Concept Research on Blanket Neutronics of Fusion-Fission Hybrid Reactor for Energy Production

  • 摘要: 介绍了次临界能源堆包层中子学概念研究进展。采用MCNP与ORIGENS耦合的输运燃耗程序MCORGS开展研究。利用一维模型改进了产氚区和屏蔽区的设计。产氚区采用多区分层布置,降低水对中子的吸收,大幅减少了Li4SiO4的用量。屏蔽区采用铁和水多区分层布置,包层泄漏中子数为10-4量级,超导线圈沉积热小于60 kW,28 a内中子注量小于1022m-2。针对不同的铀水体积比(RV),探讨了相应的后处理策略。随着RV的减小,需去除的裂变产物相应增加。建议采用RV=2的物理设计,平常只需作燃料重整,每隔几十年作1次高温干法去除沸点在3 600 K以下的裂变产物即可。最后,参考国际热核实验堆几何结构,建立三维包层模型,进行了初步研究。

     

    Abstract: Concept research progress on blanket neutronics of a fusion-fission hybrid reactor for energy production was introduced. MCORGS, a burnup code coupled by MCNP and ORIGENS, was used in the research. Both tritium production zone and shielding zone were improved based on a one dimension model. Tritium production zone consists of several layers of Li4SiO4 seperated by water. Compared with the former design, both neutron absorption in water and the mass of Li4SiO4 are reduced dramatically. Shielding zone consists of several steel layers separated by water. Neutron leakage from the blanket is in the order of 10-4. For magnetic coils,it is estimated that heat deposition power is less than 60 kW, accumulated neutron flux is below 1022m-2 within 28 years. Reprocessing strategies were discussed according to different volume ratio (RV) between uranium and water. As RV decreases, more fission products need to be cleaned. It is suggested that RV equals 2 is used in the design so that the fuel can be remanufactured every 5 years and pyro-reprocessing, which can move fission products of boiling point less than 3 600 K, is needed every tens of years. In the last part, a 3-dimension blanket model, which is similar in International Thermonuclear Experiment Reactor’s geometry, was built and its neutronics was analyzed.
