Abstract

Abstract

In order to study the concept of organic-cooled reactor, this paper firstly analyzes the important characteristics and key technical problems of the organic fluid used as the reactor coolant and moderator, as well as the main technical schemes for organic-cooled reactors. On this basis, this paper studies the neutronic characteristics of the 5 MW microreactor core. As shown in the study, under the same core layout conditions, the absolute value of the moderator temperature coefficient of the organic-cooled reactor is below that of the pressurized water reactor (PWR), and the power distribution is more flat. The study results from this paper can provide an important reference for the determination of the technology roadmap for multi-purpose microreactor power supplies and heating systems, which are rapidly developed in China.
