New research developments suggest that nuclear reactors using fusion may enter the market sooner than imagined even for mobile applications, like merchant ship propulsion and remote power generation. This article aims at pointing such developments and how they could affect nuclear fusion. The method is enumerating the main nuclear reactors concepts, identifying new technological or theoretical developments useful to nuclear field, and analysing how new recombination could affect feasibility of nuclear fusion. New technologies or experimental results do not always work the way people imagine, being better or worse for intended effects or even bringing completely unforeseen effects. Results point the following designs could be successful, in descending order of potential: aneutronic nuclear reactions using lattice confinement, aneutronic nuclear reactions using inertial along magnetic confinement, hybrid fission-lattice confinement fusion, and fission reactions.
新的研究进展表明,使用核聚变的核反应堆可能会比想象的更快进入市场,甚至用于移动应用,比如商船推进和远程发电。本文旨在指出这些发展以及它们如何影响核聚变。该方法列举了主要的核反应堆概念,确定了对核领域有用的新技术或理论发展,并分析了新的重组如何影响核聚变的可行性。新技术或实验结果并不总是像人们想象的那样起作用,对预期的效果或好或坏,甚至带来完全无法预料的效果。结果表明,以下设计可能是成功的,按势的降序排列:使用晶格约束的无中子核反应,使用惯性沿磁约束的无中子核反应,混合裂变-晶格约束聚变和裂变反应。

In this work, gamma-ray spectroscopy based on semiconductor hyper pure germanium (HPGe) detector was used to evaluate the activity concentrations of the natural radionuclides (U-238 (Ra-226), Th-232 and K-40) and the fallout nuclide (Cs-137) for thirty samples of igneous and sedimentary rocks of Al-Atawilah (Al-Baha). The mean values of the activity concentrations of U-238 (Ra-226), Th-232, K-40 and Cs-137 in the igneous samples are found as (11.0, 11.50, 1172.71, 1.47) Bq/Kg respectively. In the sedimentary rocks, the mean values of the activity concentrations of the natural radionuclides (U-238 (Ra-226), Th-232 and K-40) and the fallout nuclide (Cs-137) equal to (12.04, 13.18, 1131.36, 1.60) Bq/Kg respectively. The averages of radiological hazards (Raeq, Hex and Iγ) were calculated and found to be within the UNSCEAR permissible limit values (370 Bq/kg for Raeq, and 1 for Hex and Iγ), except for a slight increase of average value of Iγ in the igneous rock samples (1.36). The results indicate that the dose rate values depend on the kind of rocks (high in some igneous rock samples, and most of sedimentary rock samples have low dose rate). The activities of naturalnuclides were predicted and simulated in T time using a written MATLAB R2020a script based on the average activity concentrations and respective half-lives of U-238 and Th-232 series, and K-40, this is to evaluate the future effects of natural radionuclides on the population and estimate the human inputs in the future.
在这项工作中,基于半导体超纯锗(HPGe)探测器的伽马射线光谱法用于评估阿塔维拉(Al Baha)30个火成岩和沉积岩样品中天然放射性核素(U-238(Ra-226)、Th-232和K-40)和沉降核素(Cs-137)的活性浓度。火成岩样品中U-238(Ra-226)、Th-232、K-40和Cs-137的活性浓度平均值分别为(11.0、11.50、1172.71、1.47)Bq/Kg。在沉积岩中,天然放射性核素(U-238(Ra-226)、Th-232和K-40)和沉降核素(Cs-137)的活性浓度平均值分别等于(12.04、13.18、1131.36、1.60)Bq/Kg。计算了放射性危害的平均值(Raeq、Hex和Iγ),发现其在UNSCEAR允许的限值范围内(对于Raeq为370 Bq/kg,对于Hex和Iγ为1),除了火成岩样品中Iγ的平均值略有增加(1.36)外。结果表明,剂量率值取决于岩石的种类(一些火成岩样品的剂量率较高,而大多数沉积岩样本的剂量率较低)。基于U-238和Th-232系列以及K-40的平均活性浓度和各自的半衰期,使用MATLAB R2020a脚本在T时间内预测和模拟天然核素的活动,以评估天然放射性核素对人口的未来影响,并估计未来人类的投入。

A number of piping components in the secondary system of nuclear power plants (NPPs) have been exposed to aging mechanisms such as FAC (Flow-Accelerated Corrosion), cavitation, flashing, LDIE (Liquid Droplet Impingement Erosion), and SPE (Solid Particle Erosion). Those mechanisms may lead to thinning, leaking, or the rupture of components. Due to the pipe ruptures caused by wall thinning of Surry Unit 2 in 1986 and Mihama Unit 3 in 2004, pipe wall thinning management has emerged as one of the most important issues in the nuclear industry. To manage the wall thinning of pipes caused by FAC and erosion, KEPCO-E & C has developed ToSPACE program. It can predict both FAC & erosion phenomena, and also be utilized in the pipe wall thinning management works such as susceptibility analysis, UT (Ultrasonic Test) data evaluation as well as establishment of long-term inspection plan. Even though the ToSPACE can predict the five aging mechanisms mentioned above, only the FAC prediction result using ToSPACE was compared herein with the experimental result using FACTS (Flow Accelerated Corrosion Test System) to verify the ToSPACE’s capability. In addition, the FAC prediction result using ToSPACE was also compared with that of CHECWORKS that is widely used all over the world.
核电站二次系统中的许多管道部件已暴露于老化机制中,如FAC(流动加速腐蚀)、空化、闪蒸、LDIE(液滴冲击侵蚀)和SPE(固体颗粒侵蚀)。这些机制可能导致部件变薄、泄漏或破裂。由于1986年Surry第二单元和2004年Mihama第三单元的减壁导致管道破裂,管道减壁管理已成为核工业中最重要的问题之一。为了应对FAC和侵蚀导致的管道壁薄,KEPCO-E&C开发了ToSPACE程序。它可以预测FAC和侵蚀现象,也可以用于管道壁薄化管理工作,如敏感性分析、UT(超声波检测)数据评估以及制定长期检测计划。尽管ToSPACE可以预测上述五种老化机制,但本文仅将使用ToSPACE的FAC预测结果与使用FACTS(Flow Accelerated Corrosion Test System)的实验结果进行了比较,以验证ToSPACE。此外,还将ToSPACE的FAC预测结果与世界各地广泛使用的CHECWORKS的预测结果进行了比较。

Steam explosion is one of the crucial and poorly understood phenomena which may occur during severe accident scenario and may lead to containment failure. In spite of several experimental and analytical studies, the root cause of steam explosion has not been understood. Recent claims in the literature suggest that the presence of fine fragmentation during steam explosion causes its occurrence. In order to investigate this and understand the root cause of steam explosion, series of experiments were performed with 50 g to 2500 g of CaO-B2O3, a corium simulant in 4.5 litre of water. It was observed that steam explosion may occur even in the absence of fine fragments, which is contrary to the claims in the literature. To investigate further, conversion efficiency analysis was performed. This suggested that the amount of thermal energy converted to mechanical energy is more important deciding factor in explaining the occurrence of steam explosion. The present study discusses the importance of conversion efficiency in deciding steam explosion and also gives a new perspective to look at steam explosion phenomenology.
蒸汽爆炸是一种关键且鲜为人知的现象,可能发生在严重事故场景中,并可能导致安全壳失效。尽管进行了几项实验和分析研究,但蒸汽爆炸的根本原因尚不清楚。最近文献中的说法表明,蒸汽爆炸过程中细碎片的存在导致了其发生。为了研究这一点并了解蒸汽爆炸的根本原因,在4.5升水中使用50克至2500克CaO-B2O3(一种堆芯模拟物)进行了一系列实验。据观察,即使在没有细碎片的情况下,也可能发生蒸汽爆炸,这与文献中的说法相反。为了进一步研究,进行了转化效率分析。这表明热能转化为机械能的量是解释蒸汽爆炸发生的更重要的决定因素。本研究讨论了转换效率在决定蒸汽爆炸中的重要性,并为看待蒸汽爆炸现象学提供了一个新的视角。

In this research work, the upward transition probabilities for the transition levels, 0+ → 2+, 2+ → 4+, 4+ → 6+ and 6+ → 8+ levels of even-even neutron rich 104-114Ru isotopes have been calculated by using the Global Best Fit (GBF) method. In addition, the associated parameters such as, Quadrupole moment and Deformation parameter of even-even 104-114Ru have been calculated. The dependency of these nuclear parameters shows the nuclear magic number tendency.

One of the postponed problems of nuclear power (NP) is the problem of the management of long-lived radioactive waste (RAW), and, first of all, with minor actinides (MA), of which americium-241 is the most difficult. The aim of this work is to study the efficiency of americium transmutation in a fast reactor with a heavy liquid metal coolant lead-bismuth eutectic alloy. The article presents the results of calculations of the transmutation of americium in the SVBR-100 reactor using standard uranium oxide fuel with the addition of americium-241. The obtained values of the rate of transmutation of americium are compared with similar values for the SVBR-100 reactors on MOX-fuel and in the BN-800 reactor.

Towards Safer and More Sustainable Ways for Exploiting Nuclear Power 以更安全、更可持续的方式开发核能
Pub Date : 2020-06-16 DOI: 10.4236/wjnst.2020.103010

Future electricity systems are challenged by deep decarbonization and concurrently increasing demand and there are growing concerns that renewables cannot shoulder this alone. Starting from the proven principle of diversity, we argue for keeping the nuclear option open or even for expanding its use. However, the perspectives are dim for the current technology as safety concerns and social aversion remain as fundamental problems. While looking for future revolutionary safe and more sustainable nuclear concepts we first review the main characteristics of civil nuclear energy, as well as its safety records and technical progress. We then list the key requirements for innovative nuclear systems designs which are less dependent on active safety systems and human performance as well as social stability. This allows us to provide a concept by concept comparison and assessment of existing and novel technologies and designs including different coolants and neutron spectra. The results indicate a high potential for far-reaching improvements compared to most advanced LWRs, although none of the candidate concepts meets all requirements convincingly, yet, helium cooled, small modular reactors (HTR-PM) come closest. We end by stressing the need for future research and development, and keeping human capital and know-how in nuclear energy; we call for an urgent increase in government and international RD&D funding by the order of a few hundreds of billions of USD per year, which will likely lead to breakthroughs that will restart productivity growth in severely affected stagnating modern economies.
未来的电力系统面临深度脱碳和需求增加的挑战,人们越来越担心可再生能源无法独自承担这一任务。从已证明的多样性原则出发,我们主张保留核选项,甚至扩大其使用。然而,目前的技术前景黯淡,因为安全问题和社会厌恶仍然是根本问题。在寻找未来革命性的安全和更可持续的核概念时,我们首先回顾了民用核能的主要特征,以及其安全记录和技术进步。然后,我们列出了创新核系统设计的关键要求,这些设计较少依赖于主动安全系统、人类性能以及社会稳定。这使我们能够对现有和新技术和设计进行逐个概念的比较和评估,包括不同的冷却剂和中子光谱。结果表明,与最先进的LWR相比,有很大的潜力进行深远的改进,尽管没有一个候选概念令人信服地满足所有要求,但氦冷却小型模块化反应堆(HTR-PM)最接近。最后,我们强调未来研究和发展的必要性,并保留核能方面的人力资本和专门知识;我们呼吁紧急增加政府和国际研发资金,每年增加数千亿美元,这可能会带来突破,重启受严重影响的停滞现代经济体的生产力增长。

Analysis of Materials for Heat Transport in Tokamaks 托卡马克热传输材料分析
Pub Date : 2020-04-06 DOI: 10.4236/wjnst.2020.101005

Every nuclear power reactor, whether of fusion or fission, is essentially a thermal system that generates electricity. In this sense, there are several problems in relation to this heat transport.

每一个核反应堆,无论是聚变反应堆还是裂变反应堆,本质上都是一个发电的热系统。从这个意义上讲,存在与这种热传输有关的几个问题。在核聚变(sterellator和托卡马克)中,磁力约束等离子体的模型才成立20年,最近在产生等离子体的质量方面取得了一些成功。然而,由于来自等离子体的大量能量,由于核裂变标准需要处理非常高的温度,因此携带所产生能量的材料的选择相当麻烦。科学界探索了在超过盈亏平衡温度后输送初级电路中产生的能量的解决方案,并基于第四代裂变反应堆和目前正在运行的裂变反应堆的模型,以寻找有关输送产生电能的热量的解决方案。考虑并研究了几种材料,如加压水、钠、氦和硼,以形成换热器的主传热回路。对这些材料进行彻底分析是必要的。这项研究着眼于其中一些用于热传输和发电的材料。锂和氦被发现可能是在毯子中输送热量和冷却的材料。研究结果表明,毛毯材料的研究需要更多的关注。这些材料的质量需要通过材料研究来提高,ODS EUROFER合金和其他研究可以减少氦纳米气泡对材料的侵蚀。当使用液态锂时,需要提高等离子体质量以保持恒定且无杂质。

In this paper, Ruthenium Isotopes with neutron N = 60, 62 have been studied the ground state bands using Matlab computer code interacting boson model (IBM-1). We apply IBM-1 formula for O(6) symmetry in Ru isotopes with neutron N = 60, 62. The theoretical energy levels up to spin-parity 12+ have been obtained for 104,106Ru isotopes. The yrast states, gamma band, beta band, and B(E2) values are calculated for those nuclei. The experimental and calculated R4/2 values indicate that the even-even 104-106Ru isotopes have O(6) dynamic symmetry. The calculated results are compared to the experimental data and are found in good harmony with each other. The plots of the potential energy surface of both nuclei are O(6) characters.
本文利用Matlab计算机代码相互作用玻色子模型(IBM-1)研究了中子N = 60,62的钌同位素的基态带。我们应用IBM-1公式计算中子N = 60,62的Ru同位素的O(6)对称性。得到了104,106个钌同位素自旋宇称为12+的理论能级。计算了这些原子核的激发态、伽马带、β带和B(E2)值。实验和计算的R4/2值表明,偶偶104-106Ru同位素具有O(6)动态对称性。将计算结果与实验数据进行了比较,两者吻合较好。两个原子核的势能面图均为O(6)型。

Nucleus Directs the Electronic Structure of the Atom 原子核指导原子的电子结构

The present study supports the provocative idea that the nucleus directs the atom’s electronic structure. With the progress of the atomic number the Atomic Molar Volume evolution of the chemical elements obeys the atom’s electronic structure rules, fitting at the same time the concomitant specular evolution of the Neutron Excess addition to the nuclei. Details such as the Atomic Molar Volume contraction of the d blocks transition metals or of the Eu and Yb atomic volume anomaly of the lanthanoid metals respond to the nuclear in addition to the atom’s electronic structure. Atom’s nuclei are synthetized in the star interior and capture the electrons only after migration to the star’s periphery, to become stable atoms: nuclei are prior to atoms. Nuclear structure elements, like the 50 and 82 neutron and proton magic numbers, are geared to the noble gases, the central elements of the electronic structure.
目前的研究支持原子核支配原子电子结构这一激动人心的观点。随着原子序数的增加,化学元素的原子摩尔体积的演化服从原子的电子结构规律,同时符合伴随而来的中子附加到原子核的镜面演化。诸如d块过渡金属或Eu和Yb的原子摩尔体积收缩的细节,类镧金属的原子体积异常除了原子的电子结构外,还响应核。原子核是在恒星内部合成的,只有在迁移到恒星外围后才能捕获电子,成为稳定的原子:原子核先于原子。核结构元素,比如中子和质子的神奇数50和82,是与惰性气体相关的,它们是电子结构的中心元素。
