A series of Rossi-alpha measurements was performed on the University of New Mexico`s AGN-201 reactor to measure the effective delayed neutron fraction {beta} and the mean prompt-neutron generation time of the system A{sub m}. An example of one of the Rossi-alpha measurements is shown in Fig. 1. Because the reactor is reflected, multiple prompt-neutron decay modes were observed.

Research work is currently under way on the design and analysis of advanced gaseous core nuclear rocket concepts. The potentially very high operating temperatures encountered in the gas core nuclear reactor require detailed computational analysis of the fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and neutronics characteristics of such an assembly. Among the most important parameters needed for analysis are the optical and thermophysical properties of the uranium fuel; a detailed set of values is needed as a function of both temperature and pressure to correctly model the conditions that would exist in the gas core reactor.

Fast shutdown-margin calculation using perturbation theory with regionwise flux expansion 基于区域通量展开的微扰理论快速停机余量计算
Pub Date : 1994-03-01 DOI: 10.13182/NSE94-A19812

Shutdown margin is an important safety parameter in reload core design. In order to search for the most reactive control rod, it is necessary to calculate the worth of each rod, which will require much computing time if three-dimensional full-core calculation is performed. Recently, Smith developed a one-group model for fast shutdown margin calculations in SIMULATE-3. In this paper, a perturbation method with regionwise flux expansion is proposed for fast shutdown-margin calculations. Because it was observed that in cold conditions, with no voids present, the axial distribution of neutron flux will not change drastically when a single control rod is withdrawn from its full-in to full-out position, a two-dimensional model is adopted in this study.
停堆余量是堆芯设计中一个重要的安全参数。为了寻找最无功的控制棒,需要计算每根控制棒的价值,如果进行三维全芯计算,将需要大量的计算时间。最近,Smith在SIMULATE-3中开发了一种用于快速关闭余量计算的单组模型。本文提出了一种具有区域通量展开的微扰方法,用于快速计算关闭余量。由于观察到在无空洞存在的低温条件下,将单根控制棒从满入位置撤到满出位置时,中子通量的轴向分布不会发生剧烈变化,因此本研究采用二维模型。

This report focuses on the prediction of materials performance for the carbon steel corrosion-allowance container as a function of thermal loading for the potential repository at Yucca Mountain. Low, intermediate and high thermal loads were evaluated as to their performance given assumptions regarding the temperature and humidity changes with time and the resultant depth of corrosion penetration. The reference case involved a kinetic relation for corrosion that was utilized in a sensitivity analysis to examine the impacts of time exponent, pitting, and mirobiologically-influenced corrosion. As a result of this study, the high thermal load appears to offer the best corrosion performance. However, other factors must be considered in making the final thermal loading decision.

Direct containment heating experiments in Zion Nuclear Power Plant geometry using prototypic materials 锡安核电站几何形状使用原型材料的直接安全壳加热实验

Direct Containment Heating (DCH) experiments have been completed which utilize prototypic core materials. The experiments reported on here are a continuation of the Integral Effects Testing (IET) DCH program. The experiments incorporated a 1/40 scale model of the Zion Nuclear Power Plant containment structures. The model included representations of the primary system volume, RPV lower head, cavity and instrument tunnel, and the lower containment structures. The experiments were steam driven. Iron-alumina thermite with chromium was used as a core melt stimulant in the earlier IET experiments. These earlier IET experiments at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) provided useful data on the effect of scale on DCH phenomena; however, a significant question concerns the potential experiment distortions introduced by the use of non-prototypic iron/alumina thermite. Therefore, further testing with prototypic materials has been carried out at ANL. Three tests have been completed, DCH-U1A, U1B and U2. DCH-U1A and U1B employed an inerted containment atmosphere and are counterpart to the IET-1RR test with iron/alumina thermite. DCH-U2 employed nominally the same atmosphere composition of its counterpart iron/alumina test, IET-6. All tests, with prototypic material, have produced lower peak containment pressure rises; 45, 111 and 185 kPa in U1A, U1Bmore » and U2, compared to 150 and 250 kPa IET-1RR and 6. Hydrogen production, due to metal-steam reactions, was 33% larger in U1B and U2 compared to IET-1RR and IET-6. The pressurization efficiency was consistently lower for the corium tests compared to the IET tests.« less
利用原型堆芯材料完成了直接安全壳加热(DCH)实验。这里报告的实验是整体效果测试(IET) DCH计划的延续。实验采用了锡安核电站安全壳结构的1/40比例模型。该模型包括主系统体积、RPV下水头、空腔和仪表隧道以及下安全壳结构的表示。这些实验是用蒸汽驱动的。在早期的IET实验中,含铬的铁铝铝热剂被用作核心熔体刺激剂。这些早期在阿贡国家实验室(ANL)和桑迪亚国家实验室(SNL)进行的IET实验提供了尺度对DCH现象影响的有用数据;然而,一个重要的问题涉及到使用非原型铁/氧化铝铝热剂带来的潜在实验扭曲。因此,在ANL进行了原型材料的进一步测试。已经完成了DCH-U1A、U1B和U2三次试验。DCH-U1A和U1B采用了惰性密封气氛,与使用铁/氧化铝铝热剂的IET-1RR测试相对应。DCH-U2在名义上采用了与其对应的铁/氧化铝测试IET-6相同的大气成分。所有使用原型材料的测试都产生了较低的峰值密封压力上升;在U1A、U1Bmore»和U2中分别为45、111和185 kPa,而在IET-1RR和U2中分别为150和250 kPa。与IET-1RR和IET-6相比,U1B和U2中由于金属-蒸汽反应产生的氢气量增加了33%。与IET试验相比,堆芯试验的加压效率一直较低。«少

Interactions between drops of molten Al-Li alloys and liquid water 铝锂合金液滴与液态水的相互作用
Pub Date : 1993-08-01 DOI: 10.2172/10107057
M. Hyder, L. S. Nelson, P. M. Duda, D. Hyndman
Sandia National Laboratories, at the request of the Savannah River Technology Center (SRTC), studied the interactions between single drops of molten aluminum-lithium alloys and water. Most experiments were performed with ``B`` alloy (3.1 w/o Li, balance A1). Objectives were to develop experimental procedures for preparing and delivering the melt drops and diagnostics for characterizing the interactions, measure hydrogen generated by the reaction between melt and water, examine debris recovered after the interaction, determine changes in the aqueous phase produced by the melt-water chemical reactions, and determine whether steam explosions occur spontaneously under the conditions studied. Although many H{sub 2} bubbles were generated after the drops entered the water, spontaneous steam explosions never occurred when globules of the ``B`` alloy at temperatures between 700 and 1000C fell freely through water at room temperature, or upon or during subsequent contact with submerged aluminum or stainless steel surfaces. Total amounts of H{sub 2} (STP) increased from about 2 to 9 cm{sup 3}/per gram of melt as initial melt temperature increased over this range of temperatures.
应萨凡纳河技术中心(SRTC)的要求,桑迪亚国家实验室研究了单滴熔融铝锂合金与水之间的相互作用。大多数实验用“B”合金(3.1 w/o Li,天平为A1)进行。目的是开发用于制备和输送熔体液滴的实验程序,以及用于表征相互作用的诊断方法,测量熔体和水之间反应产生的氢,检查相互作用后回收的碎片,确定熔体-水化学反应产生的水相变化,并确定在所研究的条件下是否会自发发生蒸汽爆炸。虽然液滴进入水中后产生了许多H{sub 2}气泡,但在室温下,当温度在700至1000摄氏度之间的“B”合金小球在水中自由下落时,或在随后与浸没的铝或不锈钢表面接触时,不会发生自发的蒸汽爆炸。随着初始熔体温度在此范围内升高,H{sub 2} (STP)的总量从每克熔体约2 cm{sup 3}增加到9 cm{sup 3}。

Evaluation of the gas pressure resulting from an ITP waste tank deflagration 对ITP废液罐爆燃产生的气体压力进行评估

The in-tank precipitation (ITP) process will be utilized as one of the steps to prepare high-level radioactive liquid wastes for vitrification in the Defense Waste Processing Facility at the Savannah River site. Hydrogen (H2) and benzene (C6H6) will be generated in the ITP waste tanks (tanks 48 and 49) as a result of radiolysis and decomposition. The structural response of these tanks to a hypothetical deflagration accident is being analyzed as part of the ITP waste tank safety analysis, and this work was performed to define the range of potential gas pressure loadings. The ITP waste tanks are equipped with a nitrogen purge gas system that removes combustible gases from the tank's vapor space and displaces oxygen. The deflagration accident scenario assumes that the purge gas system has failed and that a combustible gas mixture accumulates because of the buildup of combustible gases and inleakage of air.

Critical technologies for reactors used in nuclear electric propulsion 核动力推进反应堆的关键技术
Pub Date : 1993-01-01 DOI: 10.2172/10171767

Nuclear electric Propulsion (NEP) systems are expected to play a significant role in the exploration and exploitation of space. Unlike nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) systems in which the hot reactor coolant is directly discharged from nozzles to provide the required thrust, NEP systems include electric power generation and conditioning units that in turn are used to drive electric thrusters. These thrusters accelerate sub atomic particles to produce thrust. The major advantage of NEP systems is the ability to provide very high specific impulses ([approximately]5000 s) that minimize the requirement for propellants. In addition, the power systems used in NEP could pro vide the dual purpose of also providing power for the missions at the destination. This synergism can be exploited in shared development costs. The NEP systems produce significantly lower thrust that NTP systems and are generally more massive. Both systems have their appropriate roles in a balanced space program. The technology development needs of NEP systems differ in many important ways from the development needs for NTP systems because of the significant differences in the operating conditions of the systems. The NEP systems require long-life reactor power systems operating at power levels that are considerably lower than those formore » NTP systems. In contrast, the operational lifetime of an NEP system (years) is orders of magnitude longer than the operational lifetime of NTP systems (thousands of second). Thus, the critical issue of NEP is survivability and reliable operability for very long times at temperatures that are considerably more modest than the temperatures required for effective NTP operations but generally much higher than those experienced in terrestrial reactors.« less
核动力推进(NEP)系统有望在太空探索和开发中发挥重要作用。与核热推进(NTP)系统不同,在NTP系统中,热反应堆冷却剂直接从喷嘴排出以提供所需的推力,NEP系统包括发电和调节装置,这些装置反过来用于驱动电动推进器。这些推进器加速亚原子粒子以产生推力。NEP系统的主要优点是能够提供非常高的比脉冲([大约]5000秒),从而最大限度地减少对推进剂的需求。此外,NEP中使用的电力系统可以提供双重目的,也为目的地的任务提供电力。这种协同作用可以在分担开发成本方面加以利用。NEP系统产生的推力明显低于NTP系统,而且通常质量更大。这两个系统在平衡的太空计划中都有其适当的作用。NEP系统的技术开发需求在许多重要方面与NTP系统的开发需求不同,因为系统的运行条件存在显著差异。NEP系统需要长寿命的反应堆动力系统,其运行功率水平远低于NTP系统。相比之下,NEP系统的运行寿命(年)要比NTP系统的运行寿命(数千秒)长几个数量级。因此,NEP的关键问题是在比有效NTP运行所需温度低得多的温度下长时间的生存能力和可靠的可操作性,但通常比地面反应堆的温度高得多。«少

Thus, the critical issue of NEP is survivability and reliable operability for very long times at temperatures that are considerably more modest than the temperatures required for effective NTP operations but generally much higher than those experienced in terrestrial reactors.« less","PeriodicalId":23138,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the American Nuclear Society","volume":"44 1","pages":"17908"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75322916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The accelerator transmutation of waste (ATW) concept is aimed at destroying key long-lived radionuclides (both actinides and fission products) in nuclear wastes, thereby reducing the long-term risks associated with the storage of such wastes. This technology could evolve into an approach to the production of fission power, utilizing abundant natural fuels and producing minimal long-lived nuclear waste. An ATW system would consist of the following components: 1. proton accelerator; 2. heavy-metal target; 3. moderating blanket; 4. thermal-to-electric power conversion plant; and 5. chemical separation facility. The linear accelerator provides a medium-energy, high-current proton beam that is directed at a heavy-metal target. The target converts the proton beam through spallation reactions into an intense neutron flux that is thermalized in the blanket region surrounding the target. The radioactive material to be transmuted is circulated through the blanket, where it undergoes neutron-induced reactions. Long-lived fission products undergo (n, [gamma]) reactions followed by beta decay, producing short-lived or stable products. The actinides are fissioned, producing additional neutrons and an assortment of fission products to reduce parasitic absorption in the blanket and to prevent further activation of these materials to long-lived radionuclides.
废物加速嬗变概念的目的是摧毁核废料中的关键长寿命放射性核素(锕系元素和裂变产物),从而减少与储存这类废料有关的长期风险。这项技术可以发展成为一种生产裂变能源的方法,利用丰富的天然燃料,产生最小的长寿命核废料。ATW系统将由下列部分组成:质子加速器;2. 重金属的目标;3.缓和的毯子;4. 热电转换装置;和5。化学分离设施。直线加速器提供一种中等能量、高电流的质子束,直接指向重金属目标。目标通过散裂反应将质子束转化为强烈的中子通量,在目标周围的包层区域热化。要被转化的放射性物质在毛毯中循环,在那里它经历中子诱导的反应。长寿命的裂变产物经历(n, [γ])反应,随后发生β衰变,产生短寿命或稳定的产物。锕系元素发生裂变,产生额外的中子和各种裂变产物,以减少毯中的寄生吸收,并防止这些物质进一步活化为长寿命的放射性核素。
