Abstract

Abstract

The application of the heat pipe reactor (HPR) urgently requires unmanned autonomous operation technology. Applying autonomous operation technology to HPR can realize state sensing, trend prediction and strategy optimization, which can effectively avoid human errors, improve the technical performance of HPR and expand the application fields of nuclear power. In this paper, the MegaPower reactor was used as the research object and the HPRTRAN program was used as the analysis tool to carry out an autonomous operation research based on the HPR start-up process, which is an important component of the HPR operation process, and then an autonomous operation framework consisting of monitoring and diagnosis layer, prediction layer and decision layer was established for the HPR start-up. The research results show that the prediction results of the autonomous operation system are highly accurate and the decision-making scheme is scientific and feasible. The research results can lay a foundation for the subsequent full realization of the unattended autonomous operation of the HPR.
