Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of reactor physics technology, and in particular to a method and device for optimizing the core quadrant power tilt of a reactor. Background Art
[0002] After a period of operation, a nuclear reactor may no longer be able to provide sufficient fission nuclides due to fuel consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to shut down the reactor to remove some old assemblies and replace them with new ones. Loading fuel assemblies places high demands on the positioning of the new and old assemblies, and a new loading plan must be determined after carefully considering various issues and conditions.
[0003] Typically, a nuclear reactor core adopts a symmetrical design, and theoretical calculations indicate that the power distribution in each quadrant should be symmetrical.

[0066] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.
[0067] After a period of operation, a nuclear reactor may no longer be able to provide sufficient fission nuclides due to fuel consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to shut down the reactor to remove some old assemblies and replace them with new ones. Loading fuel assemblies places high demands on the positioning of the new and old assemblies, and a new loading plan must be determined after carefully considering various issues and conditions.
[0068] Core power tilt (TILT) refers to the asymmetry of power between quadrants during core operation. It is a widespread phenomenon in pressurized water reactor cores and a long-standing challenge in core operation and fuel management. The factors causing TILT are numerous and complex, involving the interplay of core neutronics, thermal engineering, and fuel physics, making it difficult to pinpoint its root cause in practical engineering. Determining the current core power tilt state primarily relies on regular detector measurements.
[0069] Core quadrant power tilt (dimensionless):
[0070]
[0071] Where Pi (i = 1, 2, 3, 4) represents the average power level in each quadrant; P (avg) represents the average power level of the entire reactor; that is, the core TILT is the ratio of the average power of the largest quadrant to the average power level of the entire reactor.
[0072] Core quadrant power tilt refers to an asymmetric power level across the core's quadrants, with some areas exhibiting higher power levels. Typically, a core is designed symmetrically, and theoretical calculations indicate a symmetrical power distribution across the quadrants. However, due to the combined influence of various uncertainties, actual power levels inevitably deviate from theoretical calculations during core operation, leading to quadrant power tilt. This refers to a systematic, regional deviation between theoretically calculated and actual core power.
[0073] After the core is started, it is difficult to carry out effective control of the power tilt state. Once the value exceeds the limit, it will restrict the safety and economy of the core operation. Therefore, the control of power tilt mainly relies on the adjustment of the loading scheme in the refueling design stage (before the core is started). In the existing technology, the consideration of power tilt in the refueling design stage is mainly based on historical experience. By consciously and qualitatively evaluating the possible power tilt state, and adjusting the core loading plan, this possible trend is deliberately suppressed. Since it is impossible to accurately and quantitatively judge the power tilt phenomenon of the core before the core is started, it is difficult to accurately obtain the core loading plan of the reactor where the power tilt phenomenon does not occur.
[0074] The reactor core quadrant power tilt optimization method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 1 In the application environment shown. Among them, the terminal 102 communicates with the server 104 through the network. The data storage system can store the data that the server 104 needs to process. The data storage system can be integrated on the server 104, or it can be placed on the cloud or other network servers. By obtaining the theoretical power level and the measured power level of each component of the reactor under the historical cycle, as well as the target water gap distribution; the core quadrant power tilt optimization of the core loading scheme of the reactor is implemented according to the target water gap distribution to obtain the target loading scheme. Among them, the terminal 102 can be but is not limited to various personal computers, laptops, smart phones, tablets, Internet of Things devices and portable wearable devices. The Internet of Things devices can be smart speakers, smart TVs, smart air conditioners, smart car-mounted devices, etc. Portable wearable devices can be smart watches, smart bracelets, head-mounted devices, etc. The server 104 can be implemented with an independent server or a server cluster consisting of multiple servers.
[0075] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a reactor core quadrant power tilt optimization method is provided, and the method is applied to Figure 1 Taking the server 104 in the example as an example, the following steps are included:
[0076] S201, obtaining the theoretical power level and the measured power level of each component of the reactor under historical cycles.
[0077] It should be noted that when it is necessary to obtain the theoretical power level and measured power level of each component of the reactor under historical cycles, the reactor can be optimized for fuel consumption to prevent abnormal power levels caused by fuel consumption; then, the theoretical power level and measured power level after fuel consumption optimization can be statistically analyzed.
[0078] S202: Determine a target water gap distribution according to the theoretical power level and the measured power level.
[0079] It should be noted that in a pressurized water reactor, the gaps between fuel assemblies are filled with water. Therefore, the water gap distribution can effectively reflect the water filling conditions between fuel assemblies. Among them, the target water gap distribution can be determined by the water gap conditions of a pre-constructed core theoretical model.
[0080] Furthermore, the water gap distribution is used as the sole parameter to measure the deviation between the theoretical power level and the measured power level (separation effect). Therefore, the water gap distribution of the theoretical core model is used to change the current theoretical power level to align it with the measured power level. The target water gap distribution is then used as the water gap distribution of the theoretical core model when the theoretical and measured power levels are aligned.
[0081] S203 , predicting the core quadrant power tilt of the core loading scheme of the reactor according to the target water gap distribution.
[0082] It should be noted that when it is necessary to predict the core quadrant power tilt of the core loading scheme of the reactor, the target water gap distribution can be applied to the core loading scheme of the reactor, and then, by applying the core loading scheme of the target water gap distribution, the core quadrant power tilt of the core loading scheme can be predicted.
[0083] In one embodiment of the present application, when it is necessary to apply the target water gap distribution to the core loading scheme of the reactor, it can be pre-defaulted that the in-core environmental factors corresponding to the target water gap distribution are the same as the in-core environmental factors corresponding to the core loading scheme; therefore, the initial water gap distribution of the core loading scheme can be directly adjusted to make the initial water gap distribution of the core loading scheme the same as the target water gap distribution, thereby realizing the application of the target water gap distribution to the core loading scheme of the reactor.
[0084] In another embodiment of the present application, since the target water gap distribution is based on the theoretical power level and the measured power level of each component under the historical cycle, the in-pile environmental factors corresponding to the target water gap distribution are the in-pile environmental factors under the historical cycle, and the in-pile environmental factors corresponding to the core loading scheme are the in-pile environmental factors of the next cycle. Therefore, the target water gap distribution can be adaptively adjusted based on the difference between the in-pile environmental factors of the historical cycle and the in-pile environmental factors of the next cycle to ensure that the adjusted target water gap distribution can be applicable to the in-pile environmental factors of the next cycle, and then the initial water gap distribution of the core loading scheme is distributed and adjusted so that the initial water gap distribution of the core loading scheme is the same as the adjusted target water gap distribution, thereby realizing the application of the target water gap distribution to the core loading scheme of the reactor.
[0085] In summary, there are many methods for applying the target water gap distribution in the core loading scheme, and the application and inheritance form of the target water gap distribution are not limited here.
[0086] As an example, the water gap distribution of a core loading scheme can be shown in the following table, where the core loading scheme includes ten components:
[0087]
[0088]
[0089] S204 , optimizing the core quadrant power tilt of the core loading plan according to the core quadrant power tilt amount to obtain a target loading plan.
[0090] It should be noted that when it is necessary to optimize the core quadrant power tilt of the reactor core loading plan according to the core quadrant power tilt amount to obtain a target loading plan, it may include the following contents: verifying the size relationship between the core quadrant power tilt amount and the preset core quadrant power tilt amount threshold; if the core quadrant power tilt amount is less than the core quadrant power tilt amount threshold, then the core loading plan is used as the target loading plan; if the core quadrant power tilt amount is not less than the core quadrant power tilt amount threshold, then the core quadrant power tilt of the reactor core loading plan is optimized by adjusting the arrangement position of the fuel assembly to obtain a target loading plan.
[0091] Among them, the core quadrant power tilt threshold can be selected based on the unit operation experience, and the typical values are 1.003, 1.005, 1.008, and 1.010.
[0092] The above-mentioned reactor core quadrant power tilt optimization method obtains the theoretical power level and measured power level of each component of the reactor under the historical cycle, as well as the target water gap distribution; realizes the core quadrant power tilt optimization of the reactor core loading plan according to the target water gap distribution, and obtains the target loading plan. According to the above content, it can be seen that in the process of determining the target loading plan, the present application determines the target water gap distribution by the deviation level of the theoretical power and the measured power of the historical cycle; then, according to the predicted quadrant power tilt state after the start of the previous cycle and the target water gap distribution, quantitatively predicts the quadrant power tilt state after the start of the next cycle; and optimizes the unit operation state by adjusting the core loading plan, realizes the early quantitative prediction and targeted suppression of the quadrant power tilt, alleviates the quadrant power tilt problem during the operation of the unit, and effectively suppresses the power tilt phenomenon of the reactor.
[0093] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown in FIG, when it is necessary to predict the core quadrant power tilt of the core loading scheme of the reactor according to the target water gap distribution, the following contents may be included:
[0094] S301 , applying a target water gap distribution to a core loading scheme of a reactor, and obtaining a predicted power level corresponding to the core loading scheme after applying the target water gap distribution.
[0095] In one embodiment of the present application, after the target water gap distribution is applied to the core loading scheme of the reactor, a pre-trained power level analysis model can be used to predict and analyze the power level of the core loading scheme after the target water gap distribution is applied to obtain the predicted power level corresponding to the core loading scheme after the target water gap distribution is applied.
[0096] Among them, the training process of the power level analysis model includes: obtaining at least one sample loading scheme with sample water gap distribution, and marking the sample power level of each sample loading scheme through manual labeling or other forms; and training the initial analysis model through the sample loading scheme marked with the sample power level to obtain the trained power level analysis model.
[0097] In another embodiment of the present application, after the target water gap distribution is applied to the core loading scheme of the reactor, the core loading scheme can also be simulated to detect the power level corresponding to the core loading scheme during the simulation operation, and the detected power level is used as the predicted power level corresponding to the core loading scheme after the target water gap distribution is applied.
[0098] S302 , predicting the tilt amount of the core loading scheme according to the predicted power level, and obtaining the core quadrant power tilt amount of the core loading scheme of the reactor.
[0099] In one embodiment of the present application, a calculation formula for the core quadrant power tilt amount can be obtained in advance, and the predicted power level is substituted into the calculation formula to obtain a calculation result for the predicted power level. The obtained calculation result is the core quadrant power tilt amount of the core loading scheme of the reactor.
[0100] The calculation formula for the core quadrant power tilt may include multiple forms and may be adjusted according to different situations. The details of the calculation formula are not limited here.
[0101] The core quadrant power tilt optimization method of the above-mentioned reactor obtains the predicted power level corresponding to the core loading scheme after applying the target water gap distribution, and realizes the prediction of the tilt amount of the core loading scheme according to the predicted power level, providing a data basis for the subsequent determination of the target loading scheme and ensuring the smooth progress of the subsequent process.
[0102] In one embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown in the figure, when it is necessary to obtain the theoretical power level and measured power level of each component of the reactor under historical cycles, the following contents may be included:
[0103] S401, obtaining the burnup depth of the reactor fuel assembly in the historical cycle.
[0104] In one embodiment of the present application, the burnup depth of each fuel assembly in the cycle can be optimized based on the measured power level of the historical cycle to obtain a more accurate burnup depth of the fuel assembly of the reactor in the historical cycle.
[0105] S402, obtaining the theoretical power level and the measured power level of each component of the reactor under historical cycles after optimizing the reactor burnup according to the fuel depth.
[0106] It should be noted that when it is necessary to obtain the theoretical power level and measured power level of each component of the reactor under historical cycles, the following may be included: conducting flux diagram test measurements on each component of the reactor under historical cycles to obtain the measured power level of each component of the reactor under historical cycles; conducting theoretical simulations on the reactor under historical cycles to obtain the theoretical power level of each component of the reactor under historical cycles.
[0107] In one embodiment of the present application, based on the burnup depth of the reactor fuel assembly in the historical cycle obtained in the previous step, after the reactor burnup is optimized, the theoretical calculated power of each component at the time of flux diagram test measurement is counted, and the actual measured power of each component at the time of flux diagram test measurement is counted.
[0108] As an example, let's take a target reactor unit with 157 core components. This means that theoretical calculations yield 157 theoretically calculated powers, denoted as Pa(i), where i = 1, 2, ..., 157. Experimental measurements and post-processing yield 157 actual measured powers, denoted as Pt(i), where i = 1, 2, ..., 157.
[0109] The core quadrant power tilt optimization method for the above-mentioned reactor ensures the accuracy of the subsequent determination of the target loading plan by obtaining the theoretical power level and measured power level of each component of the reactor under historical cycles after optimizing the reactor consumption according to the fuel depth.
[0110] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, according to the theoretical power level and the measured power level, the target water gap distribution is determined, which may include the following:
[0111] S501 : Determine a power difference between a theoretical power level and a measured power level of a reactor corresponding to an initial water gap distribution.
[0112] In one embodiment of the present application, a difference operation is performed on the theoretical power level and the measured power level, and the obtained difference operation result is the power difference between the theoretical power level and the measured power level.
[0113] S502: Determine the target water gap distribution according to the power difference.
[0114] In one embodiment of the present application, when it is necessary to determine the target water gap distribution, the following contents may be included: verifying the size relationship between the power difference and the preset difference threshold; if the size relationship is that the power difference is less than the difference threshold, then the initial water gap distribution is used as the target water gap distribution.
[0115] Furthermore, if the size relationship is that the power difference is not less than the difference threshold, the initial water gap distribution is adjusted to obtain an adjusted initial water gap distribution; the adjusted initial water gap distribution is used as the new initial water gap distribution, and based on the new initial water gap distribution, the step of determining the power difference between the theoretical power level and the measured power level of the reactor under the corresponding initial water gap distribution is returned to execute until the target water gap distribution is determined.
[0116] The difference threshold is set to zero.
[0117] The above-mentioned reactor core quadrant power tilt optimization method determines the target water gap distribution, optimizes the core quadrant power tilt of the reactor core loading plan through the target water gap distribution, and realizes early quantitative prediction and targeted suppression of quadrant power tilt.
[0118] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, when it is necessary to obtain a target loading plan, the following contents may be included:
[0119] S601, obtaining the burnup depth of the reactor fuel assembly in the historical cycle.
[0120] S602, obtaining the theoretical power level and the measured power level of each component of the reactor under historical cycles after optimizing the reactor burnup according to the fuel depth.
[0121] S603: Determine a power difference between a theoretical power level and an actual power level.
[0122] S604 , verifying whether the power difference is zero during the process of adjusting the initial water gap distribution.
[0123] S605: If the power difference is zero during the initial water gap distribution adjustment process, the adjusted initial water gap distribution is used as the target water gap distribution.
[0124] S606 , predicting the core quadrant power tilt of the reactor when the target water gap distribution is applied in the core loading scheme of the target cycle of the reactor.
[0125] S607 , performing core quadrant power tilt optimization on the core loading plan of the reactor according to the core quadrant power tilt amount to obtain a target loading plan.
[0126] In one embodiment, after applying the target water gap distribution in the target loading scheme of the reactor target cycle, the core quadrant power tilt of the reactor is as follows: Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the actual power core quadrant power tilt of the target loading scheme in the actual operation of the nuclear power unit is as follows: Figure 8 As shown in Figure 2, it can be seen that the predicted results are consistent with the measured results in terms of overall trend.
[0127] In another embodiment, the measured power core quadrant power tilt amount of the historical cycle is as follows: Figure 9 As shown in the figure, the core quadrant power tilt of the target loading scheme determined according to the target water gap distribution in the target cycle is as follows: Figure 10 As shown in the figure, the target loading scheme determined by the target water gap distribution has the following power tilt in the core quadrant of the target cycle: Figure 11 As shown, it can be seen that Figure 11 and Figure 10 The trends are the same, indicating that the target loading plan is determined accurately.
[0128] The above-mentioned reactor core quadrant power tilt optimization method obtains the theoretical power level and measured power level of each component of the reactor under the historical cycle, as well as the target water gap distribution; realizes the core quadrant power tilt optimization of the reactor core loading plan according to the target water gap distribution to obtain the target loading plan. According to the above content, it can be seen that in the process of determining the target loading plan, the present application determines the target water gap distribution through the deviation level of the theoretical power and the measured power of the historical cycle and the quadrant power tilt state; and then quantitatively predicts the quadrant power tilt state after the next cycle is started. Finally, by optimizing the core loading plan layout, the advance quantitative prediction and targeted suppression of the quadrant power tilt are realized, thereby alleviating the quadrant power tilt problem during the operation of the unit and effectively suppressing the power tilt phenomenon of the reactor.
[0129] It should be understood that, although the steps in the flowcharts of the above embodiments are shown in sequence as indicated by the arrows, these steps are not necessarily performed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and these steps can be performed in other orders.
