Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nuclear fuel cladding damage testing technology, and in particular to a liquid metal reactor cladding breach gas release testing system. Background Technology
[0002] During nuclear power plant operation, fuel cladding may be damaged by various physicochemical factors such as abrasion and chemical corrosion. Fission products within the fuel rods can then enter the primary coolant through the breach, potentially increasing radiation dose levels for operation and maintenance personnel and even necessitating reactor shutdown for repairs. As the first line of defense against radioactive nuclides, the integrity monitoring of the fuel cladding is a crucial component of radiochemical technical specifications. If damage occurs, the extent of the damage and the severity of the accident must be assessed promptly based on monitoring data to determine whether a reactor shutdown is necessary. To accurately assess damage, extensive experiments are required to determine the relationship between the degree of damage and the monitoring indicator nuclides in the coolant. Currently, most international experiments are conducted on experimental reactors, with relatively fixed experimental variables, resulting in a lack of scalability. This is particularly true for liquid metal reactors, where the primary coolant temperature can reach up to 800°C depending on the medium. Simulation test benches for gas release behavior at cladding breaches in liquid metal reactors are key components, yet practical designs are currently scarce.
[0003] The published paper, "Study on the Release Law of Fission Gas from Cladding Gap to Coolant under Pressurized Water Reactor Cladding Failure Conditions," discloses a reactor cladding failure simulation experimental loop. This loop uses oxygen instead of fuel cladding to simulate the release of fission gas, and uses changes in oxygen concentration within the loop to simulate changes in fission gas concentration. The experimental loop consists of a degassing section, a pressurization section, an experimental section, a measurement section, and a main loop. The pressurization section is responsible for pressurizing and stabilizing the loop. Partial oxygen removal is performed in the degassing section to observe changes in oxygen concentration. Oxygen release is simulated in the experimental section to simulate fission gas release. The measurement section uses a dissolved oxygen meter to measure the released dissolved oxygen to simulate fission gas measurement. The main loop primarily uses pumps and heaters to achieve loop circulation and control of the loop medium temperature. However, the experimental circuit has the following shortcomings: (1) The experimental circuit uses oxygen instead of fuel cladding fission gas, and can only perform oxygen release and measurement, but cannot perform real fission gas component release behavior measurement; (2) The air intake device only mentions oxygen heating through the heating device in the simulated fuel rod, and cannot perform experimental gas mixing, heating and pressurization with different component ratios at the front end, so the working conditions of fission gas release in the fuel rod that can be simulated are limited; (3) The dissolved oxygen signal measurement process using the dissolved oxygen meter will be affected by gas current signal interference, and wavelet transformation is required to eliminate interference, so direct and real measurement results cannot be obtained; (4) Only nuclide release and migration experiments in water medium environment can be carried out, and cladding breakage release behavior simulation experiments in liquid metal medium environment cannot be carried out.

It is used to acquire measurement data and operating parameters from these devices and to control their start-up and shutdown.
[0037] The fission gas simulation uses non-radioactive krypton, xenon, and other gases.
[0038] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 The liquid metal supply device 1 includes an experimental tank 10, a heating unit 11, a stirring unit 12, and a first temperature measuring unit 13. The experimental tank 10 is used to store liquid metal during experiments; its outer surface can be covered with insulation material 101 for heat insulation. The heating unit 11 is placed inside the experimental tank 10 and is used to heat the liquid metal stored inside; the heating unit 11 can be, but is not limited to, a heating rod or a heater. The stirring unit 12 is placed inside the experimental tank 10 and is used to stir the liquid metal to create a flow state. The first temperature measuring unit 13 is disposed on the experimental tank 10 and is used to measure the temperature of the liquid metal inside the experimental tank 10. The first temperature measuring unit 13 may include a temperature measuring instrument.
[0039] Specifically, the heating body of the heating unit 11 can be placed inside the experimental tank 10 to be immersed in liquid metal. The connection end of the heating unit 11 is located at the end of the experimental tank 10 for connecting to an external power supply or connecting to the data acquisition and control system 5. The opening and closing of the heating unit 11 and the heating mode can be controlled by the data acquisition and control system 5. The stirring unit 12 includes a stirring rod and a stirring motor. The body of the stirring rod is immersed in liquid metal, and the joint of the stirring rod is installed on the top stirring interface of the experimental tank 10. The stirring motor is located on the outside of the top of the experimental tank 10, connected to and driving the stirring rod to rotate. The stirring blades at the lower end of the stirring rod are used to stir the liquid metal, simulating the flow of liquid metal with the same turbulence by stirring the liquid metal to form a flow. The stirring blades at the upper end of the stirring rod are used to stir the covering gas to ensure the uniformity of the sampled gas.
[0040] The experimental tank 10 is also equipped with a level gauge 14, which is used to monitor the liquid level of the experimental tank 10. The monitored height information can be sent to the data acquisition and control system 5.
[0041] The liquid metal supply device 1 further includes a liquid metal storage tank 15 and a gas compressor 16. The liquid metal storage tank 15 stores liquid metal and is connected to the experimental tank 10 via a pipe 17, allowing for the filling and emptying of the experimental tank 10 with liquid metal. A valve 18 is installed on the pipe 17 to control its opening and closing. The valve 18 is connected to a data acquisition and control system 5 and can be remotely controlled by the data acquisition and control system 5.
[0042] Similarly, heating rods or heaters can also be installed inside the experimental tank 10, for heating the liquid metal therein. The outer surface of the liquid metal storage tank 15 can be covered with insulation material for thermal insulation. The liquid metal storage tank 15 is also equipped with a level gauge to monitor its liquid level.

It is used to inject or discharge inert gas into the liquid metal storage tank 15 to change the liquid surface pressure in the liquid metal storage tank 15, thereby realizing the filling and discharging of liquid metal into the experimental tank 10.
[0044] Before the experiment, the liquid metal storage tank 15 supplies liquid metal to the experimental tank 10. Combined with the liquid level height monitored by the liquid level gauge 15 on the experimental tank 10, when the liquid metal in the experimental tank 10 reaches the specified height, the valve 18 on the pipeline 17 can be closed to maintain the liquid level height at a stable position.
[0045] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 3 The simulated breakage test device 2 may specifically include a simulated breakage test rod 21, a sealing heating rod 22, and a transmission mechanism 23.
[0046] The simulated breach test rod 21 is used to simulate a fuel rod with a breach; it is a hollow metal rod. A gas storage chamber 20 is formed inside the hollow interior of the simulated breach test rod 21. One end of the simulated breach test rod 21 has a simulated breach 211 simulating a breach in the casing. An air inlet 212 is provided on the side wall of the simulated breach test rod 21, and the simulated breach 211 and the air inlet 212 are respectively connected to the gas storage chamber 20.

The temperature monitoring unit 215 may include a temperature instrument or a temperature sensor, and the pressure monitoring unit 214 may include a pressure instrument or a pressure sensor.
[0048] A sealing heating rod 22 is inserted into the simulated rupture test rod 21 from the interface at the opposite end. The sealing heating rod 22 can move back and forth along the length of the gas storage chamber 20 within the chamber, so that the mating surface of the sealing heating rod 22 faces the simulated rupture 211, allowing it to fit against and close the simulated rupture 211. A high-temperature resistant sealing ring 213 is also provided between the mating surface of the sealing heating rod 22 and the stepped surface where the simulated rupture 211 is located to ensure a tight seal between them.
[0049] The sealing ring 213 is made of special ceramic fiber composite material, which can withstand temperatures up to 3000℃ and has excellent high temperature resistance, tensile strength, oxidation resistance, creep resistance and friction resistance.
[0050] Inside the gas storage chamber 20, there is a gap between the outer peripheral surface of the sealing heating rod 22 and the inner wall surface of the gas storage chamber 20, forming an annular cavity.
[0051] The sealed heating rod 22 is used to heat the gas storage chamber 20, thereby enabling the gas inside the gas storage chamber 20 to reach a preset experimental temperature. Specifically, the sealed heating rod 22 includes a hollow sealed rod body 221 and a heating rod 222 that passes through the sealed rod body 221 axially. The sealed rod body 221 has a first end and a second end opposite each other in the length direction. The first end of the sealed rod body 221 is located inside the gas storage chamber 20, and the end face of the first end forms a mating surface, which is directly opposite the simulated rupture 211. The opposite second end of the sealed rod body 221 is located outside the simulated rupture experimental rod 21 and is connected to the transmission mechanism 23.
[0052] The outer peripheral surface of the sealing rod 221 is provided with a raised sealing structure 223. The sealing structure 223 fits tightly with the inner wall of the gas storage chamber 20 to ensure the sealing between the sealing rod 221 and the simulated rupture test rod 21. The sealing structure 223 is located on the sealing rod 221 near its second end.
[0053] The connection end of the heating rod 222 is located at the second end of the sealing rod body 221, and its power cord is connected to the external power supply and data acquisition and control system 5.
[0054] The sealed heating rod 22 also includes a temperature instrument 224 for monitoring the temperature of the heating rod 222.
[0055] The transmission mechanism 23 is specifically connected to the sealing rod 221. By driving the sealing rod 221 to move back and forth within the gas storage chamber 20, it drives the entire sealing heating rod 22 to move. Driven by the transmission mechanism 23, the sealing heating rod 22 can move towards or away from the simulated rupture 211, closing or opening the simulated rupture 211.
[0056] In one embodiment, the transmission mechanism 23 includes a transmission rod 231 and a drive unit 232 that connects to and drives the transmission rod 231 to move back and forth in the axial direction. The transmission rod 231 is connected to the second end of the sealing rod body 221, and the drive unit 232 connects to and drives the transmission rod 231 to move back and forth in the axial direction, thereby causing the sealing heating rod 22 to move back and forth relative to the simulated rupture test rod 21 in the gas storage chamber 20.
[0057] The transmission mechanism 23 can be remotely controlled through the data acquisition and control system 5 to realize remote control of the opening and closing of the breach.
[0058] The experimental tank 10 of the liquid metal supply device 1 is equipped with an experimental rod interface on its top. The simulated breakage experimental device 2 is mainly inserted into the experimental rod interface with the end with the simulated breakage 211 facing the inside of the experimental tank 10. The air inlet 212 on the side wall of the simulated breakage experimental rod 21 is used to connect to the gas distribution device 3 and to send the gas provided by the gas distribution device 3 into the gas storage chamber 20.

The second temperature measuring unit 33 and the pressure measuring unit 34 are used to measure the temperature and pressure of the gas inside the gas storage tank 31, respectively. The obtained temperature and pressure information can be sent to the data acquisition and control system 5.

[0062] The pressurization mechanism 35 includes a pressurization pump, which is connected to the gas storage tank 31 through a pressurization pipeline and is capable of pressurizing the gas storage tank 31.
[0063] The gas inlet of the gas storage tank 31 is connected to the simulated breach test device 2 via a gas pipeline 36. A mass flow meter 37 may be installed on this gas pipeline to monitor and display the mass flow rate of the delivered gas. A gas valve 38 is also provided between the mass flow meter 37 and the gas storage tank 31 to control the magnitude of the gas mass flow rate and to control the opening and closing of the gas pipeline 36.
[0064] The gas distribution device 3 may further include at least one gas distribution tank 39, which is connected to the gas storage tank 31 via a gas distribution pipeline. The gas distribution pipeline is equipped with a valve to control the on / off state. One gas distribution tank 39 can store one type of gas; when an experiment requires a specific ratio of gas mixture, the corresponding gas distribution tank 39 delivers the corresponding type of gas to the gas storage tank 31 so that multiple gases are mixed in a specific ratio within the gas storage tank 31.
[0065] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 5 The sampling and measuring device 4 further includes a sampling unit 41 and a measuring unit 42. The sampling unit 41 is connected to the gas sampling interface of the liquid metal supply device 1 to perform gas sampling; the measuring unit 42 is connected to the sampling unit 41 to perform composition and / or radioactivity measurements on the gas sample.

The sampling pipeline 411 is mainly connected between the top gas intake port of the experimental tank 10 and the measuring unit 42. The sampling pump 412 on the sampling pipeline 411 divides the sampling pipeline 411 into an inlet pipe connected to the inlet end of the sampling pump 412 and an outlet pipe connected to the outlet end of the sampling pump 412. The heat exchanger 413 and the vapor-water separator 414 are both located on the outlet pipe and are used to achieve heat exchange and cooling of the sampled gas and drying of the sampled gas, respectively. A sampling valve 415 and a sampling mass flow meter 416 are installed on the inlet pipe. The gas sampling valve 415 is used for the closing control of the main gas sampling switch. The sampling mass flow meter 416 is used to monitor and display the mass flow rate of the delivered sampling gas.
