Embodiment 1

[0032] like Figure 1 to Figure 5 As shown, the multi-type fuel assembly mixed loading metal cooling reactor, the core structure of the reactor is an integral honeycomb regular hexagonal assembly channel, which contains 253 hexagonal channels, including 132 internal fuel assembly channels 6 (B Class A channels), 102 external fuel assembly channels 5 (Class A channels), 19 control rod assembly channels 7, the coolant flow rate of the external fuel assembly channels 5 (Class A channels) is about ), which is relatively low. The control rod assembly channel 7 is in the shape of "outer square inner circle", the inner diameter is 135mm, and the center-to-center distance between adjacent hexagonal channels is 139mm. The inner fuel assembly channel 6, the outer fuel assembly The wall thicknesses of channel 5 and channel 7 of the control rod assembly are both 2.0 mm. The internal fuel assembly passage 6, the external fuel assembly passage 5, and the control rod assembly passage 7 are ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a multi-type fuel assembly mixed-loaded metal cooling reactor and a management method. The core structure of the reactor is an integral honeycomb-shaped regular hexagonal assembly channel, and the channel includes an internal fuel assembly channel, an external fuel assembly channel, and a control system. The rod assembly passage, the internal fuel assembly passage, the external fuel assembly passage, and the control rod assembly passage are provided with multiple cartridges of fuel assemblies in the axial direction, the external fuel assembly passage is arranged on the periphery of the internal fuel assembly passage, and the control rod assembly The channel is arranged crosswise with the internal fuel assembly channel, and the upper and lower ends of the internal fuel assembly channel are arranged with low-cost natural uranium fuel assemblies, and the middle is arranged with enriched uranium fuel assemblies. The invention solves the problems of large loading capacity, high enrichment degree and low utilization rate of the existing metal-cooled reactor core fuel.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nuclear reactors, in particular to a multi-type fuel assembly mixed loading metal cooling reactor and a management method. Background technique [0002] The liquid metal cooling reactor adopts a closed fuel cycle. It has good development potential, high safety and economy in nuclear waste transmutation and nuclear fuel multiplication. It belongs to the IV generation advanced nuclear energy system. At present, relatively complete liquid metal cooled fast reactor solutions include: American sodium-cooled fast reactor SMFR, Japanese sodium-cooled fast reactor JSFR, Russian sodium-cooled fast reactor BN600, Chinese sodium-cooled fast reactor CFR600, Russian lead-based fast reactor SVBR-75 / 100. European lead-cooled fast reactor ELSY, etc. Since the liquid metal reactor uses strong neutron-absorbing stainless steel as the cladding material and fast neutron energy spectrum, the core requires a large amount of ...
