Abstract:
Since there are some weathered accidental inclusion in the sub-grade of a nuclear project in China,an integrative model including the sub-grade,foundation and super-structure were generated using the finite element software ANSYS to assess the influence of these weak rocks.Based on the geological data,the non-homogeneous rock conditions were accurately simulated and the sensitivity analyses to the parameters of weathered accidental inclusion were also carried out.Then the non-homogeneous settlement of the sub-grade rock,the internal force distribution of the raft and super-structure and the structural reinforced design were analyzed in detail,and the results provided a theoretical basis for obtaining the treatment solution of weak rocks.It demonstrated that the weak rocks in the specified limited scale have slight impact on the static capacity of the sub-grade since the surrounding good rocks can support the loads transmitted from the super-structure.The engineering practice also showed the relevant treatment solution is appropriate.

Abstract:
SEC drum-shaped filter structure in 1000 MW nuclear power plant was seismic analyzed by the seismic analysis method of response spectrum and the natural modes of each structure order combined using SRSS and the curves,and taking the amplify coefficient of several seismic waves as the input seismic load.The calculation results show that the maximal response for drum-shaped filter stress was 69.75 MPa at the connection between the main shaft and the A main spoke;the maximal response for displacement was 12.50 mm at the end of the main cross-beam.The strength meets the seismic requirement when checked by the third strength theory,but the limit of side sealing gap was 12 mm that did not meet the seismic requirement when the response value was bigger than the limit.To improve Seismic level of the drum-shaped,the side sealing gap should be increased.

2010, 31(6): 64-69.

Abstract(12) PDF(0)

Abstract:
Brayton cycle is the key technology for the fourth-generation nuclear reactor power cycle.This paper analyzed the carbon dioxide power cycle,and compared it with the most widely studied helium Brayton cycle.The result demonstrates that the unit mass of CO₂ absorbing less heat than Helium,resulting in larger cycle mass flow rate than Helium cycle under the same power;however,higher density of CO₂ makes smaller cycle volume flow rate.Because of the special physical properties of carbon dioxide,the CO₂ Brayton cycle,which can reach a higher level of efficiency at a lower temperature（650℃） and reduce the volume of heat exchanger and turbo machinery,has a great potential.

2010, 31(6): 75-79.

Abstract(15) PDF(0)

Abstract:
Experiment study on small channels oscillation in density lock is carried out.The invalidation of density lock is due to the stratified interface of one small channel going beyond during the process of oscil-lation,and a circulation is formed among small channels.Three solutions are proposed through the theoretical analysis: variability of diameter channels,reduction of pressure among channels and disturbance of homog-enization.According to these solutions,the density lock structures are designed and verified through experi-ment.The result shows that the variability of diameter channels would effect only when oscillation passed;the way of reducing pressure among channels would increase the length of density lock and the disturbance of homogenization could reduce the oscillation effectively.

Abstract(14) PDF(0)

Abstract:
Visualized experimental observation on flow patterns during the flow boiling of water under single-side heated and fluid-inlet sub-cooled conditions in a vertical narrow rectangular channel with the section of 40×3mm² were carried out.Four discernible flow patterns which were dispersed bubbly,and the coalesced bubbly,churn flow and annular flow were observed.Flow visualization in two dimensions of two-phase flow patterns for narrow rectangular channel,which provided intuitionistic evidence to distinguish flow patterns,were performed.Based on the experiment results,a flow pattern map for the single-side heated narrow rectangular channel was developed and then compared with some existing flow pattern maps.The comparison result showed that the flow patterns and its transition mechanisms are obviously different between the heated steam-water flows and the adiabatic air-water flows.

Abstract:
The Emergency Planning Zone（EPZ） of EPR unit was evaluated using the MELCORE Accident Consequence Code System 2（MACCS2） developed by Sandia National Laboratory.Hourly meteorological data were collected from Sep 2007 to Aug 2008 by the site meteorological monitoring system.The accident source term including the core inventory and release characteristics were based on EPR PSA Level 2.Based on NUREG-0396 and GB/T 17680.1-2008,this paper put forward the quantitative safety criteria.The effective dose and thyroid dose were calculated.By comparing the result to the protective guide and safety criteria,a radius of 0.5 km was evaluated for EPR unit in TSNPP.We suggested that a radius of 4 km is the reasonable conservative value of interior EPZ for TSNPP and for exterior EPZ the value is 7km.
