摘要： Based on the design of CLEAR (China LEAd-based Reactor), it is important to study the molten LBE (Lead-Bismuth Eutectic)/water interaction following an incidental steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) accident. Experiments were carried out to investigate the fragmentation behavior of the molten LBE/water contacting interface, with a high-speed video camera to record the fragmentation behavior of 300600 ℃ LBE at 20 ℃ and 80 ℃ of water temperature. Violent explosion phenomenon occurred at water temperature of 20 ℃, while no explosion occurred at 80 ℃. Shapes of the LBE debris became round at 80 ℃ of water temperature, whereas the debris was of the needle-like shape at 20 ℃. For all the molten LBE and water temperatures in the present study, the debris sized at 2.85.0 mm had the largest mass fraction. The results indicate that the dominant physical mechanism of the molten LBE fragmentation was the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability between LBE/water direct contact interface.

摘要： As a potential candidate for generation IV reactors, lead-alloy cooled reactor has attracted much attentions in recent years. The China LEAd-based research Reactor (CLEAR) is proposed as the primary choice for the accelerator driven subcritical system project launched by Chinese Academy of Sciences. Lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) is selected as the coolant of CLEAR owing to its efficient heat conductivity properties and high production rate of neutrons. In order to compensate the buoyancy due to the high density of lead-alloy, fixation methods of fuel assembly (FA) have become a research hotspot worldwide. In this paper, we report an integrated system of ballast and fuel element for CLEAR FA. It guarantees the correct positioning of each FA in normal and refueling operations. Force calculation and temperature analysis prove that the FA will be stable and safe under CLEAR operation conditions.

摘要： Among different heavy liquid metals (HLMs), lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) is considered at present as a potential candidate for the coolant of new generation fast reactors (critical and subcritical) and for liquid spallation neutron sources and accelerator driven systems (ADS). A high temperature liquid LBE loop, KYLIN-II-M, has been built to study the characteristics of corrosion and fluidity of LBE at the Institute of Nuclear Energy Safety Technology. However, due to the sensors and execution components of the loop work at high temperatures and in severely corrosive environments, the reliability and security of the data acquisition and control system (DACS) of KYLIN-II-M face challenges during the loop operation. In order to meet the urgent needs for KYLIN-II-Ms long-term stable operation, a virtualization and redundancy control system has been developed. The onsite operation result shows that the DACS is stable and reliable. In this paper, the experimental results are described in detail.

摘要： Oxygen control technology is a critical issue for compatibility of candidate structural materials with liquid lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) in accelerator driven systems. Performances of a self-developed Pt/air sensor and another one from Karlsruher Institute of Technology (KIT) were tested in stagnant oxygen-saturated liquid LBE. Calibrations showed that the trend and values of corrected electromotive force (EMF) of the self-developed sensor, with a bias voltage of 20 mV, were consistent with theoretical results above 425 ℃, and similar results were obtained in cross-calibration test with EMF value of KIT sensor as reference. In stability test at 450 ℃ for 100 hours, the KIT sensor performed better than the self-developed one, which showed signal fluctuations. Both sensors exhibited quick response to temperature variations in the responsiveness test.
