Background
Fast reactors with liquid metal as coolant are typically high temperature systems, and the pit in which the reactor is located is subject to high temperatures under both normal and accident conditions. The original design is to set up complicated ventilation system, guarantees under normal operating mode that the heap hole temperature is under the concrete loses the crystallization water temperature, under the accident operating mode, also considers whether auxiliary facilities can be inefficacy, leads to the accident result further to enlarge.
When the fast reactor nuclear power station normally operates, the fan of the reactor ventilation system normally operates to continuously replace air in the reactor pit, the air is discharged to the atmosphere through a ventilation pipeline and a chimney, and the reactor pit is maintained in a negative pressure state. The negative pressure design ensures that the gas flow direction is from the reactor factory to the pit during normal operation, so that a very small amount of radioactive substances released by the reactor are prevented from entering the reactor hall, and the safety of operators is threatened. Radiation monitoring monitors radioactivity levels in the reactor building and in the roof shield in real time.
When a design reference accident occurs in the sodium-cooled fast reactor nuclear power station, a loop boundary can be kept complete, radioactive substances in the reactor are contained in the loop boundary, so that the reactor pit is not required to bear the function of radioactive containment in most cases, but the surface of the reactor container has certain heat dissipation capacity, and the surface of the reactor container needs to be discharged so as to maintain the temperature of the reactor body and equipment in the reactor pit within a certain range. At present, a pit exhaust system is arranged, and a fan drives gas in the pit to be exhausted, so that equipment in the pit is cooled.
In the event of a severe accident, the radioactive material in the main reactor vessel leaks into the containment through the main vessel roof equipment. When the radiation monitoring system of the containment detects radioactivity abnormality, the containment isolation system is triggered to operate, and the isolation valves on the coolant pipeline and the ventilation pipeline penetrating through the containment device are automatically isolated. At this time, the inner containment is in a sealed state, so that radioactive substances can be effectively prevented from leaking to the environment in serious accidents, and the environment is influenced. After the containment device is sealed for a period of time, a relatively large portion of the short-lived radioactive material in the radioactive material decays, leaving only a small amount of long-lived radioactive material. At this time, the containment isolation state is released, the reactor ventilation system is started, and the radioactive substances are filtered and then discharged from the overhead.
However, at present, no design and application of natural circulation heat removal of a pit are considered in the fast reactor, and the design of a pit ventilation system is complex.

The air outlet pipeline can also pass through the top of the reactor hall and the containment vessel 3 and then be connected with the pit 2.
Next, the working principle of the natural circulation heat removal system for a pit will be specifically described with reference to fig. 1.
When the reactor is in a normal power operation working condition, the reactor body 1 is in a high temperature state, when the natural circulation heat removal system of the reactor pit is started, the first valve 5 and the third valve 7 are opened, the second valve 6 is closed, and the air in the reactor pit 2 is discharged into the environment after being filtered by the air exhaust fan 8 and the air draft chimney 9.
When the reactor is in a shutdown and refueling working condition, the first valve 5 and the third valve 7 are in an open state, the second valve 6 is in a closed state, the temperature of the reactor body 1 is low, the heat load of the reactor pit is small, the air inlet fan 4 and the air outlet fan 8 can be closed, and the temperature and the negative pressure of the reactor pit 2 are maintained in a natural circulation mode.
