        摘要：BackgroundShanghai High repetition rate XFEL (X-ray free electron laser) and Extreme light facility (SHINE) is a high-repetition-rate X-ray-free electron laser. The timing system of the beamlines and endstations must provide high-precision bunch IDs and a timing trigger for the equipment that works in single-pulse mode.PurposeThis study aims to design a data acquisition (DAQ) testing system to simultaneously acquire X-ray bunch IDs with their corresponding detector data package for subsequent data processing.MethodsThis DAQ testing system was developed on the Zynq UltraScale+ system-on-chip (SOC), and the White Rabbit protocol was employed for the timing system environment. A Bunch ID obtained from the FPGA mezzanine card (FMC) of the embedded White Rabbit node (WRN) was transferred to the server using a TCP protocol stack built on LwIP (light weight internet protocol). Finally, a Basler camera was employed to test this DAQ system, in which the pypylon library was applied to raw data acquisition software for camera snapshot whilst two channels of data were collected by an upper computer and saved to a database for comparison.Results & ConclusionsThe number of bunch IDs obtained by this acquisition test system is the same as that of image frames taken by Basler camera, which demonstrates that the testing system can satisfy the requirements of bunch ID acquisition in SHINE beamlines and endstations.

        摘要：BackgroundThe trend towards increasingly narrow apertures in multipole magnets poses a challenge to many conventional measurement methods. Consequently, these methods' applicability in small aperture multipole magnets is limited. However, the single stretched wire measurement technique has emerged as a promising alternative due to its minimal space requirements within the measurement domain. Therefore, this technique is well-suited for accurately measuring magnetic fields in small aperture magnets.PurposeThis study aims to introduce a novel approach for analyzing the gradient integral and multipole errors of the quadrupole magnet, to address the limitations associated with the current single stretched wire method (SSWM).MethodsFirstly, a magnetic measurement system based on the single stretched wire method was constructed with two boasted key advantages: minimal space occupation within the measurement domain, and flexible motion modes. Then, leveraging these features, measurements of the four poles of a quadrupole magnet by employing a hyperbolic trajectory was acquired, and a new technique for analyzing both the gradient integral and multipole errors associated with the quadrupole magnet was developed. Finally, the feasibility of this SSWM was verified by comparing the results obtained from our system to those derived from the rotating coil method.ResultsMeasurement results of a quadrupole magnet with the inscribed radius of 11 mm and gradient of 100 T⋅m‒1 by SSWM show that the repeatability of three measurements is better than ±1.5×10‒4 which is less than one-third of the maximum value of multipole error of 5×10‒4, so it can meet the measurement requirements.ConclusionsThe methodology outlined in this study for constructing the measurement system and analyzing the resultant data offers a practical and effective solution for the future magnetic field measurements of small aperture magnets.

        摘要：BackgroundFeCrAl alloy cladding, as an accident tolerant fuel (ATF) mid-term commercial technology approach, has received extensive attention.PurposeThis study aims to investigate the effect of trace Y on the internal pressure burst and oxidation properties of FeCrAl alloy cladding.MethodsFirstly, the crystalline grain size and micro-morphologies of FeCrAl and FeCrAlY alloy cladding samples were observed by optical microscope. Internal pressure burst and high temperature oxidation tests were carried out by burst test equipment and thermo-gravimetric analyzer with a moisture generator. Then, X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) were employed to analyze the composition of oxidation products, surface and cross-sectional micro-morphologies of FeCrAl and FeCrAlY alloy cladding samples before and after high-temperature stream oxidation and the distribution of elements on the surface oxidation products.ResultsThe results show that trace Y is mainly dissolved in the FeCrAl alloy matrix, and no Fe-Y phase is formed. The inclusion of Y do not change the burst strength and the rupture opening morphology at room temperature (RT) to 1 000 ℃, and the high-temperature steam oxidation resistance of FeCrAl alloy cladding is significantly improved by the trace Y. Under the condition of steam oxidation at 800 ℃, 1 000 ℃ and 1 200 °C for 8 h, the oxidation weight gain of FeCrAlY alloy cladding decrease by 65.1%, 60.0% and 31.5%, respectively. Compared with the single Al2O3 oxide film on the surface of FeCrAl alloy cladding, the Y-containing composite oxide film with lower internal stress, higher compactness and better adhesion with the substrate is formed on the surface of FeCrAlY alloy cladding.ConclusionsTherefore, the addition of trace Y do not change the burst properties of FeCrAl alloy cladding, however, the high-temperature steam oxidation resistance of FeCrAl alloy cladding is significantly improved.

        摘要：Large volumes of water containing tritium are generated during the operation, decommissioning, and incident-management of nuclear installations and related facilities, and are expected to increase with the ongoing expansion of nuclear power generation. If released into the environment, this water could pose a substantial environmental threat to living organisms. However, conventional isotope separation techniques, such as cryogenic distillation and catalytic exchange, are inadequate for efficiently isolating significant quantities of low-level tritiated water because of the complex machinery and excessive energy required, and the potential for hydrogen-gas detonation. In contrast, water distillation (WD), as a traditional technology, has the unique advantages of simple operation, no corrosive and toxic substances, and no hydrogen explosion risk, but problems of small separation coefficient and low efficiency always exist in this technique. However, the separation effect of WD can be effectively improved by improving the process variables in the process of WD, such as temperature, distillation column diameter, and packing dimensions, so as to adapt WD to the separation of industrial tritiated water. This study provides a thorough exposition of the basic principles and distinctive features of water distillation and examines the effect of various operational parameters on separation efficiency to adapt the process for the industrial separation of tritiated water. The impact of various process variables on the separation efficiency of tritiated water via distillation was investigated, and results show that optimizing these variables can markedly improve the separation efficiency of water distillation. In particular, decreasing the dimensions of the packing material or altering its properties can lead to higher separation factors and lower residual tritiated water concentration. These findings suggest that water distillation can be used for the separation of tritiated water. By optimizing its operational parameters, water distillation can become a viable method for the industrial separation of tritiated water and is expected to play a significant role in this field in the future.

        摘要：During the neutron detection process, owing to the effects of inelastic scattering and slow neutron capture, a neutron-gamma mixed radiation field is formed, which increases the complexity of neutron detection. Organic scintillators are widely used in neutron detection because of their high flashing efficiency, short decay time, and high detection efficiency. Pulse shape discrimination (PSD) is a key technology for discriminating neutrons and gamma rays according to the difference in pulse shape caused by the difference in particle decay time in organic scintillators. Traditional PSD methods include time-domain and frequency-domain discrimination methods. In recent years, various machine-learning techniques applied to neutron-gamma discrimination have achieved better results. To better use organic scintillators and the corresponding neutron-gamma discrimination methods in neutron detection, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the glowing mechanism of organic scintillators, PSD principle, organic scintillator types, and neutron-gamma discrimination methods and investigated the performance evaluation indexes of organic scintillators and neutron-gamma discrimination methods. Finally, the future development directions of organic scintillators and neutron-gamma discrimination methods were examined.

        摘要：BackgroundThe accurate acquisition and correlation coincidence of positron annihilation signal form the basis of the lifetime spectrum sensitive characterization of microscopic defects in materials. The complex radiation background interferes with the acquisition of positron annihilation signals, particularly in the study of neutron radiation damage of nuclear structural materials. The γ ray background generated by radionuclides induced by neutron activation affects the measurement results of positron lifetime spectrometer.PurposeThis study aims to investigate the effect of γ background on positron annihilation lifetime measurement.MethodsFirst of all, the positron lifetime measurement system is built in a "fast-fast coincidence" manner, and radiation background simulation experiments are designed by selecting two typical nuclides, 60Co and 137Cs sources, with nearby feature γ photon energy for measuring positron annihilation lifetime. Then, the spectra under two typical activity ratios are compared with the activated neutron-irradiated samples.ResultsThe simulation results indicate that the double high energy γ rays generated by 60Co sources are the primary factors affecting the spectrum shape and lifetime components. When the 60Co/22Na activity ratio is relatively low, 1.9, the peak-to-valley ratio of the spectrum significantly degrades, with the increase of random coincidence probability caused by radiation background. Further, at high activity ratio of 3.3, besides random coincidence, the false coincidence probability increases sharply, and the spectral shape is evidently distorted. For neutron-irradiated RPV steel, the lifetime value is reduced by 17% and 46% at low and high activity, respectively, compared with the non-irradiated samples.ConclusionsUsing the simulation method of radiation background sources and the influence rules of interference γ in this study, new techniques for eliminating γ background could be further explored in positron annihilation lifetime measurement.

        摘要：BackgroundDouble perovskites have become a research hotspot in recent years due to their flexible structure, easy doping, and good thermal stability. Photoluminescence (PL) of rare-earth-doped double perovskite materials has been frequently reported, but few studies on thermoluminescence (TL) have been conducted.PurposeThis study aims to investigate the TL characteristics of Y2-x-yBixEuyMgTiO6 (0≤x<1, 0≤y<1) phosphors.MethodBi3+ and Eu3+ co-doped Y2MgTiO6 samples were synthesized by a high-temperature solid phase method, and the X-ray diffraction (XRD), PL, and TL of the samples were measured.ResultsXRD analysis results show that the crystal structures of all samples are monoclinic P21/n, and Bi3+ and Eu3+ are doped into Y2MgTiO6 by substituting Y3+. The PL results show that Y1.79Bi0.01Eu0.20MgTiO6 has a strong red emission near 620 nm (corresponding to the 5D0→7F2 transition of Eu3+), which is accompanied by a long afterglow. The TL curves of the samples doped with different concentrations of Bi and Eu ions show that Y1.79Bi0.01Eu0.20MgTiO6 has the highest TL sensitivity, and the samples exhibits two significant TL peaks near 510 K and 610 K. The TL spectrum is more abundant than the fluorescence spectrum, and the 5D0→7FJ (J =1,2,3,4) transition of Eu3+ can be observed. The TL intensity of the sample has a good linear relationship with the irradiation dose in the range of 2~1 000 Gy. The TL kinetic parameters of the samples are analyzed using two methods under different preheating temperatures (Tm and Tstop) and glow curve deconvolution. The analysis results show that the depth of the TL trap in the sample extends from 0.80 eV to 1.40 eV.ConclusionsThe results of this study indicate that the TL spectrum is richer than the PL spectrum and that Y1.79Bi0.01Eu0.20MgTiO6 may be used as TL dosimeter material for large dose detection.

        摘要：BackgroundThe performance of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) can be promoted by optimizing cathode materials.PurposeThis study aims to boost the electrochemical performances of cathodes for SOFCs by doping transition metal at the B-site of double perovskite.MethodsFirstly, a series of B-site doped PrBa0.8Ca0.2Co2O5+δ (PBCC) oxides as cathodes for SOFCs were prepared by sol-gel. The effects of B-site doped content and doped elements on the crystalline structure of the cathodes were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Then, the trends of conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient with B-site doped PBCC oxides were investigated. Finally, the electrochemical performances of cathodes with different B-site doped PBCC oxides were tested to find optimal doping element type and content.ResultsTest results show that polarization is reduced and the electrochemical catalytic activity is improved when 5 mol% of Fe is doped on the B-site of the PBCC cathode. Compared to the PBCC cathode, the max power density of the full cell with a 5-mol% Fe-doped cathode increases from 988 mW∙cm-2 to 1 259 mW∙cm-2 at 700 ℃.ConclusionsThe electrochemical performances of SOFCs can be boosted by modifying the B-site of double perovskite using transition metal.

        摘要：BackgroundThe China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) is a multidisciplinary research platform. Its high-energy 1.6 GeV proton beam serves various applications in aerospace devices and particle detector testing. However, certain irradiation applications and high-performance detectors require different beam energies. A degrader was designed to adjust the proton energy to a desired range.PurposeThis study presents a reasonable degrader scheme for the 1.6 GeV proton test beam at the CSNS.MethodsThe physical process of the 1.6 GeV high-energy proton beam passing through a degrader made of either of three different materials (iron, copper, and tungsten) was simulated using FLUKA, a Monte Carlo particle transport code. Parameters such as the degrader thickness, the energy deposition, the outgoing proton beam intensity, and the irradiation dose were determined through simulations. The optimal degrader material was identified. In addition, a continuously adjustable structure of the degrader was given.ResultsIron displays slight advantages in terms of energy deposition and radiation dose distribution, compared to copper and tungsten. Furthermore, the phase-space distribution of the outgoing proton beam and the secondary pion beam were also given, providing important references for future beam-line design.ConclusionAn optimal degrader structure made of iron for the CSNS high-energy proton beam is proposed. The secondary pion test beam is also feasible at the proton test end station. This is a significant development for future engineering design.

        摘要：BackgroundThe triple-to-double coincidence ratio-Čerenkov (TDCR-Čerenkov) method can be applied to the activity measurement of radionuclides by detecting the Čerenkov photons produced in a non-scintillation solution. The computation of the detection efficiency of this method is based on the premise that the energy of emitted β is completely deposited in the solution. However, this precondition is ideal and does not apply to the actual measurement because of the counting loss caused by the restrictions of a finite solution and the wall of the counting vial (i.e., wall effect).PurposeThis study aims to analyze the influence of the wall effect on the computation of detection efficiency.MethodsThe transport process of emitted β from the solution to the vial wall was analyzed in sections. Thereby the relationship between the number of Čerenkov photons and the deposition energy spectra of emitted β with different energies in different matrices was obtained. This relationship was used to further improve the calculation model of the TDCR-Čerenkov method. Subsequently, the calculation model was simplified to reduce the required time. Geant4 calculated the deposition spectra of emitted β in different matrices, subsequently, the efficiency of different nuclides was calculated using curves of the number of Čerenkov photons vs. the energy of the emitted β. To verify the accuracy of the improved calculation model, measurements were carried out on a variety of pure β-emitters.ResultsThe results derived from the improved TDCR-Čerenkov method are in good agreement with those of the TDCR-LS method. Especially for high energy β-emitters, the relative deviation of the results between the TDCR-Čerenkov and TDCR-LS methods is reduced from 0.47% for the original method to 0.02% (90Y), and 0.64% to -0.16% (32P).ConclusionsThe TDCR-Čerenkov method is more accurate when considering the wall effect in the activity measurement of high-energy β-emitters.

        摘要：BackgroundThe passive residual heat removal (PRHR) system is an important innovative design of the advanced pressurized water reactor technology. Under accident conditions, PRHR system can transport decay heat in the form of natural circulation to ensure core cooling. However, the heat exchange function of PRHR system will be lost when the PRHR pipeline breaks. With development of the accident process, the coupling effect between different safety equipments of the passive core cooling system (PXS) will be affected. Besides, thermal hydraulic state of the reactor coolant system (RCS) will also be affected via complex interaction mechanism. As a result, the new thermal hydraulic phenomena occur, and thus ultimately affecting the accident mitigation capacity of the PXS.PurposeThis study aims to confirm the safety characteristics of PXS and identify the new thermal hydraulic phenomena of advanced passive nuclear power plant during accident with multiple failures.MethodsA series of integral effect tests of loss of coolant accident (LOCA) were conducted on the advanced core-cooling mechanism experiment (ACME) facility. The influence of failure of PRHR HX flow and heat exchanging function on LOCA accident process were investigated on the basis of the test cases including PRHR pipeline break and cold leg (CL) break. The unique thermal hydraulic phenomena occurred during PRHR LOCA were explored, and their influence laws on the coupling effect among PXS safety equipments, and the influence laws on thermal hydraulic state of RCS were obtained.ResultsThe results show that there is a momentary reverse flow and heat transfer process in PRHR HX at the beginning of PRHR LOCA compared with typical CL LOCA. Besides, the natural circulation process between the core and steam generators (SGs) plays a critical role in cooling and depressurization of RCS, and its corresponding time-averaged heat transfer power is increased by about 30%. Besides, the asymmetric arrangement of PXS leads to a significant difference of transient thermal hydraulic state between the RCS branches, namely the PRHR cools the coolant via one RCS loop while two core makeup tanks (CMTs) inject the cold water to the core via the other RCS loop, and the pipeline resistance distribution shows a significant impact on the injection performance of safety equipment with low driven head such as CMTs.ConclusionsThe unique and important thermal hydraulic phenomena in the early stage of the accident, namely reverse flow and heat transfer process in PRHR HX and natural circulation process between core and SGs, are identified. The asymmetric arrangement effect will be more noticeable when the break occurs in PRHR pipeline.

        摘要：BackgroundAs an innovative technology of nuclear power, magnetically suspended high-temperature molten salt canned motor pump (referred to as molten salt canned motor pump) can be used in the fourth generation molten salt reactor (MSR). Improving pump performance via hydraulic optimization design is significant to fourth-generation nuclear power technology.PurposeThis study aims to investigate the influence of different working fluids on the hydraulic optimization design of magnetically suspended high-temperature molten salt-canned motor pumps and provide suggestions for the optimal design of magnetically suspended high-temperature molten salt-canned motor pumps.MethodsFirstly, ANSYS CFX software was employed to perform a numerical simulation of a magnetically suspended high-temperature molten salt canned motor pump. Based on response surface methodology (RSM), approximate models between significant parameters and optimization objectives were established. Then, taking the efficiency and head as optimization objectives, a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) was used to design the magnetically suspended high-temperature molten salt canned motor pump under molten salt and water.ResultsCompared with water working fluid, the optimization space of the pump under molten salt working fluid is larger. When the efficiency of the optimization model under the two working fluids is the same, the impeller inlet diameter and the blade outlet placement angle of the molten salt optimization model are reduced, whereas the impeller outlet width and the diffuser throat plane width are increased. The efficiency of the finally determined molten salt optimization model is increased by 0.75% and the head is raised by 0.078 2 m whilst the efficiency of the water optimization model is increased by 0.55%, and the head is reduced by 0.035 9 m.ConclusionsThe research results of this study can be used to guide the hydraulic structure design of a magnetically suspended high-temperature molten salt-canned motor pump.

        摘要：BackgroundWith the increase of complexity of reactor core design, the core modeling and calculation have brought challenges.PurposeThis study aims to implement the accurate modeling and calculation of unstructured geometry core.MethodsBased on discrete ordinate nodal method for arbitrary triangular-z geometry, the precise modeling and mesh generation of unstructured core were established by constructive solid geometry (CSG), and Block-Jacobi parallel algorithm was employed to reduce calculation time of reactor core. Finally, based on the developed SARAX program, core physics calculations for new complex geometries of a space reactor and a heat pipe reactor were performed for accuracy verification by using Block-Jacobi parallel algorithm combining with established precise model and mesh.ResultsThe verification results show that the effective multiplication factor and radial power distribution agree with that of multi-group Monte-Carlo calculation. The calculation deviation of eigenvalues is less than 3.00×10-3, and the relative deviation of radial power distribution is less than 1.5%.ConclusionsResults of this study show that SARAX code has the ability of modeling and higher accuracy in the calculation of unstructured geometry core.

        摘要：BackgroundIn order to accurately predict the friction pressure drop characteristics of liquid lead bismuth in the cross-section of the fuel assembly rod bundle, a suitable friction pressure drop model should be selected.PurposeThis study aims to investigate Friction pressure drop model for wire-wrapped rod bundles in full flow.MethodsEight different frictional pressure drop models within wire-wrapped rod bundles were evaluated their applicability by using statistical analysis. The prediction accuracy of experimental data from different models in different flow regimes was explored corresponding to laminar flow, transitional flow, and turbulence.ResultsThe analysis results show that the friction coefficient is not only related to the number of rod bundles (Nr) and the pitch-to-diameter ratio (P/D), but also related to the wire lead length-to-diameter ratio (H/D). The modified BDD model in the laminar flow range and this work model are more consistent with the experimental data. The modified BDD model, CTD model and this work model are relatively consistent with the experimental data in the transition flow range. The Rehme model, the UCTD model and this work model in the turbulent range are more consistent with the experimental data.ConclusionsTherefore, the model presented in this study is suitable for predicting friction pressure drop in the cross-section of the fuel assembly bundle in the full flow state.

        摘要：BackgroundThe propagation of pressure waves in nuclear energy systems will cause hydraulic load effects, and it is particularly important for the analysis of structural loads to accurately simulate the propagation process of pressure waves. System analysis codes such as RELAP5, TRACE, etc. are widely used in the simulation and analysis of reactor pressure wave propagation. But system analysis codes can only simulate one-dimensional pressure wave propagation behavior.PurposeTo cope with the multi-directional and multi-dimensional pressure wave propagation issue, corresponding model and algorithm study is carried out in this paper to investigate the two-dimensional pressure wave propagation behavior in two-phase steam-water flow condition.MethodsBy employing a four-step algorithm of time-step separation, and a non-equilibrium phase transition heat transfer model, a two- dimensional two-phase flow pressure wave propagation code (TPFPWPC-2D) is developed based on 2D axisymmetric cylindrical coordinate system. The code verification is carried out by using a typical benchmark of steam-water two-phase shock tube. Finally, in order to verify the ability of TPFPWPC-2D code to simulate the two-dimensional propagation of pressure waves, numerical simulations of the pressure wave propagation behavior in a cylindrical space region were conducted.ResultsThe results of code verification show that the new code proposed here agrees well with the two system analysis codes RELAP5 and WAHA. The 2D simulation application shows that the new code can capture the 2D propagation processes of pressure wave reasonably, especially the reflection and superposition characteristics.ConclusionsFrom the results mentioned above, conclusions can be drawn that the new code developed in this paper can simulate the two-dimensional axisymmetric propagation characteristics reasonably in both quantitative and qualitative levels.

        摘要：BackgroundMany existing studies have shown that the use of suitable surface modification methods can enhance the boiling heat transfer effect of metal components, making it have a broad potential application prospect in the pressurized water reactor. However, for the weak alkaline environment of high temperature and high pressure in the reactor, little literature is reported on whether this enhanced effect can be maintained for a long time.PurposeThis study aims to explore the effect of corrosion on boiling heat transfer characteristics of metal specimens with micro-structure surface.MethodsFirst of all, three micro-structures of micro-groove, micro-porous and micro-columns were processed on the surface of stainless steel plate specimens by laser processing. Then the specimens were placed in the high-temperature and high-pressure environment simulating the actual reactor conditions to carry out corrosion experiments for up to 200 d. Finally, the pool boiling experiment and visualization study of the specimens before and after corrosion were carried out for comparison.ResultsThe results show that the surface critical heat flux (CHF) of the three micro-structured metal specimens increases and then decreases with the increase of corrosion time, among which the micro-pores specimens have the largest bubble generation rate at the beginning of nuclear boiling, and the micro-groove specimens have the highest CHF.ConclusionsThe influence law and mechanism of long-term corrosion in pressurized water reactor on the enhanced heat transfer effect of different micro-structure surfaces are partially revealed by this study.
