The design of a case fuel assembly for a higher power reactor is a combination of thin fuel elements (6.1 mm) with U-Pu fuel and a wide grating (relative pitch 1.39) with spacing of the gratings. For a low-power reactor, in this paper, three fuel assemblies (diameter of fuel rod 8.1 mm, relative pitch 1.16) were considered: without a cover, with a cover 1 mm apart from the peripheral row of fuel rods and with a cover spaced 0,5 mm from the peripheral row of fuel rods. Calculations were carried out using the COBRA-IV-I code. Data were obtained on the azimuthal temperature distributions on the claddings of the corner, peripheral and central fuel rods, temperatures on the surfaces of the covers, and calculations were performed to optimize the designs of fuel assemblies in order to reduce the temperature difference on the claddings of the peripheral fuel rods. For a large-power reactor, optimization of the configuration of the corner cell was proposed in order to reduce the azimuthal temperature difference at the corner and peripheral fuel rods. For a low-power reactor, optimization of the fuel assembly design is recommended by replacing the spacer grids with wire spacing and equalizing the temperature field by mixing the coolant, as well as increasing the relative pitch of the fuel element grid from 1.16 to 1.19.","PeriodicalId":20426,"journal":{"name":"PROBLEMS OF ATOMIC SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY.

The review based on the scientific, technical and patent literature shows wide application heat pipes as heat transfer devices. Using of them for small and super-small power plants seems to be especially effective, because of high specific cost of plants with circulating coolants. A heat pipe is a device transferrind the heat by means of evaporation and condensation of a coolant circulating automatically under the action of capillar or gravitation forces. Heat pipes are used rather widely, both abroad and in Russia. The first application of a heat pipe principle in nuclear power plants was published in 1957, even before the emergence of the term \"heat pipe\". Now, there are about 300 patents in the world related to heat pipes application in nuclear power plants. Theare are seweral thouthands articles on the development of nuclear reactors with heat pipes have been published in the scientific and technical literature. One should expect that fifth-generation nuclear reactors cooled by heat pipes without any mechanisms and machines for the circulation of the coolant, as well as without the consumption of mechanical and electrical energy, will be appeared in this decade.","PeriodicalId":20426,"journal":{"name":"PROBLEMS OF ATOMIC SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY.

A sharp increase in the heat transfer coefficient is shown even when adding water with a mass content of 0.1 % to the air flow. The factors that determine the efficiency of the heat exchange process are listed: the shape of the water spray jet, the distance from the outlet point of the water-air flow to the heat exchange surface, the characteristics of the heat exchange surface, the method of jet formation, the size of droplets and the location of the outlet points of the gas-droplet flow. The weak applicability of the data available in the literature is shown for calculating the cooling of finned tubes of industrial heat exchangers using a water-air mixture. It is substantiated that in order to establish the most optimal cooling modes for each for a separate heat exchange surface, it is necessary to conduct experimental studies, due to the complexity of heat transfer processes and the presence of a large number of influencing factors. It is shown that the finned tubes of heat exchangers of the passive heat removal system of WWER-1200 have a number of important features that affect the efficiency of their cooling using a water-air mixture. An experimental setup has been developed and a technique has been proposed for performing experiments to study these processes as applied to heat exchangers of a passive WWER safety system.","PeriodicalId":20426,"journal":{"name":"PROBLEMS OF ATOMIC SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY.

However, oxide films are not absolutely impermeable barriers for the components of steels (primarily iron), which, as a result of diffusion processes, inevitably enter the coolant and can interact with oxygen to form solid-phase oxides. Within the framework of this work, a method is considered for obtaining the numerical values of the quantities characterizing the processes of dissociation of iron oxides as a function of temperature and oxygen potential of HLMC. The performed calculations made it possible to obtain specific numerical values of the limiting solubilities of iron oxides as a function of the temperature and the initial state of the coolant with respect to iron and oxygen impurities, and also made it possible to obtain numerical values of other thermodynamic parameters characterizing the current and limiting state of HLMC. The considered approach is of a general nature and can be used in experimental studies of the kinetic and thermodynamic characteristics of the dissociation processes of compounds in liquid metals.","PeriodicalId":20426,"journal":{"name":"PROBLEMS OF ATOMIC SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY.

By the example of a vertical isothermal surface, it is shown that for different values of the longitudinal coordinate there is a characteristic point at which the longitudinal velocity reaches its maximum value (umax) at the corresponding value of the transverse coordinate (ymax). This point divides the fluid flow along the heat exchange surface into two zones: an internal one adjacent to the wall and an external one located beyond the maximum value of the velocity. Taking for the characteristic scale umax and ymax and presenting experimental data in dimensionless form u/umax = f(y/ymax), generalization of experimental data obtained. The results of processing the experimental data of various authors are well generalized by the dependences obtained in the work for the velocity profile in the inner and outer zones of the coolant flow. The velocity profile at the horizontal, downward-facing heat transfer surface is characterized by the same regularities as for the vertical surface: the velocity in the near-wall region increases, reaches a maximum and then decreases. The results of processing the measured velocity profile for a horizontal cylinder according to the method proposed in the work show agreement with the generalized data for a vertical isothermal surface. The data of experimental studies of the velocity field around an isothermally heated sphere with free convection in water are also well generalized by the dependences proposed in this work. The analysis of the experimental data on the velocity profiles for various forms of heat-transfer surfaces under conditions of natural turbulent convection, carried out by the authors, shows that the velocity profile proposed by the authors along the normal to the heat exchange surface has a universal character.","PeriodicalId":20426,"journal":{"name":"PROBLEMS OF ATOMIC SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY.

Typically, crucibles withstand one or more heats and then break down. The possibility of using nanostructured ceramic crucibles based on ZrO2-MgO-CaO to obtain a U-10 % Zr alloy in an induction electric furnace has been substantiated at IPPE. Crucibles were made in JSC “ONPP “Tekhnologiya” named after A.G. Romashin” from a mixture of zirconium dioxide powders, partially stabilized with nanocrystalline CaO and MgO in a ratio of 30 and 70 wt. %, using two-stage sintering. Such crucibles have a sufficiently high resistance to thermal shock in contact with melts of metals and alloys and withstand 1-3 melts without destruction. Crucibles with various densities (from 5.206 to 5.29 g/cm3) and porosity (from 5 to 9 %) were tested under conditions of heating the melt at a rate of 12 to 19 °C/min to a maximum temperature of 1455 to 1560 °C. The tested crucible ZrO2-MgO-CaO was inserted into a graphite crucible to prevent leakage of the melt in the electric furnace in case of destruction of the ceramic crucible. There was no complete destruction of the crucibles; some crucibles with small cracks could be reused. The best result (three melts) was obtained when using such a crucible with a porosity of about 5 % for melting a charge containing uranium and zirconium. In order to determine the degree of interaction of a uranium-zirconium melt with a crucible based on ZrO2-MgO-CaO, the microstructure and microhardness of the crucible surface in contact with the melt were studied at an elevated temperature of 1600 °C.

The possibility of carrying out such experiments in the RR IR-8 will make it possible to contribute to the development of new generation IV nuclear power plants, one of the areas of which is a reactor with super-critical parameters coolant. This direction is promising, as the use of the SCW coolant technology will increase the efficiency of the reactors by 10-12 %. Irradiation experiments in RR IR-8 are carried out using experimental ampoule rigs. During developing the design of an ampoule rig with experimental fuel elements, it is required to provide the necessary heat transfer from the fuel element to the water of the reactor pool, and to maintain the pressure of the SCW coolant by the structure of the ampoule rig vessel. The calculations of heat release in the experimental fuel elements and the accumulation of fluence in the cladding were carried out using the MCU-PTR code with the MDBPT-50 database, which implements the Monte Carlo method. The assessment of heat release in fuel elements during irradiation of an ampoule rig in the cells of the IR-8 core and reflector was carried out.

An assessment of the contribution of heat release from gamma heating of the ampoule rig structure elements was carried out, which showed that the amount of heat release can be comparable with the energy release due to the fuel fission reaction in an experimental fuel element, which must be taken into account when calculating the temperature irradiation regimes of experimental fuel elements.
