Description

Integrated movable air-cooled miniature power reactor core
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear reactor engineering, and particularly relates to an integrated movable type air-cooled miniature power reactor core.
Background
The movable gas-cooled micro power reactor generally refers to a movable power reactor which adopts pure helium, helium-xenon mixed gas or supercritical carbon dioxide as a coolant working medium and outputs electric power less than 10MW, and can be applied to a plurality of scenes such as remote bases, high-power weapons, disaster area rescue power supply and the like. Gas cooled micro power reactors typically use a gaseous coolant working fluid based on the brayton cycle to carry heat away from the core and to rotate a turbine to generate electricity. Although the thermal efficiency is high, the normal operating temperature is also very high. Considering that the gas heat exchange performance is limited, the design generally adopts a larger heat exchange area and selects moderator materials with excellent temperature resistance, such as graphite and the like. However, graphite has poor neutron moderating capability and is loose and porous, which often results in an excessively large core volume and a small amount of radioactive substances entering the coolant working medium, thereby affecting the mobility and safety of the reactor.
Currently, a typical representative of the internationally designed mobile gas-cooled micro-power reactors is the graphite moderator-based "Holos" reactor scheme designed by the university of Maryland, USA, whose core volume has reached 6.9m only under a single set of shutdown system design 3 . In addition, two sets of reactor shutdown systems which operate independently are generally needed in the reactor design to ensure the safety of the reactor, and the extra system space undoubtedly brings greater challenges to the maneuverability of the reactor. In addition, to flatten the core power distribution to reduce the power peak factor, current reactor designs often employ fuels of different enrichments, which in turn places a burden on the nuclear fuel manufacturing process.
