Abstract

The invention discloses a reactor core structure, a molten-salt pebble bed reactor and a fuel management and reactor core loading method of the molten-salt pebble bed reactor. An active region of thereactor core structure is provided with a charging opening located at bottom and a discharging opening located at top, the density of fuel spheres in the active region is lower than that of a molten salt in the active region, and fuel inventory capable of being contained by the active region is greater than preset fuel inventory of full-power operating days. According to the reactor core structure, the global unloading of the fuel spheres at lifespan ends can be achieved, and components achieving an online reloading function are not required, so that the device can be simple; the fuel spheres,which are subjected to global unloading at the lifespan ends, have no need of being treated one by one and directly enter a spent fuel treatment system, so that radioactivity can be lowered, the reliability of the device is improved, and thus, the purification of the fuel spheres can become simple; due to the reactor core structure, the fuel management and reactor core loading method can have anadjusting margin, and a running target is guaranteed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a core structure, a molten salt pebble bed stack and a fuel management and core loading method of the molten salt pebble bed stack. Background technique [0002] Based on the requirements of sustainability, economy, safety, reliability and non-proliferation of the fourth-generation nuclear energy system at the beginning of this century, the fluoride-salt cooled high-temperature reactor was proposed as an advanced reactor concept. The concept of fluoride salt originated from the ARE (Aircraft Reactor Experiment), MSRE (MoltenSalt Reactor Experiment), MSBR (Molten Salt Breeder Reactor), DMSR (DenaturedMolten Salt Reactor) designed and built by Oak Ridge Laboratory (ORNL) in the United States from the 1950s to the 1970s. ) and other liquid fluorine salt fuel molten salt experimental reactors, but because the fluorine salts and fuel in this experimental reactor are completely mixed together, there are factors such as complex on-lin...
