[0059] According to some embodiments, the multi-module pebble bed high-temperature gas-cooled reactor may, for example, be a reactor that adopts spherical fuel elements, uses graphite as a moderator, and uses helium as a coolant. The most notable fuel management feature of this kind of reactor is that it can be refueled without stopping the reactor, that is, it can be refueled during operation.

[0060] Among them, “high temperature” in the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (High-Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor, HTGR) may, for example, refer to the outlet temperature of the reactor coolant (usually helium) being greater than a preset temperature, for example, it may be higher than the temperature of a water-cooled reactor.

The low enrichment shallow burnup spent fuel element information corresponding to the first module may, for example, include the number and discharge burnup. The low enrichment shallow burnup spent fuel element information corresponding to the first module does not refer to a fixed information. For example, when the number of low enrichment shallow burnup spent fuel elements corresponding to the first module changes, the low enrichment shallow burnup spent fuel element information corresponding to the first module may also change accordingly.
[0068] In some embodiments, the second module may, for example, be the next module adjacent to the first module in the multi-module, that is, the second module in the multi-module.

[0069] According to some embodiments, the second input information may, for example, be the input information corresponding to the second module. Among them, different modules may, for example, correspond to different input information. The second fuel management information may, for example, be the fuel management information corresponding to the second module.
[0070] In some embodiments, the second fuel management information of the second module during the initial loading and the transition process is obtained according to the low-enrichment light-burnup spent fuel element information corresponding to the first module and the second input information corresponding to the second module.

[0076] According to some embodiments, the safety evaluation method can be a method for determining whether each fuel management information in the fuel management information set is safe to execute.

[0079] In some or related embodiments, the first fuel management information in the initial loading and transition process of the first module is obtained according to the corresponding first input information of the multi-module pebble bed high temperature gas cooled reactor, wherein the first module is the first module in the multi-module; the second fuel management information in the initial loading and transition process of the second module is obtained according to the corresponding low-enrichment shallow burnup spent fuel element information of the first module and the corresponding second input information of the second module, wherein the second module is the next module adjacent to the first module in the multi-module; the third fuel management information in the initial loading and transition process of the fourth module is obtained according to the corresponding low-enrichment shallow burnup spent fuel element information of at least one third module and the corresponding second input information of the fourth module, wherein the third module is a module before the fourth module in the multi-module, and the fourth module is any module in the multi-module except the first module and the second module; in the process of executing the set of fuel management information, the set of fuel management information is evaluated in a safety evaluation manner, and the set of fuel management information is executed according to the evaluation result, wherein the set of fuel management information includes first fuel management information, second fuel management information, and third fuel management information. Therefore, the first module can be determined according to the input information, the low-enrichment shallow burnup spent fuel element of the module before the first module can be used in the transition process of the reactor of the subsequent module, that is, the low-enrichment shallow burnup spent fuel element discharged from the module that has been put into operation earlier can be used in the transition process of the reactor of the subsequent module by taking advantage of the difference in loading time of each module, the accuracy of the determination of the fuel management information can be improved, the length of the transition process can be shortened, the time to reach the balanced core can be reduced, the cost of the power plant can be reduced, the low-enrichment shallow burnup spent fuel element can be reused, the utilization efficiency of the low-enrichment shallow burnup spent fuel element can be improved, the demand for low-enrichment new fuel elements can be reduced, the operation cost of the nuclear fuel of the unit can be reduced, and the number of low-enrichment spent fuel elements is correspondingly reduced, the storage and reprocessing cost of the spent fuel elements is reduced, thereby the utilization rate of the low-enrichment fuel elements can be improved, and the cost of the nuclear fuel can be reduced.
[0080] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a second nuclear fuel management method of a multi-module pebble bed high temperature gas cooled reactor provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, asFigure 2 As shown, the nuclear fuel management method of the multi-module pebble bed type high temperature gas cooled reactor can be used in the initial loading and transition process nuclear fuel management scenarios of the multi-module pebble bed type high temperature gas cooled reactor, including the following steps:
[0081] In step S21, according to the first input information corresponding to the multi-module pebble bed type high temperature gas cooled reactor, the first fuel management information in the initial loading and transition process of the first module is obtained, wherein the first module is the first module in the multi-module;
[0082] For example, the related description can be as described above, which will not be repeated here.
[0083] In some embodiments, the pebble bed type high temperature gas cooled reactor can load hundreds of thousands of spherical fuel elements into the reactor to reach a critical state that can be continuously and stably operated. During operation, the spherical fuel elements can be continuously loaded into the core from the top of the reactor, while a corresponding number of fuel elements are continuously unloaded from the bottom of the core, keeping the core load unchanged. The unloaded fuel elements are measured by the burnup measurement system, and if the predetermined burnup depth is not reached, they are sent back to the reactor for use; the fuel elements that reach the predetermined burnup are unloaded from the core as spent fuel and stored in the spent fuel tank. The structure of the spherical fuel elements can be as described above, for example. Figure 3 As shown, P y The C layer is a pyrolytic carbon layer. An example schematic diagram of the change in discharge burnup of the low enrichment fuel elements of the pebble bed type high temperature gas cooled reactor is as shown in Figure 4 As shown, most of the low enrichment fuel elements are not completely used up before being discharged from the core as spent fuel elements, which causes a great waste in economy. Therefore, recycling low enrichment fuel elements can reduce costs. Figure 4
[0084] According to some embodiments, in the early stage of the initial loading and transition process of the pebble bed type high temperature gas cooled reactor, the core fissile products are limited and there is basically no neutron poison, so the core can be critical with less fissile material than the equilibrium core. Therefore, the initial loading core of the pebble bed type high temperature gas cooled reactor can be composed of low enrichment fuel elements (compared to high enrichment fuel elements of the equilibrium core. For example, the high temperature gas cooled reactor core can be composed of high and low enrichment fuel elements and graphite balls, wherein the enrichment of the high and low enrichment fuel elements can be 8.5% and 4.2%, respectively), and the graphite balls can be pure graphite elements with the same size as the fuel elements and no uranium inside.
[0085] According to some embodiments, the pebble bed type high temperature gas cooled reactor adopts a certain proportion of mixed fuel composed of unused low enrichment fuel elements and graphite balls for initial core establishment, and after the initial core establishment is completed, a transition process is still needed to reach the equilibrium core, wherein the proportion of the unused low enrichment fuel elements and the graphite balls may be, for example, 7:8, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The above process may include:
[0086] (1) The reactor is operated at a certain power, and the graphite balls are unloaded in batches, while the same number of low enrichment fuel elements are loaded. This is manifested as the total loading amount of mixed fuel in the core is unchanged, the number of graphite balls gradually decreases, and the number of low enrichment fuel elements gradually increases, until the core is composed of low enrichment fuel elements. Subsequently, the core will start to discharge low enrichment spent fuel elements (with lower burnup level).
[0087] (2) The reactor continues to operate at a certain power, and during the operation, the low enrichment spent fuel elements are continuously discharged (the discharge burnup gradually increases), while the same amount of high enrichment fuel elements are loaded. This is manifested as the total loading amount of fuel elements in the core is unchanged, the number of low enrichment fuel elements gradually decreases, and the number of high enrichment fuel elements gradually increases, until the core is composed of high enrichment fuel elements, and the equilibrium core state is reached.
[0088] In some embodiments, for a multi-module pebble bed type high temperature gas cooled reactor, due to the sequential loading and commissioning of each module, the loading of the first module and the last module will be different in time, which may be, for example, half a year; if the same initial loading and transition process scheme is adopted, the time required for each module is the same, which may be, for example, about 3 years of full power operation, i.e. about 1100 effective full power days (EFPD). Therefore, the initial loading and transition process nuclear fuel management scheme of the unit can be developed, and the initial loading and transition process plan of each module can be developed as an input condition for the development of the nuclear fuel management scheme.
[0089] According to some embodiments, according to the first input information corresponding to the multi-module pebble bed type high temperature gas cooled reactor, the first fuel management information in the initial loading and transition process of the first module is obtained, including:
[0090] Obtaining structural design information of the multi-module pebble bed high temperature gas cooled reactor, power information of the multi-module pebble bed high temperature gas cooled reactor, design information of the multi-module pebble bed high temperature gas cooled reactor, obtaining first fuel management information in the initial loading and transition process of the first module, the first fuel management information including at least one of in-core loading information, fuel element enrichment information, fuel element and graphite ball ratio information, initial core building process information, transition process information, spent fuel sorting limit value information, refueling mode information, and reactivity control information. Therefore, the fuel management information can be determined through the corresponding input information, the accuracy of the fuel management information determination can be improved, and the accuracy of the fuel management of the first module can be improved.
[0091] In some embodiments, the first module, i.e., the first module, cannot transition using low-enrichment shallow burnup spent fuel elements of other modules, so it is necessary to determine the fuel management information of the first module. The number and discharge burnup of the low-enrichment shallow burnup spent fuel elements discharged in the transition process of the first module will be used as the selection of the fuel management scheme of the initial loading and transition process of the subsequent module.
[0092] In step S22, the second fuel management information in the initial loading and transition process of the second module is obtained according to the low-enrichment shallow burnup spent fuel element information corresponding to the first module and the corresponding second input information of the second module, wherein the second module is the next module adjacent to the first module in the multi-module;
[0093] Wherein, the relevant description may, for example, be as described above, and will not be repeated here.
[0094] According to some embodiments, the second fuel management information in the initial loading and transition process of the second module is obtained according to the low-enrichment shallow burnup spent fuel element information corresponding to the first module and the corresponding second input information of the second module, comprising:
[0095] Obtaining low-enrichment shallow burnup spent fuel element information corresponding to the first module, wherein the low-enrichment shallow burnup spent fuel element information corresponding to the first module includes quantity information and discharge burnup information of the low-enrichment shallow burnup spent fuel element corresponding to the first module;
[0096] According to the quantity information of the low-enrichment shallow burn-up spent fuel elements corresponding to the first module, the discharged burn-up information, the fuel element information corresponding to the second module, and the graphite sphere information corresponding to the second module, second fuel management information in the initial loading and transition process of the second module is obtained, wherein the second fuel management information includes at least one of the core loading amount information, the fuel element enrichment information, the mixed fuel element and graphite sphere ratio information, the initial loading core establishment process information, the transition process information, the spent fuel sorting limit value information, the refueling mode information, and the reactivity control information, and the mixed fuel element includes the low-enrichment shallow burn-up spent fuel elements corresponding to the first module and the fuel elements corresponding to the second module. Therefore, the second fuel management information can be determined by using the corresponding low-enrichment shallow burn-up spent fuel element information of the first module, the low-enrichment shallow burn-up fuel elements can be used in the transition process of the subsequent module, the transition process time can be shortened, the time to reach the balanced core can be reduced, and the cost of the power plant can be reduced.
[0097] In some embodiments, the second module, for example, the second module, can be transitioned according to unused fuel and spent fuel elements of the first module. The quantity and discharged burn-up of the spent fuel elements of the first module will be used as the selection of the nuclear fuel management scheme of the initial loading and transition process of the third and subsequent modules.
[0098] In step S23, according to the low-enrichment shallow burn-up spent fuel element information corresponding to at least one third module and the corresponding second input information of the fourth module, third fuel management information in the initial loading and transition process of the fourth module is obtained, wherein the third module is a module before the fourth module in the multi-module, and the fourth module is any module in the multi-module except the first module and the second module.
[0099] Wherein, the related description can be as described above, which will not be repeated here.
[0100] For example, the third module can be transitioned by using new fuel elements and spent fuel elements of the first module and the second module, and the selection of the nuclear fuel loading will be more. The quantity and discharged burn-up of the spent fuel elements discharged in the transition process of the third module will be used as the selection of the nuclear fuel management scheme of the initial loading and transition process of the fourth and subsequent modules. By analogy, the initial loading and transition process nuclear fuel management scheme of the nth module can be formulated in turn.
[0101] In some embodiments, there are many kinds of multi-module pebble bed high temperature gas cooled reactor initial loading and transition process nuclear fuel management schemes in theory, that is, a plurality of fuel management information sets can be corresponded, according to different operation requirements, application scenarios, and initial loading and transition process plans.
[0102] According to some embodiments, the method further includes:
[0103] In a case where a plurality of fuel management information sets corresponding to the multi-module is determined, evaluation information corresponding to each of the plurality of fuel management information sets is acquired;
[0104] According to the evaluation information corresponding to each of the plurality of fuel management information sets, a target fuel management information set is acquired. In a case where a plurality of fuel management information sets exists, the target fuel management information set can be determined according to the evaluation information, and the matching between the fuel management information set and the multi-module can be improved.
[0105] According to some embodiments, the plurality of fuel management information sets can be iterated, compared and analyzed comprehensively, and the target fuel management information set can be selected.
[0106] According to some embodiments, in a case where a plurality of units corresponding to the multi-module pebble bed high temperature gas cooled reactor exists, the fuel management information set is adjusted according to the demand information of the multi-module pebble bed high temperature gas cooled reactor of each unit in the plurality of units, and a first adjusted fuel management information set is acquired. Therefore, the spent fuel elements discharged from the first loading module reactor can be used for the nuclear fuel management of the transition process of the later loading module reactor, so as to reduce the amount of low enrichment fuel elements of the unit, improve the average discharge burnup, shorten the overall transition process time, and reduce the amount of spent fuel, thereby reducing the operation cost of the nuclear power plant.
[0107] In step S24, in the process of executing the fuel management information set, the fuel management information set is evaluated by using a safety evaluation method, wherein the fuel management information set includes first fuel management information, second fuel management information and third fuel management information;
[0108] For example, the related description can be as described above, which will not be repeated here.
[0109] In step S25, in a case where the evaluation result indicates that the operating parameters in the initial loading and transition process of the multi-module pebble bed high temperature gas cooled reactor meet the parameter requirements, the fuel management information set is continued to be executed;
[0110] For example, the related description can be as described above, which will not be repeated here.
[0111] According to some embodiments, the operating parameters include at least one of the operating maximum temperature, the accident maximum temperature and the single sphere power.
[0112] According to some embodiments, the parameter requirement can be a requirement for determining whether the fuel management information set can be continued to be executed, and the parameter requirement is not specific to a certain fixed requirement. For example, when the parameter threshold corresponding to the parameter requirement changes, the parameter requirement can also change accordingly.
[0113] According to some embodiments, in a case where the evaluation result indicates that the operation parameters in the initial loading and transition process of the multi-module pebble bed high temperature gas cooled reactor meet the parameter requirements, the fuel management information set is continued to be executed.
[0114] In step S26, in a case where the evaluation result indicates that the operation parameters in the initial loading and transition process of the multi-module pebble bed high temperature gas cooled reactor do not meet the parameter requirements, the fuel management information set is adjusted, and a second adjusted fuel management information set is obtained and executed.
[0115] For example, the relevant description can be as described above, which is not repeated here.
[0116] For example, the collected key parameters can be compared with the preset parameter threshold of the reactor. If each parameter does not exceed the preset parameter threshold, it is determined that the fuel management information set can be continued to be executed. If the preset parameter threshold is exceeded, the fuel management information set cannot be continued to be executed, and needs to be re-adjusted and evaluated. The key parameters include but are not limited to backup reactivity, shutdown margin, maximum operating temperature of fuel elements, maximum accident temperature of fuel elements, maximum burnup of fuel elements, reactivity control system value, single sphere power, power density, inlet and outlet temperature of primary coolant, etc.
[0117] According to some embodiments, in a case where the evaluation result indicates that the operation parameters in the initial loading and transition process of the multi-module pebble bed high temperature gas cooled reactor meet the parameter requirements, the fuel management information set is continued to be executed; in a case where the evaluation result indicates that the operation parameters in the initial loading and transition process of the multi-module pebble bed high temperature gas cooled reactor do not meet the parameter requirements, the fuel management information set is adjusted, and a second adjusted fuel management information set is obtained and executed. Therefore, it can be determined whether to adjust the fuel management information set through the evaluation information, which can improve the applicability and flexibility of nuclear fuel management and improve the matching of the fuel management information set and the multi-module pebble bed high temperature gas cooled reactor.
