Physical-property study on liquid fluoride-salt-cooled high temperature reactor loaded with different kinds of fuel mixtures封面论文
Background: Liquid fluoride-salt-cooled high temperature reactor
one of the GEN-IV reactors
has great advantages comparatively
and the research on its fuel is of great significance. Purpose: The aim is to study the physical properties of high-temperature pebble-bed reactors loaded with six different fuel mixtures. Methods: We used SCALE5.1 package to compute some important parameters like excess reactivity
full power operation days
burnup and neutron spectrum. Results: The results show that the true conversions of 232Th are much less than those of 238U when mixed with 233U or 235U. With 239Pu for starting
232Th contributes to making the reactor running longer than that with 238U. Conclusion: With respect to saving fuel and extending the life of the core
without online refueling and reprocessing
232Th is underperformed in thermal reactor compared with 238U
however
it is the opposite in epithermal neutron reactor.Cited
