Technical Field
[0001] The invention mainly relates to the technical field of nuclear power reactors, and in particular to a pressurized water reactor rupture accident analysis method based on ATF fuel. Background Art
[0002] Accident Tolerant Fuel (ATF) is a new generation of fuel system developed to improve the ability of fuel elements to withstand severe accidents. Compared with existing nuclear fuels, this new fuel system can withstand severe accident conditions for a longer period of time while maintaining or improving its performance under normal operating conditions. The material properties of accident-tolerant fuel can slow down the deterioration of the situation, buy more precious time for people to take emergency measures, and greatly reduce the risk of radioactive materials breaking through safety barriers and leaking into the environment.
[0003] The new fuel is different from the existing nuclear fuel in terms of mechanism phenomena and physical property models. The existing accident analysis methods will no longer be applicable, and the acceptance of breach accidents may also change accordingly. However, there is currently no breach accident analysis method for ATF fuel. Summary of the invention

[0023] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the following is a brief introduction to the drawings required for the description of the embodiments. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some examples or embodiments of the present application. For ordinary technicians in this field, the present application can also be applied to other similar scenarios based on these drawings without creative work. Unless it is obvious from the language environment or otherwise explained, the same reference numerals in the figures represent the same structure or operation.
[0024] The most widely used fuel in pressurized water reactors at present is zirconium alloy cladding and ceramic uranium dioxide pellets. The acceptance criteria used in breach accident analysis are based on this scheme. There are three quantitative indicators directly related to the fuel properties, including maximum cladding temperature (PCT), maximum local oxidation amount (LMO) and global oxidation amount (CMO).
[0025] In order to improve the accident resistance of nuclear fuel, one solution is to prepare a high-temperature oxidation-resistant coating on the surface of the existing zirconium alloy cladding by using surface modification technology to improve the performance of the zirconium alloy cladding. Another solution is to completely change the fuel material, such as using a new silicon carbide composite cladding material that is resistant to high temperatures, corrosion, and deformation. Regardless of which solution is adopted, the new fuel must be different from the existing fuel in terms of mechanism phenomena and physical property models. After changing the fuel, the existing accident analysis method will no longer be applicable, and the acceptance of breach accidents may also change accordingly. However, there is currently no breach accident analysis method that can cope with fuel changes.
[0026] In response to the above problems, the present application provides a pressurized water reactor rupture accident analysis method based on ATF fuel. The method is based on the ATF scheme, identifies ATF mechanism phenomena and key models, evaluates the accident analysis procedures and improves them as needed, and also proposes analysis methods for three situations: single rod / single component entry, mixed core, and full core. It can carry out qualitative and quantitative evaluation of rupture accidents in nuclear power plants that adopt the ATF scheme.
[0027] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for analyzing a pressurized water reactor breach accident based on ATF fuel according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the ATF fuel-based pressurized water reactor breach accident analysis method 100 includes:
[0028] Step S1: Check the ATF scheme parameter requirement table to identify the important fuel parameters required in accident analysis.
[0029] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 Flow chart of step S1 in an embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the important fuel parameters needed for accident analysis include:
[0030] Step S11: Through the Phenomena Identification and Ranking Table (PIRT), combined with engineering experience, positively identify the important fuel parameters required in accident analysis.
[0031] Compared with the original method of conservatively analyzing most phenomena and components, the PIRT method lists the phenomena of a certain accident condition of a power plant according to different accident stages and components, and divides the phenomena into low, medium, high or other numerical quantitative levels according to their importance, focusing on analyzing more important events and phenomena, thereby improving the efficiency of accident analysis and procedure verification.
[0032] Step S12: Reversely identify the important fuel parameters required for accident analysis through acceptance criteria identification.
[0033] Optionally, important fuel parameters include, but are not limited to: ATF fuel mechanism model, ATF fuel physical property model, ATF fuel geometric dimensions, ATF fuel flow and heat transfer characteristics, acceptance criteria used in accident analysis, and engineering factors.
[0034] Step S2: Based on the important parameters of the fuel, conduct research on the mechanism phenomena and key models of the ATF fuel to identify the differences between the ATF fuel and existing nuclear fuels.
[0035] Optionally, the existing nuclear fuel is zirconium alloy clad ceramic uranium fuel.
[0036] Optionally, the mechanism phenomena include but are not limited to:
[0037] Oxidation and corrosion of the cladding, including the reaction of the cladding with high-temperature water and steam;
[0038] Cladding deformation phenomena, including thermal expansion, creep, and bursting;
[0039] Cladding quenching phenomenon;
[0040] Pellet deformation phenomena, including cracking, sintering, and repositioning;
[0041] The cladding failure model and judgment method, which corresponds to the acceptance criteria of ATF under breach accidents.
[0042] Optionally, key models include but are not limited to: a fuel mechanism model, a fuel thermal conductivity model, and a fuel deformation model.
[0043] Step S3: Evaluate the applicability of the first accident analysis procedure based on the distinguishing points.
[0044] Optionally, the key models are divided into three types according to the difference points: models that are applicable to existing fuel models, models that are significantly different from existing fuel models but can be evaluated in conservative aspects and are conservatively encapsulated by the original model, and models that are significantly different from existing fuel models and cannot evaluate conservative directions or cannot be conservatively encapsulated. The first two models are qualitatively demonstrated to have no effect on the loss of coolant accident (LOCA) or can be conservatively encapsulated, and only the third model is quantitatively analyzed. The loss of coolant accident is a typical accident in the safety analysis of nuclear power plants, and different breach locations and breach sizes will directly affect the handling and consequences of the accident.
[0045] According to the identified model, the applicability of the existing accident analysis program is evaluated. This step requires identifying the fuel-related model of the breach analysis program, and also considering the scope of application and uncertainty of the model. It should be noted that due to the differences in the programming methods of different programs, program calculation errors often occur. Therefore, the model may be modified during the program debugging process. At this time, it cannot be directly judged that the program model is not applicable, but the source of the program model data should be clarified, and then the difference between the program prototype fuel and the new fuel model parameters should be compared to determine whether the program model is conservative and whether it can be applied.
[0046] Figure 3 yes Figure 1 Flow chart of step S3 in an embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, the applicability evaluation of the first accident analysis procedure (existing accident analysis procedure) based on the distinguishing points includes:
[0047] Step S31: whether the program can simulate the key fuel phenomenon;
[0048] Step S32: whether the program contains a model corresponding to the key fuel phenomenon;
[0049] Step S33: Whether the fuel model used by the program is accurate, and whether the applicable range of temperature and pressure parameters meets the range of ATF fuel in accident analysis.
[0050] Step S4: If it is not applicable, the fuel model in the first accident analysis program is improved to obtain a second accident analysis program applicable to AFT fuel.
[0051] Improve the inapplicable fuel model in the accident analysis program identified in step S3, conduct secondary development of the program, and verify the program capability through single test and overall test.
[0052] Figure 4 yes Figure 1 Flow chart of step S4 in an embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, the method for improving the fuel model in the first accident analysis program includes:
[0053] Step S41: Evaluate the conservatism of the model in the first accident analysis program. Model conservatism means that applying the model will lead to worse consequences in accident analysis. The existing program models are divided into conservative and non-conservative categories, and the non-conservative models are improved.
[0054] Step S42: Supplement the missing mechanism model.
[0055] Step S5: Use the second accident analysis program to analyze the typical breach accident to verify whether the important phenomena of step S1 and step S2 are reflected. If so, go to step S6, otherwise go to step S1.
[0056] Typical breach accidents should include the most challenging accidents for fuel and fully reflect fuel phenomena. An example is a large breach cold end double-end fracture accident.
[0057] In other words, analyze typical breach accidents to verify whether the important phenomena in steps S1 and S2 are reflected. If not, re-carry out important parameter identification and phenomenon analysis.
[0058] Step S6: using the second accident analysis program to perform a breach accident analysis on the ATF fuel-based pressurized water reactor.
[0059] Figure 5 yes Figure 1 Flow chart of step S6 in an embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, step S6 includes:
[0060] Step S61: Determine the fuel type of the ATF fuel, the fuel types include ATF single component in-core, ATF mixed core and ATF full core.
[0061] Step S62: When the fuel type of the ATF fuel is ATF single component loading, qualitatively evaluate the maximum cladding temperature and the maximum local oxidation amount.
[0062] Since the ATF single component is small in size, it will not have much impact on the overall state of the core. In addition, the ATF single component is generally placed in a low-power area with a low temperature, so a qualitative evaluation is recommended.
[0063] Step S63: When the fuel type of the ATF fuel is ATF full core, the second accident analysis program adopts the full core flow channel correction condition to carry out the maximum cladding temperature and the maximum local oxidation amount assessment.
[0064] Assuming that all components in the core are replaced with new components (ATF fuel), only the fuel model of the analysis program needs to be changed, and no additional modeling requirements are generated. This is a simpler analysis method compared to the hybrid core.
[0065] Step S64: When the fuel type of the ATF fuel is an ATF hybrid core, determine whether the ATF hybrid core is a starved component. If yes, proceed to step S65: If not, go to step S63.
[0066] Step S65: The second accident analysis program only modifies the thermal component node resistance and conducts the maximum cladding temperature and maximum local oxidation assessment.
[0067] ATF hybrid core refers to a core in which part of the components are replaced with new components (ATF fuel). In a hybrid core, differences in geometric parameters, grid positions, local resistance coefficients, and other differences in fuel assemblies can lead to core flow redistribution. The breach analysis focuses on the impact of the reduction in mass flow rate in the hot channel on the peak temperature (PCT) of the fuel cladding. This method first determines in which fuel assembly the minimum coolant flow occurs through analysis of the outer diameter of the fuel rod and the grid, and defines this assembly as a "starved assembly". Due to the low flow rate and lack of sufficient cooling, the PCT will be higher than expected in an accident. If the core is exposed, the oxidation amount will also be higher. Therefore, the hot assembly can be set as the fuel assembly during the accident analysis process, and the mutual influence between different assemblies can be simulated by modifying the hot channel resistance, and conservative results can be calculated.
[0068] Optionally, the breach accident analysis of the ATF fuel-based pressurized water reactor also includes: modifying the full core resistance condition through a second accident analysis procedure and conducting a global oxidation assessment.
[0069] Compared with the existing breach accident analysis methods, the present invention is based on the ATF scheme, identifies the ATF mechanism phenomenon and key models, improves the accident analysis procedure, and conducts qualitative and quantitative evaluation on breach accidents in nuclear power plants using the ATF scheme.
