Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of nuclear power, and particularly relates to a precise calculation method and an automatic calculation system for lifting upper limit of a reactor control rod bank for a third-generation pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant. BACKGROUND
[0002] The movement of the control rod bank in the reactor core of the pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant follows certain lifting upper limit and operating lower limit requirements. The operating limit value management requirements of the control rod bank are different under different burnup, different power and different boron concentration conditions.
[0003] The reactor control rod bank of the third-generation pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant is divided into three types: axial power distribution control rod bank (AO rod bank, AO: Axial Operator), stop control rod bank (S rod bank, S: Stop) and temperature and power control rod bank (M rod bank).
[0004] The control rod bank moves in the area between the bottom of the reactor core and the top of the reactor core, and is 0 steps at the bottom of the reactor core and 264 steps at the top of the reactor core. The control rod bank step length is 264 steps, and the length of the bottom of the reactor core and the top of the reactor core is divided by 264 to obtain the step length of each step of the control rod bank.
[0005] The operating lower limit of the control rod bank only changes with the change of the power. The current power is expressed by percentage, and the operating lower limit of the control rod bank is as follows:
[0006] The axial power distribution control rod bank (AO rod bank, Axial Operator) has an operating lower limit of 150 steps in the range of 0% to 50% power, and an operating lower limit of (150+(current power x 100-50)) steps in the range of 50% to 100% power.
[0007] The stop control rod bank (S rod bank, Stop) has an operating lower limit of 264 steps in the range of 0% to 100% power.
[0008] The temperature and power control rod bank (also known as the mechanical rod bank, M rod bank, Mechnics) has an operating lower limit of 264 steps for the M2 sub-rod bank in the range of 0% to 100% power, an operating lower limit of (15+2x current power x 100) steps for the M1 sub-rod bank, and an operating lower limit of 0 steps for the MA, MB, MC and MD sub-rod banks.
[0009] Therefore, the operation lower limit of the control rod bank is calculated simply and only affected by the power, not by other factors. The operation lower limit of the control rod bank can be displayed in real time on the electronic system of the nuclear power plant.
[0010] Currently, the upper limit of the control rod bank in the nuclear power plant is controlled according to the report on the control rod bank upper limit value issued by the nuclear design unit (design institute). However, the report only displays the maximum boron concentration table corresponding to the predicted control rod bank upper limit under 8 typical burnups (a single table contains 11 typical powers and 18 typical total rod position conditions). Respectively as follows: 500MWd / tU (megawatt day per ton of uranium) maximum boron concentration value table corresponding to the predicted control rod bank upper limit;
[0011] 1000MWd / tU (megawatt day per ton of uranium) maximum boron concentration value table corresponding to the predicted control rod bank upper limit;
[0012] 2000MWd / tU (megawatt day per ton of uranium) maximum boron concentration value table corresponding to the predicted control rod bank upper limit;
[0013] 3000MWd / tU (megawatt day per ton of uranium) maximum boron concentration value table corresponding to the predicted control rod bank upper limit;
[0014] 4000MWd / tU (megawatt day per ton of uranium) maximum boron concentration value table corresponding to the predicted control rod bank upper limit;
[0015] 5000MWd / tU (megawatt day per ton of uranium) maximum boron concentration value table corresponding to the predicted control rod bank upper limit;
[0016] 6000MWd / tU (megawatt day per ton of uranium) maximum boron concentration value table corresponding to the predicted control rod bank upper limit;
[0017] 7000MWd / tU (megawatt day per ton of uranium) maximum boron concentration value table corresponding to the predicted control rod bank upper limit.
[0018] The maximum boron concentration value table corresponding to the predicted control rod group lifting upper limit under the eight typical burnups considers the maximum boron concentration value (RWL: Rod Without Limit) corresponding to the predicted control rod group lifting upper limit under the conditions of typical 11 powers and typical 18 total rod positions (MPI, Mechnics rods Position Index), and the unit is ppm (parts per million). The control rod group lifting upper limit is not displayed, and the nuclear power plant operator manually converts the maximum boron concentration corresponding to the predicted control rod group lifting upper limit into the control rod group lifting upper limit (rod position value). The manual calculation takes about 0.5 hours and is prone to calculation errors, which is inconvenient for the nuclear power plant operator to control the unit.
[0019] In addition, although the relevant prediction calculation according to the control rod lifting limit value report issued by the nuclear design unit (design institute) has approached the actual reactor operation condition, the difference between the prediction calculation and the actual reactor operation condition will affect the control rod group lifting upper limit. At present, the nuclear power plant operator cannot obtain the control rod lifting upper limit under the actual operation condition through the related report issued by the nuclear design unit (design institute).
[0020] In another aspect, the related electronic system of the current nuclear power plant does not have a display function of the control rod lifting upper limit.
[0021] In summary, it is a current urgent problem to provide a method for accurately calculating the reactor control rod group lifting upper limit under the conditions of any burnup, any power, and any boron concentration, and applying it to the actual situation and increasing the display function of the control rod lifting upper limit of the subsystem.
