The control and protection mechanism 3 includes an adjusting device 31 and a plurality of shutdown columns 32, wherein the shutdown columns 32 are disposed in the graphite matrix 2, and when the temperature of the graphite matrix 2 increases to a predetermined temperature, the shutdown columns 32 automatically decompose shutdown materials with negative reactive feedback to the reactor core, so as to realize passive shutdown of the reactor. Preferably, the shutdown column 32 is a column structure made of calcium hydride material, and the shutdown material is calcium hydroxide, and the reaction formula of the decomposition of the calcium hydride and water at high temperature is:
CaH 2 +2H 2 O=Ca(OH) 2 +2H 2
it will be appreciated that the overall reactor design is extremely simplified, thus greatly reducing the initial events, and that several columns of calcium hydride material are disposed in the graphite matrix 2, relying on the natural characteristics of calcium hydride to achieve a natural emergency shutdown. The normal operating temperature of the reactor is designed to be lower than 700 ℃, hydrogen in the calcium hydride can be decomposed in a high-temperature environment of more than 800 ℃, and meanwhile, the hydrogen reacts with water to generate calcium hydroxide, the calcium hydroxide can have larger negative reactivity on the reactor core reactivity, so that emergency shutdown reactive introduction under abnormal operating conditions (namely accident conditions) is realized, reactor shutdown is caused, in emergency conditions, for example, the temperature of the reactor core is increased due to the fact that cooling capacity is lost, and the reactor is automatically shutdown according to the material characteristics of the calcium hydride.

Preferably, the first liquid metal 311 is liquid potassium metal and the second liquid metal 312 is high-enrichment 6Li liquid metal.
Specifically, the adjusting device 31 is used for adjusting the reactivity of the reactor in normal operation, and comprises a box 313 and an extending sleeve 314 connected with the box 313 and extending into the graphite substrate 2, wherein the extending sleeve 314 protrudes out of the bottom end of the graphite substrate 2, the extending sleeve 314 comprises an extending inner tube 3141 and an extending outer tube 3142, and the extending outer tube 3142 is arranged at the periphery of the extending inner tube 3141.

It can be understood that the temperature of the liquid potassium metal changes along with the temperature of the reactor core, and the elevation of the liquid metal with high enrichment degree 6Li is controlled by the expansion and contraction of the liquid potassium metal. Since the high enrichment 6Li liquid metal has a large negative reactivity feedback, it enters or leaves the core, and an adjustment of the core reactivity can be achieved. These adjustments are self-adjusting and do not require any human intervention.
