Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nuclear and radiation safety technology, and specifically relates to a method for calculating the two-dimensional radiolytic gas cavitation distribution in a fissile aqueous solution system. Background Technology

[0002] Homogeneous uranium salt aqueous solutions are commonly found in homogeneous aqueous reactors and spent fuel reprocessing. When a fissile aqueous system reaches criticality, fission products collide with substances in the solution, resulting in radiodecomposition and the formation of radiodecomposition products. Compared to other fission products, radiodecomposition products from fission fragments account for approximately 96%, and the primary products formed by their collisions with water molecules are mainly hydrogen and hydrogen peroxide. Furthermore, the energy rapidly released along the trajectory of fission fragments causes the generation of water vapor; however, if the solution has not reached saturation temperature, the water vapor dissolves rapidly. Therefore, the gas formed along the trajectory of fission fragments is mostly hydrogen.

[0003] Before the hydrogen saturation concentration is reached, the small bubbles formed by the rapid generation and accumulation of hydrogen will dissolve until the saturation concentration is reached. These small bubbles generated along the trajectory of fission fragments will no longer dissolve, and the radiation cracking gas dissolved in the solution will diffuse into the bubbles, causing the bubbles to grow rapidly.

[0004] Increased temperature and rapid bubble growth create inertial pressure, posing a safety threat to the container walls. Simultaneously, these stable bubbles, buoyant and escaping the solution, cause power oscillations. Therefore, modeling and analyzing the behavior of radiolytic bubbles is crucial in the transient analysis of homogeneous uranium salt aqueous solutions. Summary of the Invention

[0053] 2. This invention can be used in simulation programs for fissile aqueous solutions, especially for cases where there is a large reactive inertial pressure pulse introduced by an instantaneous criticality. This invention can calculate the magnitude of the inertial pressure and simulate the distribution of radiolytic bubbles.

[0054] 3. Because commonly used radiolytic gas models do not consider the processes of bubble nucleation and growth, and rely on many empirical parameters, simulation programs for fissile aqueous solutions cannot accurately simulate both the first fission peak and broadening simultaneously. Furthermore, CFD two-phase flow simulation is complex, computationally intensive, and inefficient. This invention achieves accurate calculations without requiring a large number of meshes, has a small computational load, and is fast, ensuring both accuracy and computational efficiency.
