Abstract:
By analyzing the energy production per neutron, neutron cumulative production per uranium and neutron cumulative sales per thorium in unit cell of Pebble Bed Fluoride Salt-cooled High Temperature Reactor(PB-FHR), some basic neutron physical parameters are determined. For the optimal choice, C/Th ratio is about 80, and the discharge burnup of thorium is between 140~200 MW·d/kg(Th); C/U ratio is between 400~600, and the discharge burnup of uranium is between 180~200 MW·d/kg(U). It is beneficial to set the core radial layout as thorium-uranium-thorium pattern.
