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.

摘要: In the nuclear reactor design, a code for automatically generated multi-temperature continuous-energy neutron cross section data library, which is called AMTND for short, was designed and developed to meet the need of the reactor core design coupled with thermal-hydraulic design. The code can provide a point-wise cross-section at any temperature for a Monte Carlo neutron transport program, such as MCNP. In ensuring that the nuclear data produced by AMTND meets the testing of critical benchmark experiments, the time-consumed by the nuclear data generating of AMTND compared with NJOYs was carried out and the result shows the codes excellence. In order to test the accuracy of the code, the Doppler coefficient test benchmark was also carried out and the results verified the code preliminarily.

摘要: An accurate and fast sampling method was developed on the modeling of a voxel phantom called Rad-HUMAN for radiation protection of MC-based radiation transport and simulation. The segmented organ voxels, which were assigned with three dimensional (3D) coordinates, were simplified through a two-step hybrid sampling algorithm. Firstly, certain voxels were sampled into a coordinate matrix by the nearest neighbor sampling. Secondly, the coordinate matrix was renewed using a weighted sampling. To compare visualization with the sampling, the resultant matrix was used to extract the contour of organs/tissues for constructing polygon-surface phantom. The feasibility and effectiveness of the sampling method was verified through the modeling of large organs (e.g. skeleton system) and application of transformation to MC computational geometries.
