Problems solved by technology

Judging from this incident, for the current pressurized water reactor that adjusts the concentration of boric acid in water to compensate for reactivity, it is very risky to install a large number of water-squeezing rod drive mechanisms outside the pressure shell head to implement "spectrum shift control"

Embodiment 1

[0037] In the pressure shell of a 1000Mwe pressurized water reactor, water-squeezing rod bundles with zirconium alloy cladding on the outside and depleted uranium dioxide core inside are installed in the hexagonal bundle fuel assembly of the core and on the six corner points And the cross-section is Y-shaped water squeezing rods, which are respectively connected to the dynamic cylinder of the built-in hydraulic drive mechanism in the pressure shell, and the static cylinder is fixed on the guide tube support plate, and the depleted uranium dioxide is squeezed out of the water rod at the beginning of the fuel cycle Insert the fuel assembly into the core, and extract it step by step during the burnup process. By changing the average water-uranium ratio of the core, the reactivity spectrum shift control of the reactor can be realized, thereby greatly reducing the boron concentration in the primary circuit water of the PWR during operation. (It is only necessary to increase the conc...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of nuclear reactor engineering, in particular to a follower component driven by a driving mechanism in a pressure shell and a water reactor adopting the same. The invention realizes the spectral shift control of a reactor and compansates the decrease of reactivity in a burn-up process by a depleted uranium (or thorium) compound follower, and adopts a dense weir and residential uranium compound fuel postprocessed by partially utilizing natural uranium and spent fuel, thereby greatly saving nuclear fuel and decreasing fuel cycle cost. A driving mechanisms driving a great amount of follower components are arranged in the pressure shell, so as to prevent the joint sections of the driving mechanism from penetrating through the upper sealing head of the pressure shell, carry out the spectral shift control under the condition without influencing the reliability of the pressure shell, lower the boron concentration of the water reactor in water in an operation process, avoid the occurrence of the problem of serious corrosion of the joint sections and the upper sealing head of the driving mechanism due to the penetration of boric acid through the upper sealing head of the pressure shell, reduce the possibility of elastic rod accidents and improve the safety.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear reactor engineering, in particular to a water squeeze rod assembly driven by a drive mechanism in a pressure vessel and a water reactor using the water squeeze rod assembly. The "spectrum shift control" of the reactor is realized by using the water squeeze rod assembly, and The use of "dense water fence" and partial use of natural uranium and residual uranium compound fuel after spent fuel reprocessing can greatly save nuclear fuel, reduce fuel cycle costs, and improve safety. Background technique [0002] "Spectrum shift control" is a method to adjust and control the reactivity of the reactor. When used to compensate for the decrease in reactivity caused by burnup, it is obviously superior to the three methods of adjusting the concentration of boric acid in water, neutron absorber control rods and combustible poisons. , which can save a lot of nuclear fuel consumption in nuclear power plants and ...
