Problems solved by technology

[0002] The heat pipe reactor is currently a reactor with good prospects for space nuclear power applications. The passive heat conduction of nuclear fuel with heat pipes is a hot spot in foreign space nuclear power research. The existing nuclear fuel is UO 2 Mainly, the thermal conductivity is low, which is the bottleneck restricting the increase of power density and the reduction of volume and weight of the reactor. The share of nuclear fuel is reduced, which is not conducive to the small and lightweight design of the reactor

Abstract

The invention relates to a high-efficiency heat-conducting heat pipe reactor fuel element. The fuel element includes nuclear fuel, a cladding tube, a heat pipe and a heat-conducting ring. The cladding tube includes an inner wall and an outer wall sheathed. The ring is set outside the heat pipe and between the heat pipe and the inner wall; there are several axial heat conduction plates and some radial heat conduction plates between the inner wall and the outer wall of the cladding tube, and the axial guide plates and radial guide plates guide the cladding tube It is divided into several fuel areas for filling the nuclear fuel, and stress relief grooves are opened on the axial guide plate. In the high-efficiency heat-conducting heat pipe reactor fuel element of the present invention, the nuclear fuel is placed inside the cladding tube, and the nuclear heat generated during operation is transferred to the heat pipe through the cladding tube wall; axial and radial heat conduction plates are arranged in the cladding tube to assist in high-efficiency heat conduction The heat pipe is arranged at the center of the fuel element to export the core heat out of the stack; the heat conduction ring is arranged between the heat pipe and the cladding tube to realize the contact heat transfer between the heat pipe and the cladding.
