Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a schematic view of a shutdown control rod according to an embodiment of the present invention, which has an outer surface coated with a neutron absorbing coating 1111; a closed cavity 110 is arranged in the shutdown control rod, and a liquid metal coolant is arranged in the closed cavity 110; when the shutdown control rod is inserted into the core 210 of the reactor pressure vessel 200, the neutron absorption coating 1111 can absorb neutrons so that the chain fission reaction of the core 210 is terminated, and the liquid metal coolant can absorb heat generated by the chain fission reaction of the core 210 to be vaporized.
In practical use, when the system receives a shutdown signal sent by the reactor protection system, the shutdown control rod is moved downwards by the control rod drive mechanism 240, so that one end of the shutdown control rod, which is coated with the neutron absorption coating 1111, is inserted downwards into the core 210 of the reactor pressure vessel 200, and then the neutron absorption coating 1111 on the surface of the shutdown control rod can absorb neutrons, so that the chain fission reaction of the core 210 is stopped, and the shutdown function is realized. A closed cavity 110 is arranged in the shutdown control rod, and liquid metal coolant is arranged in the closed cavity 110. When the end of the shutdown control rod coated with the neutron absorption coating 1111 is inserted downward into the core 210 of the reactor pressure vessel 200, the shutdown control rod carries the liquid metal coolant therein into the core 210, and further, the heat generated by the chain fission reaction of the core 210 is transferred to the liquid metal coolant through the shutdown control rod, causing the liquid metal coolant to absorb the heat and vaporize. The liquid metal coolant absorbs heat generated by the chain fission reaction of the core 210, so that the temperature of the core 210 can be rapidly reduced, and dangerous conditions caused by continuous temperature rise of the core 210 due to waste heat are effectively avoided. Because the shutdown control rod of this application can realize the cooling function of reactor core 210 when realizing the shutdown function, realize the emission of waste heat in the reactor core 210 through this passive system, unusual simple and convenient and the security performance is higher.
In one embodiment, the outer periphery of the shutdown control rod and the direction of insertion into the core 210The end face of the end is coated with the neutron absorption layer, so that the coating area of the neutron absorption layer is large, and the time required for stopping the chain type fission reaction is shorter. When the system receives a shutdown signal sent by the reactor protection system, the total time consumed by the shutdown function is less, and the safety factor of the whole system is higher. Specifically, the neutron absorption coating 1111 is B4Eutectic alloy of C-Al-Si by B4The C-Al-Si eutectic alloy absorbs neutrons in the reactor, stopping the chain fission reaction of the core 210.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an integrated reactor shutdown and cooling system according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 2 shows an enlarged partial view at A of the integrated reactor shutdown and cooling system shown in FIG. 1; FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional view at B-B of the integrated reactor shutdown and cooling system shown in FIG. 2.
The structure of the shutdown control rod is described in detail below.
Referring to FIG. 3, in one embodiment, the shutdown control rod includes at least two sections, an evaporation section 111 and a condensation section 113. The evaporation section 111 and the condensation section 113 are connected, and may be integrally formed. The neutron absorption coating 1111 is coated on the outer surface of the evaporation section 111, and the liquid metal coolant is located in the evaporation section 111; the condensing section 113 is arranged above the evaporating section 111, and the condensing section 113 is used for being inserted into the cooling water tank 220; the liquid metal coolant absorbs heat and vaporizes the resulting gas in the evaporator section 111. The gas can rise to the condensing section 113. Since the condensation section 113 is inserted into the cooling water tank 220, the gas reaches the condensation section 113, and then is cooled by the cooling water tank 220, liquefied, and again becomes a liquid metal coolant from a gas state. Specifically, the liquid metal coolant formed by liquefying the gas cooled by the cooling water tank 220 can flow back to the evaporation section 111 under the action of its own gravity, and the heat generated by the chain fission reaction of the core 210 is recycled and absorbed again, so that a closed cycle heat exchange process of the liquid metal coolant inside the shutdown control rod is formed.
In one embodiment, the shutdown control rod further comprises an intermediate section 112, the intermediate section 112 being adapted to connect the evaporator section 111 and the condenser section 113 and being located between the evaporator section 111 and the condenser section 113, such that the gaseous metal coolant rises from the evaporator section 111, passes through the intermediate section 112, and then reaches the condenser section 113. It can be seen that the middle section 112 can extend the flow path of the gaseous metal coolant, so that the gaseous metal coolant has a larger flow space and flow distance, which is more beneficial to the rapid cooling of the core 210.
Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in one embodiment, the shutdown control rod further includes a wick 120; the wick 120 is disposed on an inner wall of the closed cavity 110, the wick 120 serves to absorb the metal coolant that forms a liquid state after being liquefied, and the liquid metal coolant can flow downward through the wick 120. By the absorption of the wick 120, the liquid metal coolant is collected faster in the process of the metal coolant condensing and reflowing, and the time required by the condensing and reflowing is shorter, so that the temperature reduction speed of the core 210 is further increased.
In one embodiment, the liquid metal coolant is liquid sodium, and absorbs heat generated by the chain fission reaction of the core 210 through the liquid sodium, and when gas formed by vaporization of the liquid sodium in the evaporation section 111 rises to the condensation section 113, the gas is cooled by the cooling water tank 220 in the condensation section 113, so that the gas is liquefied to form liquid sodium, and then the liquid sodium is adsorbed onto the wick 120, flows back to the evaporation section 111 through self gravity, and circulates again to absorb heat generated by the chain fission reaction of the core 210.
In another embodiment, the liquid metal coolant is liquid potassium, the liquid potassium absorbs heat generated by the chain fission reaction of the core 210, and when gas formed by vaporization of the liquid potassium in the evaporation section 111 rises to the condensation section 113, the gas is cooled by the cooling water tank 220 in the condensation section 113, so that the gas is liquefied to form liquid potassium, and then the liquid potassium is absorbed onto the wick 120, flows back to the evaporation section 111 by self gravity, and circulates again to absorb heat generated by the chain fission reaction of the core 210. The liquid metal coolant is not limited in kind as long as it can perform the functions of vaporizing at a higher temperature and radiating and liquefying at a lower temperature.
Referring to FIG. 4, in one embodiment, the shutdown control rod is a sealed metal tube for exhausting non-condensable gas, and the material of the rod housing 140 is 316 stainless steel surface nitrided, so that the shutdown control rod 100 has higher safety performance and longer service life.

Because the closed cavity 110 is arranged in the shutdown control rod 100, and the liquid metal coolant is arranged in the closed cavity 110, the liquid metal coolant absorbs heat generated by the chain fission reaction of the reactor core 210, so that the temperature of the reactor core 210 can be rapidly reduced, and dangerous conditions caused by continuous temperature rise of the reactor core 210 due to waste heat are effectively avoided.
