Specific embodiment
The present invention provides a kind of passive starting method of nuclear reactor initial core, as shown in Fig. 2, this method includes following steps It is rapid:
It is evenly arranged the fuel assembly that at least two burnups are crossed in nuclear reactor initial core periphery, passes through at least two combustions The fuel assembly consumed generates neutron in nuclear reactor initial core;The fuel assembly that at least two burnup is crossed utilizes Residue fission and actinium series nucleic spontaneous fission given-ioff neutron realize nuclear reactor starting.
Using the neutron count rate of the heap external source range detector measurement nuclear reactor initial core of nuclear reactor, in judgement Whether sub-count rate is greater than or equal to setting value (such as the setting value can be 2c/s), sets when neutron count rate is greater than or equal to When definite value, then determine that heap external source range detector works normally.Out-pile range detector is pre-set, in arrangement burnup When the fuel assembly crossed, fuel stack that the fuel assembly that burnup is crossed can be crossed with out-pile range detector face or the burnup Part can deviate some positions of out-pile range detector.
When heap external source range detector works normally, judge that nuclear reactor initial core is charging using neutron count rate Whether it is in subcritical in the process, to guarantee the safety of nuclear reactor, and is crossed in fuel assembly generation using the burnup of loading Son realizes nuclear reactor starting.
When the neutron count rate of out-pile range detector measurement is less than setting value, the then fuel assembly that adjustable burnup is crossed Position and/or the fuel assembly that current burnup is crossed is substituted using the fuel assembly that other burnups are crossed so that out-pile range The neutron count rate of detector measurement is greater than or equal to setting value, for example, the position for the fuel assembly that adjustable burnup is crossed, makes It is closer apart from out-pile range detector.
Nuclear reactor initial core is usually made of entire new components, and the starting first step is that New Parent is packed into reactor core.To hundred Ten thousand multikilowatt pressurized-water reactor nuclear power plants, during core loading, when reactor core geometry does not change, it is desirable that at least one heap External source range detector must work normally, and counting rate it is necessary >=2c/s.When first component enters reactor core, it is necessary to horse Upper measurement neutron count rate, and counting rate is measured always during entire core loading.Detector meter must be recorded Digit rate, and draw decrement rate and the relation curve of fuel stack number of packages (is all made the counting rate in 5 Nuclear Instrument channels Figure), to ensure that reactor core is in subcritical, judge whether reactor core is in subcritical and belongs to those skilled in the art according to neutron count rate The common knowledge of member, is not described herein.It, must if reactor core geometry is constant, and when apparent variation has occurred in counting rate Reason must be found out, to ensure the criticality safety of reactor core.
Further, it is evenly arranged the fuel assembly that at least two burnups are crossed in nuclear reactor initial core periphery, specifically Are as follows:
The fuel stack that the fuel assembly or four burnups crossed in two burnups of nuclear reactor initial core peripheral disposition are crossed Part, when the fuel assembly crossed in two burnups of nuclear reactor initial core peripheral disposition, the geometry of nuclear reactor initial core Structure meets that half is symmetrical, and when the fuel assembly crossed in four burnups of nuclear reactor initial core peripheral disposition, core is anti- The geometry of heap initial core is answered to meet a quarter symmetrical.Half is symmetrical, refers to the reactor core of nuclear reactor is second-class Point, it is all identical between each equal part;A quarter is symmetrical, refers to the reactor core quartering of nuclear reactor, between each equal part all It is identical.
Since initial core is usually made of entire new components, fuel stack is crossed in four burnups of initial core peripheral disposition Part will change the design of initial core.In order to reduce on intrinsic influence, when in nuclear reactor initial core peripheral disposition four When the fuel assembly that a burnup is crossed, burnup cross fuel assembly may be selected than original position fuel assembly initial enrichment be higher by it is more but The component of one or two circulation burnup is lived through, remaining degree of enrichment and original position fuel assembly initial enrichment connect after burnup Closely, two such component reactivity also close to, do not needed before core loading terminates yet the fuel assembly for crossing burnup removal, because This changes original design reactor core scheme little.Fig. 3 describes 15*15 pressurized-water reactor nuclear power plant reactor core fresh fuel group of the present invention The fuel assembly arrangement schematic diagram one that part and burnup are crossed.
When the fuel assembly that four burnups of nuclear reactor initial core peripheral disposition are crossed, after nuclear reactor starting, Continue the fuel assembly for crossing this four burnups as the fuel assembly of nuclear reactor, the fuel assembly reaction that this four burnups are crossed Property differed within 300pcm with the reactivity of the component of the former design reactor core project arrangement on its position.Due to initial heap Core is usually made of entire new components, therefore is crossed fuel assembly in four groups of burnups of reactor core peripheral disposition and will be changed its initial designs.For It reduces on intrinsic influence, the burnup of such as arrangement crosses fuel assembly and former design New Parent reactivity is close, sets to original The influence for counting reactor core scheme will be smaller.
The passive starting method of nuclear reactor initial core further includes following step:
When the fuel assembly crossed in two burnups of nuclear reactor initial core peripheral disposition, fuel that the two burnups are crossed The corresponding two heap external source range probe angles of the position of component, guarantee heap external source range explorer count in this way, in core Before the charging of reactor initial core terminates, the fuel assembly that the two burnups are crossed is removed, then the fuel crossed in the two burnups The corresponding situ of component is packed into the component of former design reactor core project arrangement.This embodiment is not related to former design reactor core side Case changes.
Fuel assembly, the corresponding two heap external sources of position are crossed in two burnups of nuclear reactor initial core peripheral disposition The angle of range detector, guarantee heap external source range detector measurement, which counts, in this way is greater than or equal to 2c/s.In this embodiment, only It is initially introduced into the fuel assembly that the two burnups are crossed, during core loading to guarantee heap external source range detector measurement counting rate It meets the requirements.The fuel assembly that charging crosses two burnups before terminating removes, and is reloaded into former design reactor core scheme position meter Draw the component of arrangement.This embodiment is not related to former design reactor core scheme and changes.Fig. 4 describes 15*15 compressed water reactor nuclear power of the present invention Stand reactor core novel fuel assembly and fuel assembly arrangement schematic diagram two that burnup is crossed.
Method provided by the invention can not use neutron using the fuel assembly fission given-ioff neutron that burnup is crossed Source charging and starting, simplify operation, improve the economy of nuclear power plant.
The above content is a further detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, and it cannot be said that Specific implementation of the invention is only limited to these instructions.For those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs, exist Under the premise of not departing from present inventive concept, a number of simple deductions or replacements can also be made, all shall be regarded as belonging to of the invention Protection scope.
