Description

Technical Field

[0002] The radiation generated by the operation of nuclear reactors can cause ionizing radiation damage to the surrounding environment and personnel, and materials need to be selected for effective shielding. At the same time, the activation reaction and radiation capture of neutrons and shielding materials will also produce secondary products and secondary gamma rays, which have the characteristics of multi-coupling. The safe and reasonable design of reactor radiation shielding mainly involves finding a shielding solution that meets the requirements of small size, light weight, stable structure, low cost and environmental friendliness while ensuring dose safety. It is a complex, multi-variable, multi-objective engineering optimization problem.

[0003] The variables for reactor radiation shielding design optimization include material selection, material sorting, shield size, shield quantity, radiation energy, etc. The optimization objectives include but are not limited to dose limit, duty cycle, total mass, radiation shielding performance, structural performance, heat transfer performance and economy, etc. These optimization objectives usually appear at the same time and influence each other, making it an urgent need to seek a multi-objective, multi-physical field coupled reactor shielding design optimization method for current engineering design.

[0004] In actual projects in the past, the optimization design of nuclear reactor shielding usually provides a series of optional solutions based on experience, or screens them out after manually calculating many solutions. This has the problems of high threshold, low efficiency and poor accuracy. In the past two decades, some scientists at home and abroad have used deterministic methods and Monte Carlo methods to carry out some work on shielding design optimization. However, due to the limitations of deterministic methods and Monte Carlo methods, these studies are usually limited to simple models and simple verifications, and are difficult to be applied to projects with more complex optimization problems.

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary persons in the art without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] Example 1

[0048] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 , which is an embodiment of the present invention, provides a multi-field coupled reactor radiation shielding design optimization method, comprising:

[0049] S1: Collect nuclear reactor information and determine constraints, and establish nuclear reactor cavity and shielding models.

[0050] Furthermore, collecting and determining nuclear reactor information and determining constraints includes determining nuclear reactor constraints.

[0052]

[0053] Where D is the dose, Q is the heat transfer performance, σ e is the effective stress of the structural performance, D s1,i and D s2,j are the cumulative doses of the i-th and j-th layers in the primary and secondary shielding, respectively, and D maxis the maximum permissible dose, k s1,i and k s2,j are the thermal conductivities of the i-th and j-th layers in the primary and secondary shields, respectively, A s1,i and A s2,j are the areas of the i-th and j-th layers in the primary and secondary shielding, respectively, ΔT s1,i and ΔT s2,j are the temperature differences between the i-th and j-th layers in the primary and secondary shields, respectively, Q max is the maximum allowable heat transfer, σ s1,i and σ s2,j are the stresses of the i-th and j-th layers in the primary and secondary shields, respectively, σ y,s1,i and σ y,s2,j are the yield strength of the material, respectively, to determine the thickness range and height range of the side material layer of the nuclear reactor cavity model, to determine the number of material layers of the shielding model of the primary shielding and secondary shielding models, expressed as:

[0055] h c,min ≤h c ≤h c,max

[0056] 1≤n 1 ≤N s1

[0057] 1≤n 2 ≤N s2

[0058] Among them, t c is the thickness of the side material layer, h c is the height of the side material layer, t c,min and t c,max are the minimum and maximum thickness of the side material layer, h c,min and h c,max are the minimum and maximum values ​​of the side material layer height, n 1 and n 2 is the number of shielding model material layers, N s1 and N s2 The maximum number of layers.

[0059] Furthermore, the nuclear reactor cavity and shielding models are established including model geometry parameters.

[0060] It should be noted that the geometric shape and size of the nuclear reactor cavity and shielding model are confirmed, the geometry, number of layers, and material of the model are set as variables, and the input sample 1 is generated by random sampling method and written into the file for saving. The geometric shape and size of the nuclear reactor cavity and shielding model are expressed as:

[0061] V c =πR 2 H.α

[0062]

[0063] Among them, V c is the reactor cavity volume, R is the radius, H is the height, α is the normalization parameter, V s1 and V s2 are the primary shielding volume and the secondary shielding volume, R o and R s are the primary and secondary shielding radii, H o and H s are the primary and secondary shielding heights, t s1,i is the thickness of the i-th layer of material, t s2,j is the thickness of the j-th layer of material, β i and γ j is the normalization factor.

[0064] S2: Calculate the radiation field distribution parameters, filter the calculation results, and simulate in combination with thermal and structural performance.

[0065] Furthermore, calculating the radiation field distribution parameters includes inputting the sample file 1 to call the nuclear physics calculation.

[0066] It should be noted that, combined with the interaction between neutrons and photons, the coupling coefficient is introduced to reflect the attenuation behavior of the interaction between neutrons and photons in the shielding material, which is expressed as:

[0067]

[0068] Among them, Φ n (r) and Φ γ (r) are the neutron flux distribution and photon flux distribution at distance r, Φ n0 and Φ γ0 are the initial neutron flux and initial photon flux respectively, σ n and σ γ are the neutron attenuation constant and the photon attenuation constant, respectively, and K is the coupling coefficient. The energy spectrum distribution of high-energy neutrons and photons is described by the energy filtering function, which is expressed as:

[0069]

[0070] Among them, φn (E) and φ γ (E) are the neutron energy spectrum distribution and photon energy spectrum distribution at energy E, φ n0 and φ γ0 is the normalization coefficient, α n , β n , α γ , β γ is the spectral parameter, γ n and γ γ is the energy filtering parameter, E 0 For reference energy, the non-uniformity parameter is introduced to reflect the trend of power attenuation with increasing distance and to describe the non-uniform distribution of power at different distances, which is expressed as:

[0071]

[0072] Where P(r) is the power distribution at distance r, P 0 is the initial power, σ p is the power attenuation constant, δ p is the non-uniformity parameter, R 0 For reference distance, the energy deposition effects of neutrons and photons are combined to describe the energy deposition behavior of different types of radiation in shielding materials, which is expressed as:

[0073]

[0074] Where E(r) is the energy deposition distribution at distance r, ∑ n and∑ γ are the energy deposition coefficients of neutrons and photons respectively, λ is the normalization parameter, and the calculation results are written into output file 1.

[0075] Furthermore, screening the calculation results includes based on dose constraints.

[0076] It should be noted that the output file 1 is judged. If there is a calculation result that exceeds the dose constraint, the parameter combination containing the result exceeding the dose constraint is deleted, the calculation results of all parameter combinations are traversed, and the calculation results and parameter combinations that meet the judgment conditions are written into the output file 2. In the multi-physical field coupling calculation or thermal hydraulic analysis, the parameter combination in the output file 2 is read as the calculation analysis model and regional material settings, the power distribution or energy deposition distribution is read as the boundary condition of the model, the grid is divided and calculated, and the calculation results of the parameter combination are output and written into the output file 3. The output file 3 is judged. If there is a calculation result that exceeds one of the heat transfer performance constraint conditions or the structural performance constraint conditions, the parameter combination containing the result exceeding the constraint condition is deleted, the calculation results of all parameter combinations are traversed, and the calculation results and parameter combinations that meet the judgment conditions are written into the output file 4.

[0077] It should also be noted that the neutron flux distribution and the photon flux distribution describe the distribution of neutrons and photons in space in a nuclear reactor, respectively. These distributions are crucial for evaluating the intensity of radiation at different locations. If the neutron or photon flux in a certain area is too high, the radiation dose in that area may exceed the safety limit. Therefore, comparing the neutron and photon flux distributions with the dose constraints can ensure that the radiation dose at each location is within a safe range, thereby ensuring the safety of personnel and the environment.

[0078] It should also be noted that the neutron energy spectrum and photon energy spectrum provide energy distribution information of neutrons and photons. Neutrons and photons of different energies have different penetration capabilities and radiation hazards to materials. High-energy neutrons and photons are more destructive and may result in higher radiation doses. By comparing the calculated results of the neutron energy spectrum and photon energy spectrum with the dose constraints, the shielding effect of the shielding material at different energy levels can be evaluated to ensure that high-energy radiation does not cause excessive doses, thereby optimizing the shielding design and improving safety.

[0079] It should also be noted that the power distribution describes the distribution of power in the reactor in space. The power distribution directly affects the thermal load and radiation dose of the reactor. Areas with excessively high power are often accompanied by high radiation doses, which may exceed safety limits. Comparing the power distribution with the dose constraints can ensure that the radiation dose in high-power areas is within a controllable range and guide the optimization of shielding design to reduce radiation leakage in high-power areas.

[0080] It should also be noted that the energy deposition distribution describes the deposition of radiation energy in the shielding material. The more energy is deposited in an area, the higher the radiation dose. By calculating the energy deposition distribution and comparing it with the dose constraints, high energy deposition areas can be identified, and then the shielding materials and structures can be optimized to ensure that the radiation dose in these areas does not exceed the standard. This comparison process helps to improve the accuracy and reliability of the shielding design and ensure that the shielding effect meets the standards.

[0081] S3: Train and adjust parameters through the neural network model to optimize the shielding design solution.

[0082] Furthermore, training and adjusting the parameters includes taking the output file 4 as an input sample.

[0083] It should be noted that the input samples are divided into training set, validation set and test set, the training set and neural network configuration parameters are input, and the neural network is initialized, which is expressed as:

[0084]

[0085] Among them, θ is the parameter set of the neural network, W is the weight, b is the bias term, The mean is 0 and the variance is σ 2 Gaussian distribution, use the training set to train the neural network, adjust the parameters of the neural network model, and adjust the hyperparameters of the neural network model through the validation set, which is expressed as:

[0086]

[0087] Among them, L(θ) is the loss function, N is the number of training samples, and y i is the true value, f(x i ; θ) is the predicted value, λ 1 is the regularization parameter, || || 2 is the L2 norm, L v (θ) is the validation set loss function, M is the number of validation samples, η is the learning rate, and T is the number of iterations. The test set is used to determine whether the adjusted neural network model meets the accuracy requirements. If it does not meet the accuracy requirements, the parameters are adjusted repeatedly. If it meets the accuracy requirements, the training ends and the neural network model parameters are output.

[0088] Furthermore, the optimized shielding design scheme includes using the neural network model parameters as optimization parameters.

[0089] It should be noted that the population composed of the initialized output file 4 is evaluated according to the dose constraints, heat transfer performance constraints, and structural performance constraints to obtain the fitness index of the shielding design performance. According to the fitness of the individuals in the population, selection, crossover, and mutation operations are performed to generate a new population with a better distribution, and it is judged whether the termination conditions are met, that is, the dose constraints, heat transfer performance constraints, and structural performance constraints meet the requirements. If not, the iteration is repeated. If the conditions are met, the optimized shielding design scheme is output.

[0090] Example 2

[0091] One embodiment of the present invention provides a multi-field coupled reactor radiation shielding design optimization method. In order to verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, scientific demonstration is carried out through economic benefit calculation and simulation experiments.

[0092] The multi-field coupling optimization method of the present invention is compared with the prior art. The test preparation includes collecting specific information of the nuclear reactor, determining various constraints, and verifying the effectiveness of the inventive method through modeling, calculation, screening and optimization. First, the relevant information and constraints of the nuclear reactor are determined, including dose constraints, heat transfer performance constraints, and structural performance constraints. The dose constraints in this experiment are set as the dose around the reactor does not exceed 5mSv / h, the heat transfer performance constraints are set as the shielding layer material temperature does not exceed 300°C, and the structural performance constraints are set as the material stress does not exceed 150MPa. The total mass requirement is as small as possible, and the duty cycle is controlled between 0.2-0.4. In terms of economy, the material and manufacturing costs are reduced as much as possible. Then, a nuclear reactor cavity model, a primary shielding model and a secondary shielding model are established in the nuclear physics calculation program. The cavity model is cylindrical, and its geometric dimensions and material parameters are set as variables. A set of input samples is generated by random sampling, saved as an input file, and the nuclear physics calculation program is called to read the input file for calculation. Calculate and output data such as neutron flux distribution, photon flux distribution, neutron energy spectrum, photon energy spectrum, power distribution and energy deposition distribution, and save them as output file 1. Filter the data in output file 1 according to the dose constraint conditions, eliminate the parameter combination that does not meet the dose constraint, and write the results that meet the requirements into output file 2. Read the data of output file 2 in the multi-physics field coupling calculation software, perform coupled calculation of thermal and structural performance, output data such as material layer temperature and stress, and save them as output file 3. Filter the data in output file 3, eliminate the parameter combination that does not meet the heat transfer performance or structural performance constraint conditions, and write the results that meet the requirements into output file 4. Use the neural network model to train, verify and adjust the filtered data, optimize the neural network model parameters by dividing the training set, verification set and test set, initialize the parameter combination population based on the neural network model parameters, generate the optimized new population through multiple selection, crossover and mutation operations, and perform fitness evaluation to determine whether it meets all constraints, and finally output the optimal shielding design scheme.

[0093] As shown in Table 1, in terms of total mass, the scheme of the present invention is generally lower than the existing technical scheme, which significantly reduces the weight of the structure. In terms of duty cycle, the scheme of the present invention is between 0.20-0.28, which is in line with the reasonable range and is generally lower than the existing technical scheme, which helps to improve the utilization efficiency of shielding materials. In terms of heat transfer performance, the temperature of the scheme of the present invention is generally lower than that of the existing technical scheme, which significantly improves the thermal performance and reduces the thermal load of the material. In terms of structural performance, the stress of the scheme of the present invention is also significantly lower than that of the existing technical scheme, which improves the structural safety and stability. In terms of economy, the cost of the scheme of the present invention is generally lower than that of the existing technical scheme, which significantly reduces the economic cost of the shielding design. The scheme of the present invention is superior to the existing technology in terms of total mass, duty cycle, heat transfer performance, structural performance and economy, reflecting the significant advantages of the present invention in the optimization of radiation shielding design.
