Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of reactor seismic analysis, and more specifically, to a method, system, terminal and medium for seismic analysis of a nuclear power plant reactor fuel assembly. Background Art

[0002] In the seismic analysis of the Hualong One third-generation nuclear power plant, the peak ground acceleration of the site seismic design was increased from 0.2g to 0.3g, resulting in the stress strength margin of the initial design of the reactor fuel assembly exceeding the limit. Therefore, it is necessary to find seismic inputs that meet the requirements of the specifications and ensure a reasonable safety margin, and to carry out multiple rounds of fuel assembly seismic analysis based on the seismic inputs. In the seismic analysis of the fuel assembly, the fuel assembly, as a sub-component of the reactor system, involves the transformation of the seismic response spectrum of the reactor system support position to the seismic acceleration time history, the establishment of the reactor system analysis model and seismic analysis (seismic input calculation of the fuel assembly), the establishment of the fuel assembly dynamic analysis model and seismic response load calculation, different types of load combinations, component stress analysis and evaluation, etc.; the manual analysis process is extremely complicated, and the amount of input / output data transmitted between the software is large, the manual working method is inefficient, and the probability of data transmission errors is high. In addition, the calculations involving multiple rounds are extremely cumbersome and time-consuming.

[0003] At present, the seismic analysis process of fuel assemblies at home and abroad is basically similar, and both are extremely cumbersome, such as the accident analysis of the Qinshan Phase II fuel assembly loss of coolant accident LOCA and earthquake SSE by Xiao Zhong et al. and the safety analysis of fuel assemblies under earthquake plus LOCA by Zhou Yunqing et al. In terms of software use, the seismic analysis of the fuel assemblies of the US AP1000 reactor type requires three software: first use the DEPLIN2 program to convert the spectrum to the time history, perform manual screening of the time history, then use the ANSYS software to perform reactor coolant system and reactor seismic analysis, obtain the input of the seismic analysis of the fuel assembly, and then use the WEGAP software to perform seismic analysis of the fuel assembly to obtain the deformation of the fuel assembly, and finally use the ANSYS software to perform stress analysis based on the deformation to complete the analysis and evaluation; for the seismic analysis of the fuel assemblies of the French M310 reactor type, three software are also required: first use the FACS program to convert the spectrum to the time history, perform manual screening of the time history, then use the SYSTUS software to perform reactor seismic analysis, obtain the input of the seismic analysis of the fuel assembly, and then use the CASAC to perform seismic analysis and stress analysis of the fuel assembly to complete the evaluation analysis. In addition, in the conversion of the earthquake floor response spectrum at the support position of the reactor system to the earthquake acceleration time history, on the one hand, the specifications are upgraded and the time history conversion spectrum needs to meet the requirements of the upgraded specifications, and on the other hand, the basic requirement of a reasonable safety margin must be guaranteed, and manual search is extremely cumbersome.

[0004] However, there is no related technology that meets the above requirements in public reports at home and abroad. Therefore, how to study and design a nuclear power plant reactor fuel assembly seismic analysis method, system, terminal and medium that can overcome the above defects is a problem that we urgently need to solve. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to address the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method, system, terminal and medium for seismic analysis of nuclear power plant reactor fuel assemblies, which can obtain earthquake acceleration time histories that meet specification parameters and ensure a reasonable safety margin, while improving the work efficiency of seismic analysis of fuel assemblies, reducing the manual workload of seismic analysis, reducing the probability of errors in the analysis process, and avoiding errors and omissions that may occur in manual data transmission and load combinations.
