基于MOOSE平台的棒状燃料元件性能瞬态分析程序开发与验证

Development and Validation of Fuel Rod Performance Transient Analysis Code Based on MOOSE Platform

  • 摘要: 作为反应堆系统的核心部件,燃料元件的性能对于反应堆的安全运行至关重要,准确预测燃料元件在瞬态事故下的行为变化对于反应堆安全分析具有重要意义。本文针对基于有限元平台MOOSE开发的棒状燃料元件性能分析程序BEEs进行功能扩展,添加了适用于反应性引入事故(RIA)和冷却剂丧失事故(LOCA)的行为模型并进行了对比验证。采用CABRIRIA Na2和NRULOCA MT4实验分别对两种工况下的程序整体分析功能进行验证。结果显示,BEEs程序在瞬态实验的整体分析中能合理预测燃料温度变化、力学变形和内压演变,表明BEEs程序中添加的包壳弹塑性、高温蠕变、高温相变、高温氧化和包壳失效模型适用于瞬态事故计算,程序具备了瞬态事故工况下的燃料性能分析能力。

     

    Abstract: As the core component of the reactor system, the performance of fuel rod is very important for the safe operation of the reactor. It is of great significance to accurately predict the behavior change of fuel rod under transient accident for reactor safety analysis. Fuel behavior models applicable to reactivity insertion accident (RIA) and loss of coolant accident (LOCA) were implemented in fuel rod performance analysis code BEEs, which was developed based upon the finite element platform MOOSE, and validations of separate models against experimental data were conducted. Integral analyses of CABRIRIA Na2 and NRULOCA MT4 tests were conducted to validate the modeling capacity of BEEs during RIA and LOCA, respectively. The results show that the overall modeling capacity of BEEs code for PWR fuel rod during transient accidents can be verified, predictions by BEEs code of fuel temperature, mechanical deformation and internal pressure in integral analyses are reasonable, which indicates the extended models of elastic-plasticity, high-temperature creep, phase transition, high-temperature oxidation and failure criteria of cladding are applicable to the performance analysis of fuel rod under transient accidents further.
