Transient analysis of the integral small modular fluoride molten salt cooled high temperature reactor
Safety and economy is the goal of the next generation of nuclear power system as important indexes in the development of nuclear power system. According to the characteristics of fluoride molten salt reactor
the concept of the integral small modular fluoride molten salt cooled high temperature reactor which uses natural circulation for residual heat removal is proposed.
Purpose
2
This study aims to analyze the transient characteristics under two kinds of incidents:the reactivity insertion incident and the heat sink loss incident.
Methods
2
Based on the basis of the steady state simulation
modified RELAP5-MS software is employed to analyze the two kinds of incidents.
Results
2
In the case of the reactivity insertion incident
as a result of the existence of natural circulation
the coolant flow rate of core changes dynamically with the core temperature
and reaches a new steady state eventually. The power of the core reduces gradually because of the negative feedback
and the reactor shuts down eventually under the circumstance of heat trap loss incident. Taking no account of the residual heat removal system conservatively
the fuel assembly and the coolant temperature rise slowly. Fuel and coolant temperature are within safe limits within 140 h.
Conclusion
2
The results show that natural circulation for residual heat removal in the first loop will guarantee the great safety features of the fluoride molten salt cooled high temperature reactor.
