Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of nuclear reactor fuel rod analysis, and in particular to a fuel rod PCI performance risk assessment method, device, storage medium, and electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] Fuel rods are the main form of fuel in current pressurized water reactor nuclear power plants. They consist of zirconium alloy cladding tubes, fuel pellets installed in the cladding tubes, air cavity springs, and end plugs seal-welded at both ends of the cladding tubes. The zirconium alloy cladding serves as the first barrier to prevent the release of radioactive fission products, and its structural integrity is related to the operational safety of the entire reactor.

[0003] PCI (Pellet-Cladding Interaction) is a complex irradiation, thermal, and mechanical behavior between fuel pellets and zirconium alloy cladding. It manifests itself in the fuel rods being affected by the high temperature, high pressure, and neutron irradiation operating environment within the reactor. The fuel rods come into contact with the cladding due to the combined effects of thermal expansion, radiation swelling, and inward creep of the cladding. When the reactor power undergoes a transient power increase, the fuel pellets will experience significant outward expansion and swelling. PCI causes the zirconium alloy cladding to be in a state of high stress and strain, which can lead to failure of the cladding due to excessive stress or strain, and damage to the fuel rods. However, there is currently a lack of effective means to assess the PCI performance risks during fuel rod operation. Summary of the Invention

[0024] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments. It should be noted that, unless there is a conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other.

[0025] Currently, there is a lack of effective means to assess the PCI performance risk during fuel rod operation.

[0026] In order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a fuel rod PCI performance risk assessment method, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0027] Step 101: Obtain the current power and current burnup of the fuel rod.

[0028] The embodiment of the present invention is mainly applicable to scenarios where fuel rod PCI performance risk is assessed. The embodiment of the present invention is implemented by a device or apparatus capable of assessing fuel rod PCI performance risk, which can be specifically provided on a server side.

[0029] In order to assess the PCI performance risk during fuel rod operation, it is necessary to monitor the current power and current burnup of the fuel rods online in real time.

[0030] Step 102: Based on the current power and the current burnup, a target limit power corresponding to both the current power and the current burnup is calculated using a fuel rod limit power surface equation.

[0031] The fuel rod power limit surface equation is determined based on the initial power, initial burnup, and power limit of the fuel rod at each operating moment. The independent variables of the fuel rod power limit surface equation are power and burnup, and the dependent variable is power limit.

[0032] In this embodiment of the present invention, the current power and current burnup of the fuel rods monitored in real time are input into a pre-established fuel rod limit power surface equation S(x, y) for calculation to obtain a target limit power corresponding to both the current power and the current burnup.

[0033] Step 103: Calculate the power margin of the fuel rod according to the target limit power and the current power.

[0034] According to the embodiment of the present invention, after the target limit power of the fuel rod is determined, the target limit power is subtracted from the current power to obtain the power margin of the fuel rod.

[0035] Step 104: Evaluate the PCI performance risk of the fuel rod based on the power margin.

[0036] Among them, the PCI performance risk of the fuel rod refers to the stress and deformation of the cladding due to the interaction between the nuclear fuel core and the cladding, which affects the structural integrity and safety of the fuel rod.

[0037] In this embodiment of the present invention, after calculating the power margin of the fuel rod, the PCI performance risk of the fuel rod can be determined based on the size of the power margin. Regarding this process, step 104 specifically includes: determining the PCI performance risk level of the fuel rod based on the power range to which the power margin belongs; and evaluating the PCI performance risk of the fuel rod based on the PCI performance risk level of the fuel rod.

[0038] Specifically, the embodiment of the present invention can divide the power margin into multiple power ranges. Different power ranges correspond to different PCI performance risk levels. The larger the power margin, the lower the corresponding PCI performance risk level, and the smaller the PCI performance risk of the fuel rod. Conversely, the smaller the power margin, the higher the corresponding PCI performance risk level, and the greater the PCI performance risk of the fuel rod.

[0039] In specific application scenarios, nuclear reactors can also adjust the power of fuel rods according to the power margin of the fuel rods during operation, control the fuel rods with high power margin to appropriately increase the power operation to improve the nuclear fuel utilization rate and ensure the economy of the nuclear power plant, and at the same time control the fuel rods with low power margin to appropriately reduce the power operation to improve the safety of the nuclear reactor.

[0040] Existing PCI performance risk assessment methods typically select a few representative data points to analyze the power limits and conduct offline performance evaluations. However, this approach struggles to ensure that the analyzed power limits match the actual operating power. However, the present invention utilizes a pre-fitted fuel rod power limit surface equation to calculate the target power limit. This allows for online, real-time analysis of fuel rod PCI performance risks, ensuring that the target power limit matches the actual operating power.

[0041] A fuel rod PCI performance risk assessment method provided in an embodiment of the present invention calculates the target power limit of the fuel rod by utilizing the fuel rod power limit surface equation and online real-time monitoring of fuel rod power and burnup. Based on the target power limit, the fuel rod power margin is calculated. This method can effectively assess the PCI performance risk of the fuel rod, thereby ensuring safety during nuclear reactor operation.

[0042] Furthermore, as a refinement and extension of the specific implementation of the above embodiment, in order to fully illustrate the implementation of this embodiment, this embodiment also provides another fuel rod PCI performance risk assessment method, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0043] Step 201: Obtain the initial power, initial burnup, and limit power of the fuel rod at each operating moment.

[0044] In this embodiment of the present invention, before using the fuel rod limit power surface equation to calculate the target limit power of the fuel rod, the fuel rod limit power surface equation must be pre-constructed. When constructing the fuel rod limit power surface equation, it is necessary to obtain the initial power, initial burnup, and limit power of the fuel rod at each operating time. Regarding the process of obtaining the initial power, initial burnup, and limit power, step 201 specifically includes: obtaining a design power history of the fuel rod; generating a virtual power history of the fuel rod based on the design power history; calculating the initial power and initial burnup of the fuel rod at each operating time based on the virtual power history and preset fuel performance analysis software; determining a design criterion for the fuel rod based on the cladding type of the fuel rod; determining a first transient power based on the initial power and power variable at any one of the operating times, and determining a first cladding strain change at the first transient power based on the first transient power; and determining a limit power corresponding to both the initial power and initial burnup at the any one time based on the first cladding strain change and the cladding strain limit corresponding to the design criterion.

[0045] The design power history is the theoretical design power of the fuel rod, that is, the fuel rod operates at a constant power history throughout the entire operation cycle. However, the power of the fuel rod will fluctuate during actual operation. Therefore, a certain offset is added to the design power history to obtain the virtual power history.

[0046] When determining the limit power corresponding to both the initial power and the initial burnup at any moment, if the first cladding strain change does not exceed the cladding strain limit, the first transient power is increased to obtain a second transient power, and based on the second transient power, the second cladding strain change at the second transient power is determined; if the second cladding strain change exceeds the cladding strain limit, the first transient power is determined as the limit power corresponding to both the initial power and the initial burnup at the any moment.

[0047] In an embodiment of the present invention, after generating a virtual power history for the fuel rods based on the design power history, the virtual power history, core data (neutronic parameters), and fuel rod structural parameters are input into a preset fuel performance analysis software for calculation, thereby obtaining the initial power and initial burnup of the fuel rods at various operating moments. Simultaneously, the PCI design criteria to be adopted are determined based on the fuel rod cladding type. These PCI equipment criteria include, among other things, cladding strain limits. By applying different transient powers, an embodiment of the present invention can obtain the cladding strain change at different transient powers. Specifically, assuming that the initial power at any one of the various operating moments is P kW / m and the initial burnup is B MWd / tU, the first transient power corresponding to that moment is (P + ΔP) kW / m. The preset fuel performance analysis software is then used to determine the first cladding strain change at this first transient power. If the first transient power is (P+△P) kW / m and the first cladding strain change does not exceed the cladding strain limit corresponding to the design criterion, the first transient power is increased to obtain the second transient power (P+△P+1) kW / m. Then, the second cladding strain change under the second transient power is re-determined. If the second cladding strain change exceeds the cladding strain limit, the first transient power (P+△P) kW / m is determined as the limit power corresponding to both the initial power P kW / m and the initial burnup B MWd / tU.

[0048] Furthermore, if the first cladding strain change exceeds the cladding strain limit, the power variable is reduced, and the third transient power is determined based on the reduced power variable and the initial power at any moment, and based on the third transient power, the third cladding strain change under the third transient power is determined.

[0049] Specifically, if the first cladding strain change under the first transient power of (P+△P) kW / m exceeds the cladding strain limit, the power variable △P is appropriately reduced to obtain the third transient power, and then the third cladding strain change under the third transient power is re-determined, and the relationship between the third cladding strain change and the cladding strain limit is compared again.

[0050] Furthermore, if the second cladding strain change does not exceed the cladding strain limit, the power variable is increased, and the fourth transient power is determined based on the increased power variable and the initial power at any moment, and based on the fourth transient power, the fourth cladding strain change under the fourth transient power is determined.

[0051] Specifically, if the second cladding strain change under the second transient power (P+△P+1) kW / m is less than the cladding strain limit, the power variable △P is appropriately increased to obtain the fourth transient power, and then the fourth cladding strain change under the fourth transient power is re-determined, and the relationship between the fourth cladding strain change and the cladding strain limit is compared again.

[0052] Through the above-described method, the embodiment of the present invention can accurately determine the power limit under different power and burnup conditions at different operating times, and form a PCI power limit database for use by the nuclear reactor online monitoring system. This can be used to evaluate the PCI performance of the fuel rod operation process and ensure the safe operation of the nuclear reactor.

[0053] Step 202: Fitting the fuel rod limit power surface equation based on the initial power, initial burnup, and limit power at each operating moment.

[0054] In this embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the initial power, initial fuel, and limit power of the fuel rod at each operating time, fitting the fuel rod limit power surface equation is performed. Regarding this process, step 202 specifically includes: constructing a two-dimensional polynomial equation for the fuel rod; constructing a limit power residual sum of squares equation based on the two-dimensional polynomial equation; using each polynomial coefficient of the two-dimensional polynomial equation as an unknown variable, and using the limit power residual sum of squares equation to obtain a matrix equation for the fuel rod; solving the matrix equation based on the initial power, initial burnup, and limit power at each operating time to obtain values corresponding to each polynomial coefficient; and determining the fuel rod limit power surface equation based on the values corresponding to each polynomial coefficient.

[0055] Specifically, the two-dimensional polynomial equation of the fuel rod can be constructed in the form of a two-dimensional n-degree polynomial as shown below:

[0056] S(x,y)=a 00 +a 10 ·x+a01 y+a 11 ·x·y+....+a n-1n-1 ·x n-1 ·y n-1 +a n0 ·x n +a 0n ·y n (1)

[0057] Among them, S(x,y) is the fuel rod limit power surface equation related to initial power, initial burnup, and limit power to be fitted, x is the initial power, y is the initial burnup, a ij are the polynomial coefficients.

[0058] Furthermore, the least squares method is used to fit the fuel rod limit power surface equation S(x,y). The specific formula is as follows:

[0059] δ i =(S(x i ,y i )-S i ) 2 (2)

[0060]

[0061] Among them, δ i Represents the initial power x i , the initial burnup is y i The fitting limit power S(x i ,y i ) and the actual limit power S i The residual square between δ is the residual square sum equation of the limit power. When the least squares method is used for fitting, the value of the residual square sum equation of the limit power should be minimized.

[0062] Furthermore, we use formula (3) to find partial derivatives of each polynomial coefficient. Now we take the polynomial coefficient a as n0 Taking the partial derivative as an example, the specific formula is as follows:

[0063]

[0064] After formula (4) is expanded, we can get:

[0065]

[0066] Furthermore, the polynomial coefficient a ij As unknown quantity, based on each polynomial coefficient a ij The corresponding formula (5) constructs the matrix equation as follows:

[0067]

[0068] After constructing the matrix equation, the polynomial coefficient a is calculated based on the initial power, initial fuel consumption and limit power at each operating time. ij Solve it to obtain the fuel rod limit power surface equation.

[0069] Step 203: Obtain the current power and current burnup of the fuel rod.

[0070] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the current power and current burnup of the fuel rods are monitored online in real time.

[0071] Step 204 : Based on the current power and the current burnup, a target limit power corresponding to both the current power and the current burnup is calculated using a fuel rod limit power surface equation.

[0072] The fuel rod limit power surface equation is determined based on the initial power, initial burnup and limit power of the fuel rod at each operating moment.

[0073] In this embodiment of the present invention, the current power and current burnup of the fuel rods monitored in real time are input into a pre-established fuel rod limit power surface equation S(x, y) for calculation to obtain a target limit power corresponding to both the current power and the current burnup.

[0074] Step 205: Calculate the power margin of the fuel rod according to the target limit power and the current power.

[0075] According to the embodiment of the present invention, after the target limit power of the fuel rod is determined, the target limit power is subtracted from the current power to obtain the power margin of the fuel rod.

[0076] Step 206: Evaluate the PCI performance risk of the fuel rod based on the power margin.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present invention, the process of evaluating the PCI performance risk of the fuel rod according to the power margin is exactly the same as step 104 and will not be repeated here.
