Abstract:
Neutron spectrum of fluoride salt cooled high temperature reactor (FHR) was calculated by 3D Monte Carlo transport program KENO-Ⅵ in SCALE6.1 software package. The flow model of the
16N source term in the primary coolant system was established using Mathematica code. The
16N source term in the primary coolant was quantitatively analyzed and the distribution of
16N source term in different regions of the primary coolant at different flow velocities was analyzed. The results show that
16N source term concentration is obviously affected when the flow rate is greater than 4.15×10
2 cm
3•s
-1 and less than 4.15×10
6 cm
3•s
-1. In the case of design velocity of FHR, the
16N source term in core accounts for 76.98% of the total
16N source term, the
16N source term in upper chamber accounts for 18.89%, and the rest accounts for 4.13%. The analysis method and conclusion can provide some references for the engineering design of FHR, the design of radiation protection and the accurate analysis of source terms.
