Problems solved by technology

[0007] 1. Since the ratio of core height to diameter is about 0.7-1.0, the surface area of ​​fuel solution is small (0.05-0.10m 2 ), the radiolysis gas in the fuel solution (O 2 Gas and H 2 Gas) is not easy to escape, so that the cavitation coefficient of the reactor fuel solution is large (1.5-3.0%), and the surface release rate of radiolysis gas is high (4.5-7.8L / m 2 s), when operating at a higher power, a large amount of radiolysis gas is produced, which increases the cavitation coefficient of the fuel solution, increases the gas release rate on the surface of the fuel solution, and causes a large amount of radiolysis gas to escape from the surface of the fuel solution, causing the surface of the fuel solution to Large fluctuations lead to large fluctuations in the operating power of the reactor, making it difficult for the reactor to achieve steady-state operation
[0008] 2. Due to the small volume of the core fuel solution, if the operating power is increased, the volume of the reactor will be higher than the power, resulting in the radiolysis product H in the fuel solution 2 o 2 High concentrations will cause UO 4 Precipitation; with UO 2 (NO 3 ) 2 The solution is HNO in the fuel solution of nuclear fuel 3 The increase in the amount of decomposition will cause the pH value of the fuel solution to drop rapidly. If the acid is not replenished in time, it will cause UO 2 +2 Hydrolysis and precipitation will eventually cause the fuel solution to be uneven and stable, making the reactor unable to operate in a steady state
[0009] 3. Due to the small volume of the homogeneous aqueous solution nuclear reactor, the volume of the core fuel solution is small (11.5-26L), and the heat exchange area of ​​the coil heat exchanger is small (2 ), cannot take away more nuclear fission energy, under normal pressure, cause the core fuel solution to boil, so that the reactor steady-state operating power cannot be further improved, when the reactor operates at a power higher than 50KW, the fuel solution will boil and become cause the reactor to shut down
[0010] 4. Due to the high steady-state operating power of the reactor, the amount of hydrogen and oxygen produced by radiation decomposition is large, while the gas circuit is small in volume and flow rate, and the hydrogen-oxygen recombiner has a small ability to recombine hydrogen and oxygen, which cannot effectively recombine the large amount of hydrogen generated during high-power operation of the reactor. Hydrogen may cause hydrogen deflagration, directly endangering the operation safety of the reactor, thus limiting the steady-state operating power of the reactor
[0011] The above defects of the current homogeneous aqueous nuclear reactor make its rated steady-state operating power low (≤50kW), which limits its application and cannot be used for large-scale production of medical isotopes

Embodiment Construction

[0025] The technical solution of the present invention is to adopt a flat core, reduce the ratio of reactor core height to diameter, expand the volume and surface area of ​​the reactor core fuel solution, facilitate the escape of radiation decomposition gas, and reduce the cavitation coefficient and The surface release rate of the fuel solution for radiolysis gases (hydrogen and oxygen) prevents sharp fluctuations in reactor power; controls the specific power of the core, and adds ruthenium metal ions to the core fuel solution to catalyze H 2 o 2 Decompose, avoid UO 4 Precipitation occurs, and HNO is added after the hydrogen-oxygen recombiner in the reactor gas circuit 3 Nitrogen from radiolysis is directly converted to HNO 3 device and automatic continuous HNO supplementation 3 system that makes the reactor fuel solution HNO 3 Stable concentration, avoid HNO 3 A drop in concentration causes UO 2 +2 Hydrolysis and precipitation ensure the uniform stability of the fuel s...
