Abstract
Description
原子炉10の詳細を述べる前に、原子炉10の実施形態の背後にあるいくつかの検討事項を、限定ではなく概要として説明する。原子炉10の実施形態の中には、後述の検討事項を全て満たす内容のものもある。一方、原子炉10の実施形態の中には、後述の検討事項のうち選択されたもののみを満たし、必ずしも全ての検討事項を満たす必要のないものもある。後述の説明には、以下の論文から引用された情報が含まれている:「Completely Automated Nuclear Power Reactors For Long-Term Operation: III. Enabling Technology For Large-Scale, Low-Risk, Affordable Nuclear Electricity」(Edward Teller, Muriel Ishikawa, Lowell Wood, Roderick Hyde, John Nuckolls);「PRESENTED AT the July 2003 Workshop of the Aspen Global Change Institute」、University of California Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory publication UCRL-JRNL-122708 (2003)。(この論文は、Energy, The International Journal(30 November 2003)に提出するために執筆されたものである)。これらの全ての内容はここに説明することによって本願に含まれる。
原子炉10の実施形態の背後にあるいくつかの検討事項を述べたので、さらに、原子炉10の例示的な実施形態について詳述する。原子炉10の例示的実施形態についての以下の説明は、非限定的な例を挙げており、なんら限定するものではないことを強調しておく。上述したように、原子炉10のさらなる態様と同様に、原子炉10のいくつかの実施形態について検討する。原子炉10の例示的な実施形態についての詳細を説明した後、他の実施形態および態様を説明する。
核分裂炉炉心アセンブリ100の中の核分裂爆燃波について説明する。可燃性物質における爆燃波の伝搬によって、予測可能なレベルでエネルギーを解放することができる。さらに、物質構成が必要な時間不変的特徴を有する場合、その後の出力生産が安定したレベルとなる場合がある。最終的に、爆燃波が伝搬する速度を実用的な方法で外部より調節し得る場合、エネルギー解放率および出力生産は所望の状態に制御される。
核分裂炉炉心アセンブリ100およびそこに配置される例示的核燃料チャージの例示的実施形態および態様を説明する。
