Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention specifically relates to a neutronics equivalent modeling method and apparatus for highly filled dispersed particles. Background Technology
[0002] High-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs) are internationally recognized as a generation four reactor type with inherently high safety. Their coated particle fuel possesses significant advantages, including high-temperature resistance and strong containment capacity for radioactive fission products, which is a major guarantee of the HTGR's high safety. Coated particles consist of a core and a cladding layer surrounding the core. These particles are dispersed within the matrix material, forming spherical or cylindrical fuel elements. The coated particles can be either fuel particles or poison particles. The core can be fuel, combustible poison, or other materials with strong self-shielding effects, while the cladding layer can be materials such as carbon or silicon carbide. The dual inhomogeneity of this type of fuel system presents certain challenges to neutronics calculations.
[0003] To simulate the dispersed distribution of particles in a matrix, various particle arrangement models have been developed, such as regular arrangement models, random grid perturbation models, random sequence addition models, and Metropolis models. Among these, the random sequence addition method is the most widely used and is one of the models that most closely approximates a true random distribution. This method can achieve a maximum fill ratio of 38%. When the fill ratio approaches the theoretical upper limit of 38%, the probability of rejection and the overall modeling time increase significantly to an unacceptable level. Therefore, theoretically, it is impossible to perform neutronics modeling on coated particle dispersed fuels with a fill ratio greater than 38% by directly using the above methods.
[0004] With the development of small modular high-temperature gas-cooled reactors, in order to reduce core size and increase core fuel loading, the particle filling rate in fuel elements has gradually increased, reaching as high as 40%-70%, which significantly exceeds the application range of random sequence addition methods. Therefore, it is necessary to invent a random distribution modeling method for dispersed particles to meet the neutronics calculation requirements of coated particle dispersed fuel systems with high filling rates.

[0080] 1) Calculate the maximum outer radius of the equivalent particles based on the maximum allowable filling rate and the actual filling rate of the fuel element;

By constructing an equivalent particle model, it can directly utilize existing particle distribution modeling techniques, breaking through the 38% limit on the fill rate of the random sequence addition method, and meeting the requirements for random distribution modeling of dispersed particles under high fill rates.
[0086] This invention reduces the volumetric filling rate by compressing the coating layer to decrease the size of the coated particles while maintaining the core size of the particles with strong resonant self-shielding effects. Simultaneously, it alters the density of both the coating layer and the matrix material, ensuring the conservation of nucleon numbers for all materials before and after equivalence, thus maintaining unchanged neutronics properties. Compared to compressing the particle size as a whole, the method proposed in this invention offers higher neutronics calculation accuracy.
[0087] Therefore, the equivalent neutronics modeling method of the present invention can effectively avoid the fill rate limitation of the random sequence addition method, meet the modeling requirements of random distribution of high fill rate dispersed particles, and achieve reactive equivalence, thus ensuring the accuracy of neutronics calculation.
[0088] In this embodiment, the equivalent maximum outer radius R of the particle outer,max The result obtained using formula (1) is:
[0089]
[0090] Among them, R outer,0 PF represents the outer radius of the actual particle. max PF0 is the maximum allowable fill rate of the fuel element, and PF0 is the actual fill rate of the fuel element.
[0091] In this embodiment, the maximum compression ratio F of the particle's coating layer is... max The result obtained using formula (2) is:
[0092]
[0093] Among them, R kernel Let be the radius of the particle's core.
[0094] In this embodiment, the equivalent fill rate PF of the fuel element is calculated using equation (3):
[0095]
[0096] Among them, R outer The equivalent outer radius of the particle is calculated using equation (4):
[0097]
[0098] Where F is the set compression ratio.
[0099] In this embodiment, equation (5) is used to adjust the density of the coating material:
[0100] ρ coat =ρ coat,0 / F (5)
[0101] Adjust the density of the matrix material using formula (6):

[0105] Example 2
[0106] This embodiment uses a typical TIRSO fuel prism assembly as an example to describe how the present invention can be applied to the neutron physics analysis of a high-fill-rate dispersed fuel system.
[0107] The structure of TIRSO particles 3 in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it includes a core 1 and a covering layer 2. Its dimensions are shown in Table 1. Figure 3 As shown, TIRSO particles 3 are dispersed in the matrix 4, forming fuel pellets. The particle filling rate in the fuel pellets is 40%, exceeding the theoretical upper limit of 38% for the random sequence addition method. Therefore, this method cannot be directly used for modeling and calculating the random distribution of particles.
[0108] The particle model was equivalently processed using the method of this invention to reduce the filling rate. Based on the particle size and actual filling rate, the maximum compression ratio corresponding to the maximum filling rate of 38% was calculated to be 94% using formulas (1) and (2). Then, compression ratios of 90%, 85%, and 80% were selected, and the outer radius of each coating layer after compression was calculated using formula (4). The corresponding equivalent filling rate was calculated using formula (3), and the results are shown in Table 1. Then, the equivalent density of the coating layer and the matrix material after compression was calculated using formulas (5) and (6). Neutronics calculations were performed using the above equivalent particle model with regular arrangement and random distribution, respectively.

[0110]
[0111]
[0112] To further demonstrate the neutron equivalence of the method of the present invention, neutron calculation results of particles compressed as a whole at the same compression ratio are used for comparison. This method simultaneously alters the size and density of the core and coating layers, as well as the density of the matrix material.
[0113] k of various models infThe calculation results are shown in Table 2. The random standard deviation of a single Monte Carlo calculation is approximately 0.00009. Since the regular arrangement model can simulate a particle distribution with a 40% fill rate, the influence of the compressed equivalent particle model on reactivity is first examined using the regular arrangement model. The calculation results show that the reactivity calculation results of the equivalent particle model under different compression ratios are basically consistent with the calculation results of the original particle model. Then, the compressed equivalent particle model is applied to perform random distribution modeling calculations, and the results are compared with those of the particle model with a core-coated layer compressed proportionally. The calculation results of the equivalent particle model under different compression ratios obtained using the method provided by this invention are basically consistent, and the neutron reactivity before and after compression is equivalent; however, the method of proportional compression of the core-coated layer will introduce significant reactivity errors, and the smaller the compression ratio, the greater the reactivity deviation. The comparison results show that using the method of this invention to construct the equivalent particle model can overcome the fill rate limitation of the random sequence addition method while ensuring the accuracy of neutron calculations.

[0116]
[0117] Example 3
[0118] This embodiment uses a typical spherical fuel element as an example, with TIRSO particles dispersed in the central spherical fuel region. The particle size is the same as in Example 2, and the fill rate is set to 50%, which exceeds the theoretical upper limit of 38% for the random sequence addition method. Therefore, this method cannot be directly used to model and calculate the random distribution of particles.
[0119] The particle model was equivalently processed using the method of this invention to reduce the filling rate. Based on the particle size and actual filling rate, the maximum compression ratio corresponding to the maximum filling rate of 38% was calculated to be 71.4% using formulas (1) and (2). Then, compression ratios of 65%, 60%, and 50% were selected, and the outer radius of each coating layer after compression was calculated using formula (4). The corresponding equivalent filling rate was calculated using formula (3). Then, the equivalent density of the coating layer and matrix material after compression was calculated using formulas (5) and (6). Neutronics calculations were performed using the above equivalent particle model with regular arrangement and random distribution, respectively, and compared with the overall proportional compression model of the core coating layer.
[0120] k of various models infThe calculation results are shown in Table 3. The random standard deviation of a single Monte Carlo calculation is approximately 0.00009. Since the regular arrangement model can simulate a particle distribution with a 50% fill rate, the influence of the compressed equivalent particle model on reactivity is first examined using the regular arrangement model. The calculation results show that the reactivity calculation results of the equivalent particle model under different compression ratios are basically consistent with the calculation results of the original particle model. Then, the compressed equivalent particle model is applied to perform random distribution modeling calculations, and the results are compared with those of the particle model with a core-coated layer compressed proportionally. The calculation results of the equivalent particle model under different compression ratios obtained using the method provided by this invention are basically consistent, and the neutron reactivity is equivalent before and after compression; however, the method of proportional compression of the core-coated layer will introduce significant reactivity errors, and the smaller the compression ratio, the greater the reactivity deviation. The comparison results show that using the method of this invention to construct the equivalent particle model can overcome the fill rate limitation of the random sequence addition method while ensuring the accuracy of neutron calculations.
