Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of nuclear reactor physics calculations, and in particular to a method and apparatus for calculating the equivalent neutron diffusion coefficient of a pebble bed type high-temperature gas-cooled reactor cavity. Background Technology
[0002] Neutron physics calculations for pebble-bed high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) cores employ diffusion calculations. However, the upper part of a pebble-bed HTGR contains a cavity region. Within this region, the approximations used in the neutron diffusion equations introduce larger errors, affecting the accuracy of HTGR physics calculations. Diffusion coefficients generated using traditional methods and core neutron diffusion calculations offer good accuracy for pressurized water reactors (PWRs), supporting the design and operation of existing PWR nuclear power plants. However, HTGRs have unique design characteristics, employing helium cooling and featuring a cavity region in the upper part of the core. The neutron diffusion equations rely on several approximations, one of which is the assumption of an "infinitely homogeneous medium." This makes calculation errors from fuel to the cavity region more pronounced, impacting the accuracy of HTGR calculations. Summary of the Invention

Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.
[0027] The following describes, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a method and apparatus for calculating the equivalent neutron diffusion coefficient of a pebble bed type high-temperature gas-cooled reactor cavity according to embodiments of this application.
[0028] It should be noted that the execution subject of the pebble bed type high temperature gas-cooled reactor cavity equivalent neutron diffusion coefficient calculation method in this application embodiment can be a pebble bed type high temperature gas-cooled reactor cavity equivalent neutron diffusion coefficient calculation device. This device can be implemented by software and / or hardware. This device can be configured in an electronic device, which may include, but is not limited to, a terminal, a server, etc.
[0029] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating the method for calculating the equivalent neutron diffusion coefficient of a pebble bed type high-temperature gas-cooled reactor cavity provided in an embodiment of this application. In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the pebble bed high-temperature gas-cooled reactor is in a clean reactor state (without control rods and absorber spheres). The pebble bed high-temperature gas-cooled reactor includes a dry graphite sphere region 201 at the bottom of the pebble bed, a mixed sphere region 202 of fuel spheres and graphite spheres at the top of the pebble bed, and a cavity region 203 at the top of the pebble bed. Figure 1As shown, the method for calculating the equivalent neutron diffusion coefficient of the cavity in this pebble bed type high-temperature gas-cooled reactor may include the following steps.
[0030] In step 101, the neutron diffusion equation for the cavity region under two-dimensional RZ cylindrical geometry is determined based on the geometric characteristics of the pebble bed type high-temperature gas-cooled reactor.
[0031] For example, for such Figure 2 The geometric characteristics of the pebble bed high-temperature gas-cooled reactor shown allow us to derive the neutron diffusion equation for the cavity region under a two-dimensional RZ cylindrical geometry. As an example, the formula for this neutron diffusion equation for the cavity region under this two-dimensional RZ cylindrical geometry is as follows:
[0032]
[0033] Among them, D z D is the axial diffusion coefficient of the cavity region. r denoted as , where is the radial diffusion coefficient of the cavity region; r is the radial position coordinate; and z is the axial position coordinate. denoted as neutron flux density.
[0034] In step 102, the neutron flux density is expanded using Taylor expansion based on the neutron diffusion equation of the cavity region under two-dimensional RZ cylindrical geometry, resulting in the Taylor expansion of the neutron flux density.
[0035] In some embodiments, based on the neutron diffusion equation for the cavity region under two-dimensional RZ cylindrical geometry, the interface between the cavity region and the hybrid sphere region can be selected as the expansion point to perform a Taylor expansion of the neutron flux density, resulting in a Taylor expansion of the neutron flux density. For example, based on the neutron diffusion equation for the cavity region under two-dimensional RZ cylindrical geometry, a Taylor expansion of the neutron flux density is performed at the cavity boundary to obtain a Taylor expansion of the neutron flux density, which is expressed as follows:
[0036]
[0037] in, Neutron flux density; This is the zeroth-order term in the Taylor expansion of the neutron flux density; This is a first-order term in the Taylor expansion of the neutron flux density; This is the second-order term in the Taylor expansion of the neutron flux density.
[0038] In step 103, the Taylor expansion of the neutron flux density is substituted into the diffusion solution and transport integral analytical solution of the net neutron flux at the cavity surface, respectively.
[0039] In some embodiments, the Taylor expansion of the neutron flux density is substituted into the diffusion solution of the net neutron flux at the cavity surface to obtain the expression for the net neutron flux under diffusion theory; the Taylor expansion of the neutron flux density is substituted into the analytical solution of the transport integral of the net neutron flux at the cavity surface to obtain the expression for the net neutron flux under transport theory.
[0040] As an example, the diffusion solution of net neutron flux at a cavity surface is expressed as follows:
[0041]
[0042] The analytical solution for the transport integral of the net neutron flow at the cavity surface is expressed as follows:
[0043] j trans (r)=∫ 4π ψ(r,Ω)ΩdΩ
[0044] Where, j diff The diffusion solution for the net neutron flux at the cavity surface; j trans ψ(r,Ω) is the analytical solution of the transport integral of the net neutron flux on the cavity surface; r is the spatial variable; Ω is the angular variable; and ψ(r,Ω) is the neutron angular flux density.
[0045] In step 104, the diffusion solution and transport integral analytical solution of the net neutron flow on the cavity surface are compared with similar terms to obtain the calculation formulas for the axial diffusion coefficient and the radial diffusion coefficient of the cavity region.
[0046] In some embodiments, the diffusion solution and transport integral analytical solution of the net neutron flow on the cavity surface are matched with similar terms based on Taylor expansion, and the coefficients of the same power are made equal to establish equations for the axial diffusion coefficient and the radial diffusion coefficient. Solving the equations for the axial diffusion coefficient and the radial diffusion coefficient yields the calculation formulas for the axial diffusion coefficient and the radial diffusion coefficient of the cavity region.
[0047] For example, performing similar operations means rearranging the analytical solutions for the diffusion and transport integrals of the net neutron flow according to the same power of the independent variable (position coordinates (r, z)), making the coefficients of corresponding terms equal. Since the focus is on the equivalent diffusion coefficient, the diffusion coefficient (including the axial and radial diffusion coefficients) needs to be analytically derived from these equations. As an example, the expression for the axial diffusion coefficient of the cavity region is as follows:
[0048]
[0049] The formula for calculating the radial diffusion coefficient of the cavity region is as follows:
[0050]
[0051] Where R is the radius of the cavity region; H is the height of the cavity region; and h is the height-to-diameter ratio of the cavity region.
[0052] For example, since the diffusion solution of the net neutron flux at the cavity surface incorporates the Taylor expansion of the neutron flux density, the diffusion solution j of the net neutron flux at the cavity surface... diff It will be expressed as a polynomial, including the Taylor expansion coefficients and diffusion coefficients (including axial and radial diffusion coefficients). Since the analytical solution of the transport integral of the net neutron flux at the cavity surface incorporates the Taylor expansion of the neutron flux density, the analytical solution of the transport integral of the net neutron flux at the cavity surface will also be expressed as a polynomial, including the Taylor expansion coefficients and geometric parameters (such as R, H, etc.). Because the net neutron flux should be equal at the cavity surface (i.e., the net neutron flux under the diffusion approximation should be equal to the net neutron flux under the more accurate transport theory), we can let: j diff (r)=j trans By rearranging both sides into polynomial form with respect to the position coordinates (r, z), and then comparing the coefficients of the same power, equations for the axial diffusion coefficient and the radial diffusion coefficient can be established. Solving these equations yields the formulas for calculating the axial diffusion coefficient and the radial diffusion coefficient of the cavity region.
[0053] The inventor targeted Figure 2 The pebble bed high-temperature gas-cooled reactor model shown was compared and verified using both conventional methods and the method designed in this application's embodiment. This pebble bed high-temperature gas-cooled reactor model was a clean reactor (without control rods and absorber spheres). The bottom of the pebble bed (excluding the unloading pipe) was pre-loaded with approximately 232,000 dry graphite spheres to a height of 605 cm. These were then topped with a 275 cm high mixture of fuel spheres (7:8 ratio of 4.2% enriched fuel spheres and graphite spheres). All spheres in the mixture region contained 600 ppm of water in their graphite. The effective neutron multiplication factor of the reactor core was compared at this point. Table 1 below shows that the deviations of the calculation method in this application's embodiment were 20 pcm and -8 pcm, respectively, for the two examples at 30°C vacuum and 30°C saturated air, which are very close to the reference solution, proving the feasibility and correctness of the method for handling the upper cavity problem of the pebble bed.

This can solve the problem that the calculation error from fuel to cavity region becomes prominent due to the assumption of "infinite homogeneous medium" in traditional methods, thereby improving the accuracy of calculation and analysis of pebble bed high-temperature gas-cooled reactors.
