1 REACTOR HEAT GENERATION Th nrgy rlasd rom ission appars as kintic nrgy o ission ragmnts, ission nutrons and gamma and bta radiation. Approximatly 193 Mv is rlasd dirctly as a rsult o ission, and consists o that nrgy producd promptly at th tim o ission, and a latr dlayd componnt rsulting rom dlayd nutrons and dcay o radioactiv ission products. Th prompt componnt is associatd with th kintic nrgy o ission products, prompt ission nutrons and prompt ission gammas. An additional 7 Mv pr ission is producd by th captur o xcss ission nutrons and th subsqunt gamma and bta dcay o activation products. Thrmal nrgy (hat) is producd as ths particls intract with, and transr thir kintic nrgy to, th lattic atoms o th ul and othr ractor matrials. O th 2 Mv availabl rom a ission raction, approximatly 1 Mv is du to th kintic nrgy o nutrinos associatd with bta dcay and is unrcovrabl. Fission ragmnts and bta particls hav vry short rangs in ractor matrials and thir kintic nrgy can b considrd absorbd at thir point o origin. Approximatly 16 Mv is carrid as kintic nrgy o th ission ragmnts alon, and as such all o this nrgy would b dpositd locally in th ul. Gamma radiation on th othr hand has a rlativly long rang as compard to th dimnsions o th ractor ul and thror dposits its nrgy both in th ul, th modrator and ractor structur. Du to th larg mass o ul in th cor howvr, th maority o th gamma nrgy is dpositd in th ul, though th point o intraction may b ar rom th point o origin. In thrmal ractors, th nrgy rlasd by th ission nutrons is dpositd primarily in th modrator as a rsult o th thrmalization procss. In Light Watr Ractors whr th modrator and th coolant ar th sam, this rsults in approximatly 5 Mv pr ission dpositd dirctly into th coolant by nutron thrmalization alon. Th amount o hat producd in various ractor componnts is a unction o th ractor matrials and coniguration. This is particularly tru o th activation componnt. Th ollowing valus howvr provid guidlins whn mor prcis inormation is unavailabl.

O additional intrst is th hat producd by th dcay o th radioactiv ission ragmnts, thir daughtrs and activation products producd by xcss ission nutrons. At th bginning o cor li this nrgy is unavailabl. Howvr, ths radioactiv products rach quilibrium atr a short priod o tim, and at quilibrium constitut approximatly 7% o th ractor powr.

I w assum stady-stat opration, th hat gnration rat is indpndnt o tim and th volumtric hat gnration rat as a unction o position is q ( r v ) = G Σ ( r v, E) φ( r v, E) de (2) Th nrgy dpndnc o th lux is usually tratd by rwriting th intgral as th sum o intgrals ovr nrgy bands or groups v q ( r ) = G N G g = 1 E g 1 Σ E g v v ( r, E) φ ( r, E) de (3) and dining a group avragd lux and cross sction such that th ission rat ovr th group is prsrvd, i..

In thrmal ractors, th ission rat is dominatd by nutrons in th thrmal nrgy rang, primarily du to th larg macroscopic cross sction associatd with thrmal ission rlativ to th ission cross sction at highr nrgis. Th volumtric hat gnration rat can thn b approximatd as g g v q ( r ) = G N G = g 1 Σ g v v ( r ) φ ( r) GΣ g th v v ( r ) φ ( r ) th (8) which implis th hat gnration rat is proportional to th thrmal nutron lux distribution in th ul. 44
4 HEAT GENERATED IN A FUEL ROD Considr a long, thin ul rod orintd vrtically at som arbitrary point within a cylindrical cor. As th nutron lux is in gnral a unction o spac, th lux and thror hat gnration rat in any particular rod will b a unction o spac. Figur 1: Cor Flux Distribution in th Vicinity o a Ful Rod Du to th rlativly small cross sctional ara o a ul rod compard to that o th cor, th lux in th vicinity o th ul rod may b considrd constant in trms o th ovrall cor radial bhavior with th magnitud o th lux govrnd by th rod position. Th axial distribution in th rod howvr ollows th axial distribution in th cor. At any location within th cor, th thrmal lux within an individual ul rod is dprssd radially du to th strong nutron absorption in th ul. Thrmal Flux Modrator Fast Flux Ful Figur 2: Fast and Thrmal Flux Distributions in a Ful Rod I w assum th lux within th ul rod to b sparabl in th radial and axial dirctions thn φ ( r, z) = φ Φ( r) Ψ( z) (1) 45
5 with th amplitud φ a unction o cor position. This implis th volumtric hat gnration rat is also sparabl in r and z such that q ( r, z) = q Φ( r) Ψ( z) (2) Th total hat gnratd in th rod is th intgral o th volumtric hat gnration rat ovr th rod volum q = q (,) r z dv (3) V or or a cylindrical ul lmnt R H q = q Φ ( r)2π rdr Ψ ( z) dz (4) Assum or sak o illustration that th lux in th ul rod is uniorm radially and cosin shapd axially with z = th cor mid plan, i.. πz q (,) r z = q cos (5) whr H is th xtrapolatd cor hight. Th total hat gnratd in th ul rod would b q = q πr 2 q = q πr H 2 H or H πz cos H dz (6) H πh sin (7) π 2H whr R is th ul (pllt) radius. I th xtrapolation distancs ar small rlativ to th dimnsions o th ractor, thn 2 q q 2 R H (8) Rlationships which ar usul in dscribing th hat gnratd in ractor ul lmnts includ: Linar Hat Rat: Th linar hat rat q is dind to b th hat gnratd pr unit lngth in a ul lmnt. Local linar hat rat can b rlatd to th hat producd at a spciic location within a ul lmnt and th volumtric hat gnration rat at that location through th ollowing rlationships. Th total hat producd within a dirntial lngth dz about z is = v q ( z) dz q ( r, z) dadz A x (9) such that th local linar hat rat is = v q ( z) q ( r, z) da A x (1) 46

(12) H Th cor avragd linar hat rat can b obtaind rom th cor thrmal output, and th numbr o ul lmnts in th cor by rcognizing that th total hat gnratd in th ractor ul is simply th sum o th hat gnratd in th individual ul lmnts. I q i is th hat gnratd in an arbitrary ul lmnt, thn n n i i i= 1 i= 1 γ Q& = q = q H (13) whr : Q & = Cor thrmal output rom all sourcs γ = Fraction o cor thrmal nrgy gnratd in th ul n = Total numbr o ul lmnts I w din th cor avragd linar hat rat as 1 q n c q i n = i 1 (14) thn γ Q& = q nh (15) c or Q & γ q c = nh (16) It will b shown latr, that linar hat rat can b rlatd to ul tmpratur. As a rsult, maximum linar hat rat is usually st by ul mlt or othr maximum tmpratur considrations. For a givn ul hight, th maximum linar hat rat dictats th numbr o ul lmnts in a cor. Hat Flux: Th hat lux is th hat transr rat pr unit surac ara. Whil th hat lux can b rrncd to any surac, in ractors th hat lux is most otn rrncd to th outr clad surac, i.. th clad/coolant intrac. Assuming all hat transr in a ul lmnt is in th 47

(19) = H Th avrag hat lux in a particular ul lmnt is thn H 1 q q = q ( z) dz = = H P H w q A s. (2) As with th cor avragd linar hat rat, th cor avragd hat lux can b obtaind rom th cor thrmal output, and th numbr o ul lmnts in th cor by Q & γ Q & γ qc = = (21) na np H s w As will b shown latr, maximum hat lux is usually st by critical hat lux (DNB, Dryout) considrations. For a givn ul hight and numbr o ul lmnts, th maximum hat lux dictats th cross sctional dimnsions (radius, thicknss, tc.) o th ul. 48
8 HEAT GENERATED IN A REACTOR CORE W hav sn, that th total hat gnratd in th ractor ul is simply th sum o th hat gnratd in th individual ul lmnts γ n & = i= 1 Q q i (1) whr again th magnitud o q i is a unction o th ul lmnt s location in th cor. This is quivalnt to intgrating th ission rat ovr th ntir cor, i.. γ Q& = G ( r) φ( r) dv Σ v v (2) Vcor Du to th complx spatial distribution o th lux and th cross sction, this intgral can only b valuatd undr spcial conditions. Lt s considr on such spcial cas, whr w assum th ission cross sction is a constant in th ul, and zro i outsid th ul. Σ v v Σ o r r ( r v ) = (3) v v r r whr r v dnots locations within th ul. W din an quivalnt homognous cross sction or th ntir cor ( Σ = σ N ) such that th total numbr o ul atoms is consrvd. Th total hat gnratd in th ul can thn b writtn as γ Q & = G φ( r) dv Σ v Vcor (4) I N o is th ul numbr dnsity, thn th total numbr o ul atoms is NV = NV o ul cor N = N V o V ul cor (5) Th quivalnt homognous macroscopic cross sction can thn b writtn in trms o our original ul macroscopic cross sction as such that th total hat gnratd in th ul is ul ul Σ = N = N V V σ σ o = Σ o (6) V V cor cor 49

Evaluation o Equation 8 still rquirs spciication o th cor wid lux distribution. I w assum th local variations in th lux du to ul lmnts is small compard to th total lux, thn w can trat th cor as approximatly homognous and us Diusion v Thory or som othr suitabl nutron lux modl to gnrat φ( r ). On group Diusion Thory givs th ollowing simpl lux shaps or idalizd ractor gomtris.

To account or powr variations du to non idal gomtris and/or uncrtaintis du to manuacturing tolrancs and physical changs during opration, th concpt o a Hot Spot or Powr Paking Factor is introducd.

Exampl: A nuclar ractor is to b constructd to produc 3411 Mwt, 97.4 % o which is producd in th ul. Th ul lmnts ar in th orm o cylindrical rods. Th powr distribution prdictd by a nutronics analysis indicats a cor powr pak-to-avrag ratio o 2.5. Accidnt analyss plac th maximum allowabl linar hat rat at kw/t at any point in th cor and rquirs th maximum cor hat lux not xcd 474,5 Btu/hr-t 2 at any point. a) I th ul rods ar to b 12 t long, how many ul rods ar rquird? b) What diamtr ar th rods? c) In light watr ractors, th ul rods ar typically arrangd in a squar lattic.

12 HEAT GENERATION DURING SHUTDOWN In a ractor shutdown, th ractor powr dos not immdiatly go to zro, but alls o rapidly with a rat govrnd by th longst livd dlayd nutron prcursor. This may b asily shown i w assum that ractor powr can b dscribd by th point kintics quations dp ( ρ β ) Pk = + dt λ l i i C i (1) dci dt βipk = λic l i (2) or taking advantag o th dinition o ractivity dp ( k 1 βk) P = + dt λ l i i C i (3) dci dt βipk = λic l i (4) I w urthr assum that ollowing control rod insrtion, nutron multiplication is vry small ( k ) thn th solution or th powr may b approximatd by dp P + = dt λ l i i C i (5) dci dt = λ C (6) i i which has solution λ C () λ t t [ ] t / l i i i / l P( t) = P() + ( 1 l λi ) i (7) Not, l is th prompt nutron litim and is xtrmly short ( sconds) such that xponntial trms containing l di out quickly laving only thos asssociatd with th dlayd nutron prcursors. As tim progrsss, th short livd dlayd nutron prcursors also di out such that vntually only trms associatd with th longst livd dlayd nutron prcursor rmain and control th rat at which th ractor powr dcays. In addition to this rsidual ission nrgy, th ractor also continus to gnrat hat du to th dcay o ission ragmnts and activation products built up during opration. Th magnitud o this hat sourc and th rat at which it dcays dpnds partly on th oprating history o th cor. In particular, shutdown powr (P s ) dpnds on th oprating powr lvl (P o ), th oprating tim (t o ) at which th ractor opratd at powr lvl P o, and th shutdown tim (t s ). In rality, th dcay hat sourc is th many bta and gamma transitions o th xcitd nucli ormd as ission ragmnts or nutron captur products. To account or all, or vn most o ths dcay chains is impractical at bst or routin stimats o th dcay hat rat. As a rsult, mpirical its hav bn dvlopd which rlat th ratio o th dcay powr or shutdown powr o th ractor to th oprating powr in trms o th oprating and shutdown tims. Th spatial distribution o dcay hat can b assumd to ollow th oprating powr distribution.

20 HEAT GENERATION IN REACTOR STRUCTURE Gamma and nutron radiation manating rom th ractor cor intracts with and is absorbd by structural matrials such as cor barrls, prssur vssls, tc. Th absorbd radiation is convrtd into hat which must b rmovd. As cor barrls and ractor prssur vssls ar rlativly thin compard to thir diamtr, thy can b accuratly approximatd as slabs. Considr a monodirctional, mononrgtic gamma lux incidnt upon a slab wall as illustratd blow. x= x=l Figur 1: Gamma Radiation Incidnt on a Slab Wall Th intraction rat within th slab is givn by μφ( x ) whr μ is th total attnuation coicint. Photon intractions invitably lad to th production o short rang lctrons through Compton scattring, pair production, and th photolctric ct. W can again assum th dposition o th lctron nrgy occurs locally such that th hat gnratd by photons is proportional to th photon intraction rat. W thror writ th hat gnration rat as q ( x) = Eμ φ ( x) (1) whr μ a is th nrgy absorption coicint or th slab matrial at photon nrgy E. Valus o attnuation coicint and nrgy absorption coicint ar givn in Tabl 1. Th nrgy absorption coicint accounts or th raction o th incidnt photon nrgy carrid by th lctrons atr an intraction.
