  • Publication number: 20230230715
    Abstract: The invention relates to a field of nuclear reactor fuel temperature measurement and discloses a method of measuring nuclear reactor fuel temperature, comprising: S1: collect fission gas produced by nuclear reactors through a gas collection device, S2: measure pressure value and temperature value of the fission gas through pressure and temperature sensors, S3: obtain the corresponding fuel temperature by calculating the pressure value and temperature value, and the invention provides a method of measuring nuclear reactor fuel temperature, and it collects the fission gas discharged by fuels through a fission gas collection device, utilizes the sensitive relevance in a specific temperature range between the release amount of metal fuel fission gas and fuel temperature changes, and makes the pressure of metal fuel fission gas correspond to fuel temperature, thus to convert fuel temperature measurement which is difficult to achieve into fission gas pressure measurement which is easy to achieve.

  • Publication number: 20220344064
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a high-burnup fast reactor metal fuel, wherein the reactor core is loaded with metal fuel made of natural uranium alloy U-50Zr. The metal fuel manually controls the temperature to realize phase transition, increase burnup, and extend the service life of fuel; increases the fuel burnup to increase uranium utilization and reduce the pressure of disposing nuclear waste; extends the fuel life cycle to reduce nuclear power costs and improve the economy of nuclear energy; effectively carries out the timely release of fission gas and the periodic elimination of fuel defects, thus reducing the fuel-cladding mechanical interaction caused by swelling, and increasing the safety.
