Background technology
As energy cleaning, safety, environmental protection, nuclear energy power generation is all significant for alleviating the world and various countries' energy security and Global climate change problem.Though passed through three miles islands of the U.S. and USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) Chernobyl Plant accident setback, people are still safer at active development, the better nuclear energy power generation technology of economy.At present, third generation nuclear power technology is mature on the whole.
In the 4th generation of technology such as nuclear energy system of researching and developing, high temperature gas cooled reactor can realize very high outlet temperature, has the hot deliverability of high generating efficiency and high-grade, has caused people's extensive concern.
High temperature gas cooled reactor adopts ceramic mould coated particle fuel element, and helium is as cooling medium, and graphite is made moderator, and core exit temperature can reach 700 ℃, until 950~1000 ℃.High temperature gas cooled reactor is the good heap type of a kind of security performance, this be because: 1) You Yi fuel element performance; 2) thermal capacity of graphite core is big; 3) FR negative reactivity temperature coefficient; 4) helium coolant is an inert gas, and chemical stability is good, can not undergo phase transition.
KLAK system is second reactor shut-off system of high temperature gas cooled reactor, cooperates with the control rod system in the high temperature gas cooled reactor operational process, plays shutdown and the effect of regulating operate power.Its principle of work is that when normal shutdown or emergency shut-down, the absorption ball falls into the absorption ball duct of reactor, utilizes in the boron carbide 10The intercept neutrons characteristic of B, the chain reaction of intercept neutrons and then prevention reactor, the shutdown of realization response heap; When reactor need start, absorb ball and arrive in the ball-storing tank of reactor roof by gas delivery, make it to be in stand-by state.
According to the applying working condition that absorbs ball, requiring to absorb ball has good abrasion resistance properties and thermal shock resistance, simultaneously and between the graphite duct good matching is arranged.Pure boron carbide ball 10B content height, the neutron absorptive character are good, but easily wearing and tearing caused in the graphite duct.Therefore need a kind of neutron absorption ball that possesses the wearing and tearing between neutron absorption, improvement absorption ball and duct and have good thermal-shock resistance.The design of kernel and shell structurre on the neutron absorption ball structure, when can reach the neutron absorption ball key property, help improving abrasion resistance properties, thermal shock resistance and the mechanical property of neutron absorption ball, reduce hydroscopicity, neutron absorption ball wearing and tearing are in use reduced, increase the service life.
Summary of the invention
(1) technical matters that will solve

(2) technical scheme
For achieving the above object, the present invention proposes a kind of neutron absorption ball structure, this neutron absorption ball is made up of kernel and the shell that is coated on core surface.
Wherein, kernel comprises matrix material and neutron-absorbing material, and neutron-absorbing material is evenly distributed in the matrix material.
Wherein, matrix material is a carbon materials.
Wherein, neutron-absorbing material is a boron carbide.
Wherein, the material of shell is pyrolytic carbon or pottery.
Wherein, pottery is a kind of in silicon nitride, silit, titanium carbide, titanium nitride or the zirconium dioxide.
Wherein, shell adopts chemical vapour deposition technique (CVD) preparation.
Wherein, the material of shell is a pyrolytic carbon, and adopting chemical vapour deposition technique to prepare the used source of the gas of pyrolytic carbon is a kind of gas in methane, acetylene, ethene and the propylene or the mixed gas of any several gases.
(3) beneficial effect
Technique scheme of the present invention has following advantage:
1, neutron absorption ball material selection of the present invention carbon materials be matrix material, select for use boron carbide as neutron-absorbing material simultaneously, compatibility is good between each component of neutron absorption ball, and physical and chemical performance is stable.Carbon materials can guarantee that as matrix material neutron absorption ball has good thermal shock resistance.
2, the core surface of neutron absorption ball of the present invention coats one deck shell, and this structural design improves neutron absorption ball abrasion resistance properties and mechanical property, thereby reduces neutron absorption ball wearing and tearing in use, increases the service life.Fine and close simultaneously coating shell can also reduce the hydroscopicity of neutron absorption ball, reduces the influence that aqueous vapor is used neutron absorption ball.
