AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In fast neutron reactors, changes in material temperature will cause large deformations in the core, and reactor components will bend. At this time, using a single reactivity feedback coefficient and equivalent temperature cannot simulate the reactivity feedback caused by component bending. , so it is necessary to combine the mechanical model to accurately analyze the deformation and reactivity feedback at different positions and different nodes of the reactor during the process; at the same time, the control rod drive mechanism located outside the reactor will also expand when heated, causing the control rods to be in the core after expansion. The rod position becomes smaller and inserted deeper, which also brings reactive introduction

Therefore, the model combined with the "direct method" and the single-channel model cannot accurately consider the spatial distribution of the reactivity feedback, and can only obtain the changes in fuel temperature, coolant density, axial geometric expansion of the core, and radial geometric expansion of the core.
