Description

Passive residual heat removal system of small lead-cooled ocean pool type natural circulation reactor and use method thereof
Technical Field

Background
The 4 th generation international forum for nuclear energy systems (GIF) states that lead-based fast reactors have unique advantages in nuclear waste transmutation and fuel proliferation. Meanwhile, the lead-based coolant is inactive in chemical property and strong in natural circulation capacity, so that the system can be greatly simplified, and the safety and the economy of the reactor are improved. As a liquid heavy metal cooled reactor, lead-based fast reactors were listed by GIF as the 4 th generation nuclear energy systems expected to be the first to realize industrial demonstration.
The small-sized lead-cooled marine reactor is a fast reactor taking pure liquid lead as a coolant, adopts a pool-type reactor core structure, usually operates under the condition of normal pressure and high temperature, and has good natural circulation capacity and inherent safety characteristics.
The passive waste heat discharging system is an advanced reactor special safety system, can provide inherent safety for the reactor, and has great significance in design optimization.
At present, three types of common passive waste heat discharging systems are designed aiming at small liquid heavy metal fast reactors. The first is an air-cooled natural circulation mode, cooling air enters the system through a cooling air descending channel, is heated in a hot air ascending channel, is driven to flow upwards by density difference caused by temperature difference of the air, passes through a chimney and is discharged into the atmosphere, and the passive residual row can act in a safety container or a reactor core pool. The second is an independent heat exchanger mode in the reactor core pool, and an independent heat exchanger except a conventional heat exchanger is usually arranged in the reactor core pool and is used for taking away the decay waste heat of the reactor core by utilizing an external cold source when the conventional heat exchanger does not work, and a specially arranged safe water tank is adopted as the conventional external cold source. The third is a design method acting on the two-loop or three-loop, for example, the inlet and the outlet of the secondary side of the three-loop condensing heat exchanger are connected with the sea, and the height difference between the inlet and the outlet is designed. The condensing heat exchanger and the steam generator form a closed two-loop by utilizing a valve switch, and the waste heat is discharged through natural circulation of the three loops.
For a small-sized lead-cooled ocean pool type natural circulation reactor, the first mode is not applicable to an ocean environment; the second mode has complex design, more loops, more equipment needs to be configured, the cost is high, and the failure probability of the system is increased; in the third way, although the marine environment can be utilized conveniently, the heat exchange feedback is slow, and the quick response is not facilitated. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a passive residual heat removal system for a small-sized marine liquid lead stationary reactor.
