Изобретение относится к области ядерной техники и может быть использовано при организации естественной циркуляции жидкометаллического теплоносителя в контуре теплоотвода ядерного реактора на быстрых нейтронах. Для создания движущего напора циркуляции без использования насосного оборудования и обеспечения требуемого направления естественной циркуляции жидкометаллического теплоносителя в контуре теплоотвода ядерного реактора на быстрых нейтронах в отсутствии теплопередачи от реактора перед заполнением трубопроводов и оборудования подъемного и опускного участков контура осуществляют их предварительный электронагрев соответственно до температур T 1 и Т 2 , которые выбирают из условия выполнения неравенства: ρ 1 (Τ 1 ) · g · ΔH 1 > ρ 2 (T 2 ) · g · ΔΗ 2 + ΔΡ, где: ρ 1 (T 1 ) - плотность жидкометаллического теплоносителя при температуре Т 1 трубопроводов и оборудования на подъемном участке; ρ 2 (Т 2 ) - плотность жидкометаллического теплоносителя при температуре Т 2 трубопроводов и оборудования на опускном участке; ΔH 1 — разница высот между входом и выходом подъемного участка; ΔΗ 2 - разница высот между входом и выходом опускного участка; ΔΡ - гидравлическое сопротивление контура; g - ускорение силы тяжести. Запуск циркуляции теплоносителя в контуре и переход в режим естественной циркуляции осуществляют одновременно и до выхода ядерного реактора на номинальные параметры работы путем создания движущего напора циркуляции за счет разницы плотностей p 1 (T 1 ) и ρ 2 (Т 2 ) жидкометаллического теплоносителя соответственно на подъемном и опускном участках контура.

摘要:
A passive cooling system of a pressurized water reactor that relies on a depressurization system to reduce the pressure in the reactor vessel in the event of a loss of coolant accident and vent the steam generated by the decay heat of the reactor core in a post loss of coolant accident stage. The depressurization results in a low pressure difference between the reactor vessel and the containment and enables gravity driven cooling system injection into the reactor vessel. The depressurization system includes a flow restrictor within an orifice in the reactor vessel wall that connects to a vent pipe which forms a flow path between the interior of the reactor vessel and the containment atmosphere when a valve within the vent pipe is in an open position. Preferably, the flow restrictor is a venturi that has a gradual contraction and a gradual expansion in the flow path area.

A pressurized water reactor (PWR) includes a vertical cylindrical pressure vessel having a lower portion containing a nuclear reactor core and a vessel head defining an integral pressurizer. A reactor coolant pump (RCP) mounted on the vessel head includes an impeller inside the pressure vessel, a pump motor outside the pressure vessel, and a vertical drive shaft connecting the motor and impeller. The drive shaft does not pass through the integral pressurizer. The drive shaft passes through a vessel penetration of the pressure vessel that is at least large enough for the impeller to pass through.

摘要:
A nuclear fuel assembly having a plurality of multi-leaf hold down spring sets extending from a top nozzle. Each spring set consists of a multiple number of springs leafs in order to provide a large working range of spring deflection. Each spring leaf has a straight, flat base section followed by a straight, flat tapered beam with a secondary spring set having a curvature at its peripheral end.

Heat from an ex-vessel mass of core material is removed to cooler regions of a containment envelope via liquid and/or vapor phase transport. Various aspects provide for contacting the ex-vessel core material with a material having properties including melting point, boiling point, and condensation kinetics such that condensation of the material in cooler regions of the containment envelope is at least as fast as evaporation of the material due to heat absorption from the core material and associated species.

A steam separator for a boiling water reactor includes a pressure vessel and a chimney spaced radially inwardly therefrom to define a downcomer therebetween for recirculating water, the chimney being disposed above a reactor core for channeling upwardly therefrom steam voids and water flow. An annular partition wall is spaced radially between the vessel and the chimney to define an annular collection chamber having an inlet for receiving a portion of the steam voids and water flow from the chimney, a steam outlet for discharging the steam voids from the chamber, and a flow outlet for discharging the water flow from the chamber into the downcomer.
