranic elements are mainly recycled and utilized in solid-state reactors, but solid-state reactors need to prepare transuranic elements into solid fuel elements, which is technically difficult and economically costly, and the amount of transuranium elements that can be transmuted i...
