Modeling and Code Development of HP-PRHRS for Molten Salt Reactor

热管式非能动余热排出系统(HP-PRHRS)概念设计可有效提升熔盐堆非能动安全特性。基于HP-PRHRS结构和熔盐堆运行特点,建立了一套较为完整的数学物理模型,涵盖了熔盐堆堆芯物理热工耦合、高温热管和HP-PRHRS运行等。采用上述模型开发了HP-PRHRS分析程序PRAC,利用MSRE基准题和瞬态实验数据进行了对比验证。结果表明:PRAC程序计算值与基准题和实验结果吻合良好,证明了模型和程序的准确性。HP-PRHRS模型和PRAC程序能为后续开展HP-PRHRS深入设计提供模型和软件基础。

The conceptual design of heat pipe cooled passive residual heat removal system(HP-PRHRS)was proposed to improve passive safety performance of molten salt reactor(MSR).Based on the structure of HP-PRHRS and the operation performance of MSR,a set of reasonable mathematical physical models were built,mainly including reactor core physical thermal model,high temperature heat pipe model and HP-PRHRS model.Analysis code PRAC for HP-PRHRS was developed for MSR adopting those models.The verification of the code was conducted using MSRE benchmark and the transient experimental data.The results show that the calculated value of PRAC code is in good agreement with the benchmark and experimental results,which proves the accuracy of the model and code.HP-PRHRS model and PRAC code can support and provide foundation for the future research on MSR.
