事故序列条件下气溶胶自然沉降特性实验研究

Experimental Study on Aerosol Natural Deposition under Accident Sequence Condition

  • 摘要: 发生严重事故时反应堆堆芯熔化,大量放射性物质随蒸汽释放至安全壳内并以气溶胶的形式存在,气溶胶会在重力沉降、泳动扩散等机制下在安全壳内自然沉降。随着严重事故序列的进行,安全壳热工环境不断发生转变,气溶胶的喷放特性如喷放时间长短、喷放速率等也会有所变化,这为安全壳内气溶胶的沉降行为带来了很大的不确定性。为探究大尺度安全壳内事故序列条件下的气溶胶的自然沉积行为,本文采用实验方法对真实事故条件下的气溶胶的自然沉降行为进行研究,重点关注气溶胶释放形式、释放时间、释放速率等因素对气溶胶自然沉降行为的影响,并初步探究了热工环境变化对气溶胶的沉降特性的影响。实验结果表明,事故条件下由于温度、压力的变化趋势一致,其对于气溶胶沉降的影响减弱。气溶胶的释放形式、释放时间、释放速率均对气溶胶浓度的变化规律产生较大影响。本文结果可为华龙一号等堆型的安全分析提供实验数据。

     

    Abstract: When severe accident occurs, reactor core melts, then a large amount of radioactive substances are released into containment with steam and exist in the form of aerosol. Aerosol will naturally deposit in containment under the mechanism of gravity deposition and diffusiophoresis. As the severe accident sequence progresses, the thermal environment of the containment continues to change, and the emission characteristics of the aerosol, such as the release time and release rate, will also change, which brings great uncertainty to the deposition behavior of the aerosol in the containment vessel. In order to explore the natural deposition behavior characteristics of aerosols under the conditions of accident sequence in large-scale containment, the large-scale aerosol comprehensive behavior experimental bench was used to study the natural deposition behavior of aerosol under the condition of real accident, and the passive cooling system in the form of heat exchanger used in HPR1000 was simulated by using our heat exchanger. The aerosol experiments of two accident sequences were mainly carried out, namely LLOCA (large break loss of coolant accident) and SBO (station blackout) accident. The two accident sequences were calculated by an integrated simulation program to obtain the variation of thermal parameters in the accident sequence. This experiment focused on simulating the change of thermal parameters in the containment to explore the influence of thermal parameters on aerosol deposition behavior. In addition, it focused on the influence of aerosol release form, release time, release rate and other factors on aerosol natural deposition behavior. The consistent law of thermal parameters such as pressure and temperature offsets the influence of thermal parameters on aerosol deposition rate to a certain extent. The release form, release time and release rate of aerosol have great influence on the variation of aerosol concentration. Under the same thermal and hydraulic conditions, the aerosol released by the large break has the fastest deposition rate, while the small break may cause the linear release of the same amount of aerosol with a second deposition time, while the linear aerosol released by the small break has the second longest deposition time, and the exponential aerosol released by other conditions has the longest deposition time. The aerosol concentration will peak for a short period of aerosol release, and then decrease exponentially. Long-term release may cause the containment gas space to remain in a state of high aerosol concentration for a long time, which increases the risk of aerosol release to the outside world through cracks in the containment vessel or pipes. The increase in the initial aerosol concentration will enhance the aerosol coagulation effect, resulting in an increase in the number of large-particle aerosols, which may in turn increase the aerosol removal rate. This study extends the use of the lumped exponential decay model and applies it to the changes in aerosol concentration under transient conditions. The experimental results show that it is still applicable to a certain extent, and further consideration can be given to partitioning calculations for aerosol stratification.
