DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0054] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and drawings, and the illustrative embodiments of the application and the description thereof are only used to explain the application, and do not limit the application.

[0055] The existing fuel assembly loss of coolant accident analysis method is not suitable for the self-innovated new fuel assembly, and there are problems of inaccurate loss of coolant accident analysis and low efficiency. The application is suitable for the self-innovated new fuel assembly, and how to obtain a suitable loss of coolant accident analysis program, how to optimize the analysis process based on the existing loss of coolant accident analysis method to obtain the conservative cladding peak temperature, cladding oxidation rate, hydrogen production share, etc., so as to evaluate the safety performance of the self-innovated new fuel assembly under the accident condition.

[0056] Unlike the previous fuel and the fuel assembly developed by the United States, the self-innovated CF series fuel assembly is different in the design of the lower nozzle and the cladding material. On the basis of the conventional large-break loss of coolant accident analysis, the application makes the following optimizations for the self-innovated new fuel assembly:

[0057] (I) Optimization of analysis process

[0058] The research shows that the highest cladding peak temperature PCT appears in different working conditions and the maximum oxidation rate OXI appears in different working conditions in the lifetime of the localized new fuel assembly in the large break loss of water accident, and therefore, the analysis needs to be carried out respectively for the two parameters. The previous loss of water accident analysis process generally includes: system sensitivity analysis, break spectrum sensitivity analysis, burnup sensitivity analysis and power distribution sensitivity analysis. For the localized new fuel assembly, the system sensitivity analysis process and the break spectrum sensitivity analysis process remain the same as those of other fuel assemblies, but the burnup sensitivity analysis process and the power distribution sensitivity analysis process are optimized. That is, the localized new fuel assembly loss of water accident analysis method of the application mainly involves the burnup sensitivity analysis and the power distribution sensitivity analysis.

[0059] (II) Optimization of analysis program and analysis model

[0060] The localized new fuel assembly loss of water accident analysis recommends using a conservative analysis program, for example: ARSAC. Based on this, the application optimizes the program and the key model in combination with the characteristics of the localized new fuel assembly. Specifically, it includes: establishing a new expanded cladding material property module, establishing a solidified fuel assembly inter-radiation heat transfer module, and implanting a cladding swelling and rupture module suitable for the localized new fuel assembly.

[0061] Embodiment 1

[0062] As shown in Figure 1 , the localized new fuel assembly loss of water accident analysis method of the application, the method includes:

[0063] Step 1: Select the system parameters and the break size of the reactor, calculate the maximum cladding peak temperature for different lifetimes according to the influence of different lifetime initial oxidation film thickness, initial internal pressure and gap width and other parameters, and obtain the lifetime A corresponding to the maximum cladding peak temperature, at the same time, calculate the maximum oxidation film thickness for different lifetimes, and obtain the lifetime B corresponding to the maximum oxidation film thickness;

[0064] Step 2: Take the lifetime A as the target lifetime, change the axial power distribution of the localized new fuel assembly to perform the loss of water accident analysis, obtain the final maximum cladding peak temperature, and obtain the increased oxidation film thickness in the loss of water accident process; add the increased oxidation film thickness to the initial oxidation film thickness of the lifetime A to obtain the maximum oxidation film thickness ;

[0065] Step 3: Take the lifetime B as the target lifetime, change the axial power distribution of the localized new fuel assembly to perform the loss of water accident analysis, obtain multiple oxidation film thicknesses increased in the loss of water accident process under different power conditions, and select the maximum one from them and add the initial oxidation film thickness of the lifetime B to obtain the maximum oxidation film thickness ;

[0066] Step 4, comparing the maximum oxide film thickness and the maximum oxide film thickness , taking the larger value as the final maximum oxide film thickness;

[0067] Step 5, comparing the final maximum cladding peak temperature and the final maximum oxide film thickness with the corresponding preset threshold values respectively, and analyzing whether there is a safety hazard under the loss of coolant accident.

[0068] In this embodiment, step 1 is mainly aimed at the new domestic fuel assembly to carry out burnup sensitivity analysis on the highest cladding peak temperature PCT parameter and to carry out burnup sensitivity analysis on the maximum oxide film thickness OXI. Among them, the new domestic fuel assembly refers to the fuel assembly with N36 cladding material.

[0069] Specifically, the system parameters of the reactor refer to the parameters with relatively high average temperature, relatively high pressure and relatively low pressurizer water level.

[0070] Specifically, step 1 includes:

[0071] Step 11, calculating the maximum cladding peak temperature for different service lives and obtaining the service life A corresponding to the maximum cladding peak temperature, including:

[0072] calculating the cladding peak temperature PCTBLX corresponding to the initial service life BLX, the cladding peak temperature PCTEOC1 corresponding to the end of the first cycle EOC1, the cladding peak temperature PCTEOC2 corresponding to the end of the second cycle EOC2 and the cladding peak temperature PCTEOC3 corresponding to the end of the third cycle EOC3 in turn;

[0073] selecting the maximum cladding peak temperature from the cladding peak temperature PCTBLX, the cladding peak temperature PCTEOC1, the cladding peak temperature PCTEOC2 and the cladding peak temperature PCTEOC3 as the maximum cladding peak temperature; and obtaining the service life corresponding to the maximum cladding peak temperature and taking it as the service life A.

[0074] Step 12, calculating the maximum oxide film thickness for different service lives and obtaining the service life B corresponding to the maximum oxide film thickness, including:

[0075] obtaining the hot rod wall temperature of the initial service life BLX, the end of the first cycle EOC1, the end of the second cycle EOC2 and the end of the third cycle EOC3 in turn, because the hot rod wall temperature changes with time;

[0076] The hot rod wall temperature is taken as the input of the BAKER-JUST model, and the oxide film thickness increase at the hot spot position of the hot rod during the loss of coolant accident process is calculated based on the BAKER-JUST model at four service lives (service life initial BLX, first cycle end EOC1, second cycle end EOC2, and third cycle end EOC3), respectively: ΔσBLX, ΔσEOC1, ΔσEOC2, and ΔσEOC3.

[0077] The oxide film thickness of each service life is added to the corresponding initial oxide film maximum thickness (assuming that the initial oxide film maximum thicknesses of the four service lives BLX, EOC1, EOC2, and EOC3 at the beginning of the loss of coolant accident are 0, σEOC1, σEOC2, and σEOC3, respectively), to obtain the oxide film thickness of each service life, respectively: σBLX'=ΔσBLX, σEOC1'=σEOC1+ΔσEOC1, σEOC2'=σEOC2+ΔσEOC2, and σEOC3'=σEOC3+ΔσEOC3.

[0078] The maximum oxide film thickness is selected from the oxide film thicknesses of the service lives, and the service life corresponding to the maximum oxide film thickness is obtained and taken as the service life B.

[0079] In this embodiment, step 2 specifically includes:

[0080] Step 21, taking service life A as the target service life, changing the axial power distribution of the localized new fuel assembly (different power peak positions, different axial segment power distribution) to perform the loss of coolant accident analysis.

[0081] Step 22, obtaining the cladding peak temperatures PCT1, PCT2, PCT3,..., PCTN of service life A under different power distributions after the loss of coolant accident analysis, and selecting the maximum cladding peak temperature as the final maximum cladding peak temperature PCTMAX.

[0082] Step 23, based on the BAKER-JUST model, the oxide film thickness increased during the loss of coolant process is calculated for the working condition where the final maximum cladding peak temperature appears.

[0083] Step 24, adding the increased oxide film thickness to the initial oxide film thickness of the first service life to obtain the first maximum oxide film thickness .

[0084] In this embodiment, step 3 specifically includes:

[0085] Step 31, taking the service life B as a target service life, performing a loss of coolant accident analysis by changing the axial power distribution (different power peak positions, different axial segment power share distributions) of the localized new fuel assembly; the axial power distribution includes different power peak positions and different axial segment power share distributions;

[0086] Step 32, based on the BAKER-JUST model calculation, obtaining a plurality of maximum oxidation film thicknesses increased during the loss of coolant process under different power conditions, respectively Δσ1, Δσ2, Δσ3,..., ΔσN; and selecting the maximum oxidation film thickness from them and adding the initial oxidation film thickness of the service life B to obtain the maximum oxidation film thickness .

[0087] In this embodiment, since the target service life A and the target service life B obtained in step 1 are generally different, the maximum oxidation film thickness is not equal to . Finally, for the localized new fuel assembly, the highest PCT is PCTMAX obtained in step 2, by comparing the values of the first maximum oxidation film thickness and the second maximum oxidation film thickness, and taking the larger value as the final maximum oxidation film thickness max 、 ).

[0088] In this embodiment, step 5 compares the final maximum cladding peak temperature and the final maximum oxidation film thickness with the corresponding preset threshold values, respectively. If at least one of them exceeds the corresponding preset threshold value, it means that there is a safety hazard under the loss of coolant accident; otherwise, there is no safety hazard under the loss of coolant accident.

[0089] Embodiment 2

[0090] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the method of the application is based on the design characteristics of the localized new fuel assembly cladding and related experimental results, on the basis of the existing loss of coolant accident analysis program (for example, ARSAC), to establish a new expanded cladding material property module, a solidified fuel assembly inter-radiation heat transfer module and a fuel assembly cladding swelling and rupture module, and to form an analysis program ARSAC-CF suitable for the localized new fuel assembly loss of coolant accident.

[0091] First, the expanded cladding material property module

[0092] Since the localized new fuel cladding is different from the traditional M5, ZR4, etc., for example, the N36 cladding adopts a zirconium-tin-niobium alloy, therefore, the material property module should be increased in combination with the experimental results of the material properties of the localized new fuel cladding. The functions performed by the material property module are as follows:

[0093] (1) It can calculate the thermal conductivity k of the new cladding at different temperatures;

[0094] (2) Can calculate the new type of cladding specific heat capacity pCp at different temperatures;

[0095] (3) Can calculate the emissivity of the new type of cladding under the condition of oxidation film and without oxidation film.

[0096] The above property modules should strictly refer to experimental results, and the temperature range of the cladding thermal conductivity and the cladding specific heat capacity should cover the temperature range of the cladding during the loss of coolant accident; The oxidation rate range obtained by converting the dependent variable oxidation film thickness in the emissivity calculation should cover the range of 0~17%.

[0097] In the above technical solution, the newly added expanded cladding material property module is for the new type of domestic fuel assembly, and the difference between the existing ARSAC and the corresponding property module for other fuel assemblies is that the density, thermal expansion coefficient, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, emissivity, and Poisson ratio are all functions of temperature.

[0098] Second, establish the solidified fuel assembly inter-radiation heat transfer module

[0099] Currently, the system analysis program at home and abroad is inefficient in calculating the inter-radiation heat transfer of the assembly, mainly reflected in that the user needs to carry out a lot of geometric customization, emissivity setting, and View Fator setting work when modeling.

[0100] For the new type of domestic fuel assembly, a relatively solidified fuel assembly inter-radiation heat transfer module is newly established in the conservative loss of coolant accident analysis program thermal component module. The core elements of this analysis module are as follows:

[0101] (1) According to the design features of the new type of domestic fuel assembly and the modeling requirements of the loss of coolant accident, four independent arrays with consistent dimensions are formed: Array 1 is the heat rod radiation heat transfer array, which stores the radiation heat transfer amount of the heat rod at each axial position and the heat assembly; Array 2 is the heat assembly radiation heat transfer amount 1, which stores the radiation heat transfer amount of the heat assembly at each axial position and the heat rod; Array 3 is the heat assembly radiation heat transfer amount 2, which stores the radiation heat transfer amount of the heat assembly at each axial position and the average assembly; Array 4 is the average assembly radiation heat transfer amount, which stores the radiation heat transfer amount of the average assembly at each axial position and the heat assembly;

[0102] (2) Core calculation module. Determine the oxidation state of the cladding surface according to the life state, and then determine the emissivity; determine the View Fator of each axial position of the thermal rod and each axial position of the thermal assembly, the View Fator of each axial position of the thermal assembly and each axial position of the thermal rod, the View Fator of each axial position of the thermal assembly and the average assembly, and the View Fator of each axial position of the average assembly and each axial position of the thermal assembly according to the user modeling data characteristics; obtain the difference between the fourth powers of the wall surface temperatures of the thermal rod, the thermal assembly, and the average assembly obtained by the last time step loss-of-coolant accident analysis. The radiation heat transfer amount between different axial positions calculated by the above three factors (emissivity, View Fator, and temperature fourth power difference) is stored in the array in the last core element;

[0103] (3) Activation module. For new fuel assemblies, whether to consider the inter-assembly radiation heat transfer at the current axial position needs to be determined by the void fraction size at this axial position. Only when the void fraction is greater than 0.8 and the cladding surface temperature is greater than 600°C, the module is activated;

[0104] (4) Data interaction module. The data transmission between the new module and other modules of the system program mainly includes: the new module needs to transfer the calculated radiation heat transfer amount to the thermal component module, the heat transfer amount of array 1 is included in the total heat transfer amount of the thermal rod, the heat transfer amount of array 2 and array 3 is included in the total heat transfer amount of the thermal assembly, and the heat transfer amount of array 4 is included in the total heat transfer amount of the average assembly. The new module needs to read the cladding wall surface temperature information and the oxidation film thickness information from the thermal component module of the system program at the last time step, and read the void fraction information from the system hydraulics module at the last time step.

[0105] After the fuel assembly inter-radiation heat transfer module is enabled, the four-dimensional independent arrays described in (1) are first generated, then the cladding wall surface temperature information and the oxidation film thickness information at the last time step are read from the thermal component module of the system program through the data interaction module of (4), the void fraction information at the last time step is read from the system hydraulics module, the condition of whether the void fraction is greater than 0.8 and the cladding surface temperature is greater than 600°C is determined by the activation module (3), when the condition is met, the core calculation module (2) is enabled to calculate the radiation heat transfer amount, and the radiation heat transfer amount is stored in the array established in (1), finally the stored radiation heat transfer amount is transmitted to the thermal component module of the system analysis program through the data interaction module (4).

[0106] Third, implanting a new fuel assembly cladding swelling and rupture model

[0107] The swelling and rupture model is used to estimate the time of fuel failure and the blockage effect on the flow channel after the failure. Since the strain rate of the new fuel assembly is a function of temperature, which is obtained from the strain rate experiment between 500℃ and 1000℃, the swelling and rupture model should be optimized by the fitting results. The strain rate of the new fuel assembly is an exponential function of temperature, and the exponential interpolation method is used to obtain the strain rate at different temperatures.

[0108] The data transfer relationship between the model and the original system analysis program is that the original system analysis program transfers the fuel cladding temperature, fuel rod internal pressure, fluid temperature and pressure, etc. to the new swelling and rupture model. The burst time and blockage rate calculated by the new swelling and rupture model are transferred to the hydraulic calculation module and the thermal component calculation module of the original system analysis program.

[0109] When the fuel swells and ruptures, on the one hand, the flow resistance will increase due to the blockage of the flow channel, and on the other hand, the heat transfer effect will be enhanced due to the change of the flow channel shape. Currently, there is no experimental study on the change of the heat transfer enhancement effect with the blockage rate. If the heat transfer enhancement factor is obtained in the future research, it can be supplemented to the swelling and rupture module as a method of safety margin for loss of coolant accident analysis.

[0110] In specific implementation, the specific operation process of the loss of coolant accident analysis of the new domestic fuel assembly is as follows:

[0111] Based on the conservative loss of coolant accident analysis program ARSAC, combined with the design characteristics of the new domestic fuel assembly cladding and the related experimental results, the new physical property module is established, the solidified assembly radiation heat transfer module is established, and the new fuel cladding swelling and rupture module is established. Form the loss of coolant accident analysis program ARSAC-CF suitable for domestic self-reliance fuel;

[0112] The ARSAC-CF program is tested and verified in all directions, including the functions of the three new modules, the data transfer function between the new modules and the original program, and the improved ability of the program to simulate the loss of coolant accident;

[0113] The optimized program is used to carry out the loss of coolant accident analysis for the new domestic self-reliance fuel assembly. The specific steps are as follows:

[0114] (1) Carry out system sensitivity analysis;

[0115] (2) Carry out break spectrum sensitivity analysis;

[0116] (3) Carry out burnup sensitivity analysis for the maximum cladding peak temperature parameter and the maximum cladding oxidation rate parameter, respectively;

[0117] (4) Perform power distribution sensitivity analysis for the maximum cladding peak temperature parameter and the maximum cladding oxidation rate parameter, respectively. Finally, select the maximum cladding peak temperature and the maximum cladding oxidation rate according to the requirements.
