Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a technology in the field of reactor control, specifically a hardware-in-the-loop device for multi-physics coupling of pressurized water reactor core oxidation corrosion product deposition. Background Technology

[0002] Due to the high temperature, high pressure, and high radioactivity within nuclear reactors, it is impossible to directly analyze the multi-physics coupling processes involved in the deposition of core oxidation and corrosion products, or the deposition mechanism of these products, through in-reactor measurements. Currently, the most representative research method is offline characterization, which involves extracting fuel assemblies from the reactor core for external cooling and oxidation, cutting the cladding, and preparing samples of the oxidation and corrosion product deposition layer for microscopic characterization by electron microscopy (SEM) and elemental analysis by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Based on this, the deposition mechanism of oxidation and corrosion products on the cladding, and the influence of oxidation and corrosion product deposition on cladding heat transfer and elemental distribution, can be deduced through data transfer between individual physical fields. However, the aforementioned data transfer method between individual physical fields cannot realize the multi-physics coupling processes involved in the deposition of oxidation and corrosion products. Furthermore, since the solubility of the materials constituting the oxide corrosion product deposition layer (such as NiO, NiFe2O4 and Li2B4O7) is closely related to temperature, the deposition layer materials may dissolve or precipitate again during the preparation of oxide corrosion product deposition layer samples, leading to deviations in the measurement of oxide corrosion product deposition and element migration behavior. Therefore, it is impossible to accurately analyze the deposition mechanism of oxide corrosion products in the reactor core. Summary of the Invention

[0029] The neutron spectrometer 1, the preheater 2, the centrifugal pump 3, the heat exchanger 4 and the pressure stabilizer 5 constitute an analog reactor coolant loop; the plate heat exchanger 7, the injection pump 8, the water chemical instrument box 9, the precursor 10, the boron-containing water 11, the lithium-containing water 12 constitute an upper charging and lower discharging loop of the chemical control system, control the temperature of the coolant, and regulate the concentration of boron, lithium and oxidized corrosion products in the loop.

[0030] Due to the strict water chemical control of the pressurized water reactor, the deposition of oxidized corrosion products on the surface of the fuel cladding is a long solute migration process. Due to the dependence of the online test technology of prompt gamma activation on the experimental reactor resources, the matching element online test system needs to accelerate the deposition of oxidized corrosion products.

[0031] The accelerated deposition refers to: Fe and Ni suspended particles are prepared by using ammonium iron sulfate dodecahydrate, tetramethylammonium hydroxide and nickel chloride hexahydrate, and soluble Fe and Ni are synthesized by using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, ammonia water, ultra-fine Fe powder and nickel hydroxide. Heavy water is used as a solvent for dissolving oxidized corrosion products (high-transmission neutron solvent) to reduce the interference with the neutron beam and realize online measurement of elements. The Helgeson-Kirkham-Flowers equation is used to obtain the Gibbs free energy of multiple components in heavy water under high temperature and high pressure, so as to determine the reaction equilibrium constant. The stable phase distribution of Fe and Ni is determined through the chemical equilibrium of the Gibbs free energy minimization of the multi-component solute-solvent system, so as to adjust the ratio of soluble Fe and Ni to suspended particles, dissolve the soluble Fe and Ni meeting the target ratio into the heavy water solvent, and then add chemical reagents containing B, Li and other elements to complete the preparation of the high-concentration and high-transmission oxidized corrosion product deposition precursor.

[0032] The Helgeson-Kirkham-Flowers equation is as follows: wherein: is the correction value of the Gibbs generation free energy under the target temperature T (K) and the target pressure P (bar), and The reference temperature and the reference pressure are respectively 298.15 K and 1 bar, The Gibbs free energy of formation at the reference temperature and the reference pressure, The absolute entropy value at the reference temperature and the reference pressure, The solvent pressure parameter is 2600 bar; The solvent temperature parameter is 228 K. , , And The volume integral constant; And The specific heat integral constant; The Born constant; The dielectric constant of water; The Born function, usually .

The content of Fe, Ni and B is determined by measuring the intensity of the characteristic gamma rays, and the thickness of the oxidation corrosion product deposition layer is determined by the total amount of Fe and Ni elements, so as to analyze the deposition mechanism of the oxidation corrosion product. By detecting the intensity of the characteristic gamma rays and 10 The content of the boron element can be determined by the abundance of B, so as to provide reference data for the neutron cross section database calculation of the power distribution unit in the axial power offset digital mirror system.

[0036] As shown in Figure 4The axial power offset digital mirror system comprises a power distribution unit and a heating unit, wherein: the power distribution unit obtains three-dimensional axial power distribution information of the fuel rod by high-resolution neutron algorithm combined with deposition layer element distribution as cross-section input information of neutron flux; and the heating unit controls the cladding surface heat flow in real time according to the power distribution information calculated by the digital mirror system.

[0037] The power distribution unit constructs a multi-dimensional multi-group neutron cross-section database by using a background grid mixed layer cross-section homogenization method based on the deposition layer element distribution of the oxidation corrosion product obtained by the prompt gamma activation analysis. By introducing the simplification of mixed materials, the axial cells of the deposition layer with different thicknesses are described by using the same set of finite element grids, the physical parameters between the axial grids are directly mapped, the quality of the finite element grid is improved without the need for circumferential encryption, and the precision loss of high-fidelity simulation caused by the complete homogenization of the deposition layer and the background material is avoided. On the basis of the background grid method, the full-order matrix equation representing the neutron balance relationship inside the finite element block and the neutron continuity relationship on the block surface is obtained according to the variational principle. A data-driven proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) reduction algorithm is used to construct a reduced-order model of neutron transport simulation in a certain parameter space. On this basis, the prediction model between the parameters and the coefficients is obtained by using linear interpolation, Gaussian process regression, decision tree, neural network and other methods. The trained prediction model and the reduced-order basis are used to accelerate the above full-order model, and the three-dimensional power distribution of the fuel rod under different oxidation corrosion product deposition layer thicknesses is quickly predicted.

[0038] The full-order matrix equation is specifically: , , , , , is a response matrix.

[0039] The heating unit adopts a distributed heating ring with a spatial resolution of 10 mm to real-time regulate the axial heat flux density. A special Bragg (FBG) optical fiber made of an ultraviolet writing grating and a polyimide coating layer is used to realize quasi-three-dimensional measurement of the cladding temperature, and the cladding surface temperature boundary under the axial power offset is accurately obtained. Based on the element distribution obtained by the prompt gamma activation technology, combined with the axial power distribution of the power distribution unit, the independent dynamic control of the axial power of the heating unit is realized, and according to the cladding wall temperature and the oxidation corrosion product deposition layer thickness information, the mechanism analysis of the oxidation corrosion product deposition in the pressurized water reactor core is realized.
