To this end, this paper constructs a mathematical model and evaluation program for the CCS, utilizing an improved genetic algorithm suitable for solving constrained complex multi-objective optimization problems. The design temperature of the CCS and several large design flow rates are selected as optimization variables, while weight, volume, investment cost, and energy consumption are set as optimization objectives. The aim is to use optimization design methods to determine the impact of important parameters of the CCS on its design. The results indicate that, under the premise of ensuring the safety of nuclear power plants, the optimization algorithm can effectively identify the optimal combinations of optimization variables, leading to relative optimal solutions for the four objectives: a maximum reduction of 18.1 % in weight, 21.3 % in volume, 11.5 % in investment cost, and 28.7 % in energy consumption.

Understanding these heat transfer characteristics becomes particularly crucial as the system transitions through subcritical regions, where abrupt property variations and phase change effects could significantly impact operational stability and safety. To address these challenges, the heat transfer properties of subcritical CO2 in a vertically arranged tube with a heated length of 750 mm and a diameter of 4 mm were investigated in this work. The effects of heat flux, pressure, and mass flux on the heat transfer characteristics were analyzed. Results indicated that with increased heat flux, heat transfer deterioration (HTD) occurs, leading to a peaky wall temperature. Increasing pressure reduces the surface tension of CO2 leading to earlier HTD. Additionally, higher mass flux slightly improves heat transfer coefficient under saturated boiling. Four correlations were selected to estimate the accuracy of predicting the heat transfer coefficient by the test result. The Fang correlation (Fang, 2013) was shown to exhibit the most accurateness than other correlations considered with average deviation and standard deviation of 2.42 % and 43.98 %, respectively.

Understanding this effect is crucial for assessing the risks associated with non-condensable gas accumulation in R/B, particularly considering that the hydrogen explosion in 1F3 may not have been a single-stage event but could have involved a multi-stage explosion. To investigate the distribution and transport on non-condensable gas under varying cooling conditions, an experimental study was conducted using the CIGMA facility, a large-scale test vessel with segmented sections created by partition plates, designed to replicate the structure and conditions of the R/B. Steam and helium, used as non-condensable hydrogen substituted, were continuously injected at the top of the CIGMA vessel for 10,000 s to replicate the leakage of steam and hydrogen through the shield plug. Two cooling conditions were tested: Case 1 with a cooling temperature of 50 °C, and Case 2 with a cooling temperature of 90 °C. The experiments aimed to explore how varying cooling temperatures impact helium accumulation in different regions of the R/B structure. The study found that in both cases, the highest concentration of non-condensable gases may not always be near the injection point but rather in downstream regions. In these regions, steam and non-condensable gases move downward and continue to condense, significantly enhancing the concentration of helium. Specifically, in Case 1, after 10,000 s, the helium concentration reached 65 % in the middle region (representing the 4th floor of R/B) and 45 % in the top region (representing the 5th floor of R/B). Analysis using the Shapiro ternary diagram showed that, under these conditions, the gas mixture in the middle region posed a potential detonation risk.

However, the coupling between the HPCR and the energy conversion system complicates load tracking control. In this study, a comprehensive dynamic model of an HPCR coupled with a closed-air Brayton cycle (CABC) is developed. This model integrates a neutron kinetics point reactor model, a thermal resistance network model for the heat pipe, and a CABC model representing the power conversion system. To achieve effective load tracking, a control scheme for the Brayton cycle power is proposed, combining turbine bypass control with inventory control. The system's response to load variations, from 100 % full power (FP) to 50 % FP at a rate of 5 % FP/min, is analyzed, considering reactor power self-regulation. The results indicate that the reactor power exhibits an overshoot of −4.36 % and stabilizes after 2100s, while the fuel average temperature fluctuates within ±4.6 °C and stabilizes at 2240s. Building on the dynamic performance of the HPCR-CABC system, a reactor power control scheme is developed by adjusting control drums to introduce external reactivity. This scheme successfully controls reactor power at a steady state within 720s, without fluctuation. However, the fuel average temperature fluctuates by more than 10 °C, stabilizing after 9450s. To improve control effectiveness, a temperature correction channel is incorporated into the reactor power control system. As a result, the fuel average temperature fluctuates within ±0.3 °C and stabilizes at the design value of 699.4 °C within 860s. Compared to previous control schemes, the improved cascade reactor power control scheme results in a shorter stabilization time for the fuel average temperature. To assess the adaptability of the proposed HPCR-CABC coordination control strategy, simulations are conducted for load reductions from 100 % FP to 80 %, 60 %, and 40 % FP at a variation rate of 20 % FP/min.
