Development of numerical evaluation method for heat transportation with sodium mist in the cover gas region of sodium-cooled fast reactor

Hayakawa, Satoshi*; Hagiwara, Hiroyuki*; Imamura, Akira*; Onoda, Yuichi; Tanaka, Masaaki; Nakamura, Hironori*

Proceedings of 13th Korea-Japan Symposium on Nuclear Thermal Hydraulics and Safety (NTHAS13) (Internet), 8 Pages, 2024/11

In a sodium-cooled fast reactor, a cover gas region filled with argon gas is located above the sodium pool in the main vessel to prevent the hot sodium from contacting the structures. This region involves heat transportation by natural convection of the cover gas, radiation among liquid surface and structures, and sodium phase change between mist and vapor. In this study, the numerical evaluation method has been developed with a commercial CFD code, Fluent, incorporating the sodium mist transport and growth models, and the radiation scattering model. Simulations of a laboratory scale test with a cylindrical cover gas region was carried out for the validation of the method and showed that the temperature distribution and sodium mist concentration in the cover gas region are in good agreements with the test results. A simulation of a pool-type sodium cooled fast reactor has also conducted and the basic aspect of physical phenomena taking place in the cover gas region were evaluated.

Thermal-hydraulic design calculations for JRR-3 cold neutron source with the new moderator cell

Tokunaga, Sho; Horiguchi, Hironori; Nakamura, Takemi

The cold neutron source (CNS) of the research reactor JRR-3 converts thermal neutrons generated in the reactor into low-energy cold neutrons by moderating them with liquid hydrogen stored in the moderator cell. Cold neutrons generated by the CNS are transported to experimental instruments using neutron conduits, and are used for many studies of physical properties, mainly in life science, polymer science, environmental science, etc. Improvement of cold neutron intensity is essential to maintain competitiveness with the world's research reactors in neutron science, and we are developing a new CNS that incorporates new knowledge. The current moderator cell for the CNS of JRR-3 is a stainless-steel container which is a canteen bottle type, and the cold neutron intensity can be improved by changing the material and shape. Therefore, the basic specifications of the new moderator cell were changed to aluminum alloy which has a smaller neutron absorption cross section, and the shape was optimized using a Monte Carlo code MCNP. Since these changes in specifications will result in changes in heat generation and heat transfer conditions, the CNS of JRR-3 was re-evaluated in terms of self-regulating characteristic, heat transport limits, heat resistance and pressure resistance, etc., to confirm its feasibility in thermal-hydraulic design. This report summarizes the results of the thermal-hydraulic design evaluation of the new moderator cell.

Application of CFD code with debris-bed coolability assessment model to pool Type SFR

Nakamura, Hironori*; Hayakawa, Satoshi*; Shibata, Akihiro*; Sasa, Kyohei*; Yamano, Hidemasa; Kubo, Shigenobu

Proceedings of 12th Japan-Korea Symposium on Nuclear Thermal Hydraulics and Safety (NTHAS12) (Internet), 7 Pages, 2022/10

In order to evaluate long-term coolablity of the debris-bed with decay heat, a three-dimensional calculation method coupled with the debris bed module was developed in this study. The coupled code calculation results show that natural circulation of the coolant between the hot pool and the cold pool is established through the four intermediate heat exchangers after the activation of the dipped direct heat exchangers. The cold pool with the debris-bed is continually cooled not only by the natural circulation flow, but also by heat transfer to the hot pool through the plenum separation plate between the hot pool and the cold pool. The effect of the three-dimensional flow field around the core catcher on the temperature in the debris-bed is about 20K under the current calculation condition.

Numerical analyses of design extension conditions for sodium-cooled fast reactor designed in Japan

Yamano, Hidemasa; Kubo, Shigenobu; Tokizaki, Minako*; Nakamura, Hironori*

Proceedings of International Conference on Topical Issues in Nuclear Installation Safety; Strengthening Safety of Evolutionary and Innovative Reactor Designs (TIC 2022) (Internet), 12 Pages, 2022/10

Specific design features of advanced sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFRs) designed in Japan are a passive reactor shutdown system, a passive decay heat removal system (DHRS), and an in-vessel retention (IVR) concept against an anticipated transients without scram (ATWS) in design extension condition (DECs). The present paper describes numerical analysis methodologies for event sequences studied in Japan and some numerical analyses of DECs to show the effectiveness of the passive shutdown system against a typical ATWS and severe accident mitigation measures for the IVR of molten core. For the passive shutdown capability, the numerical analysis has demonstrated the effectiveness of a self-actuated shutdown system against a severe ATWS event, for which the temperature response time was separately evaluated by a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code. A recently developed debris-bed cooling analysis methodology coupled with a CFD code and a debris-bed module has successfully simulated a three-dimensional coolant flow field near the debris bed with the passive DHRS capability in order to demonstrate the debris-bed coolability on a core catcher.

This study investigates the spin susceptibility in U-based superconductor UTe$$_2$$ in the superconducting (SC) state by using Knight shift measurements for a magnetic field $$H$$ along the $$a$$ axis, which is the magnetic easy axis of UTe$$_2$$. Although a tiny anomaly ascribed to the SC diamagnetic effect was observed just below the SC transition temperature $$T_{rm c}$$, the $$a$$-axis Knight shift in the SC state shows no significant decrease, following the extrapolation from the normal-state temperature dependence. This indicates that the spin susceptibility is nearly unchanged below $$T_{rm c}$$. Considering the previous Knight shift results for $$Hparallel b$$ and $$Hparallel c$$, the dominant SC state is determined to be $$B_{3u}$$ in the spin-triplet pairing, which is consistent with the spin anisotropy in the normal state. The present result shows that UTe$$_2$$ is a spin-triplet superconductor with spin degrees of freedom.

Slow electronic dynamics in the paramagnetic state of UTe$$_2$$

$$^{125}$$Te NMR experiments in field ($$H$$) applied along the easy magnetization axis (the $$a$$-axis) revealed slow electronic dynamics developing in the paramagnetic state of UTe$$_2$$. The observed slow fluctuations are concerned with a successive growth of long-range electronic correlations below 30$$-$$40 K, where the spin susceptibility along the hard magnetization axis (the $$b$$-axis) shows a broad maximum. The experiments also imply that tiny amounts of disorder or defects locally disturb the long-range electronic correlations and develop an inhomogeneous electronic state at low temperatures, leading to a low temperature upturn observed in the bulk-susceptibility in $$H|a$$. We suggest that UTe$$_2$$ would be located on the paramagnetic side near an electronic phase boundary, where either the magnetic or Fermi-surface instability would be the origin of the characteristic fluctuations.

We report $$^{125}$$Te-NMR studies on a newly discovered heavy fermion superconductor UTe$$_2$$. Using a single crystal, we have measured the $$^{125}$$Te-NMR Knight shift $$K$$ and spin-lattice relaxation rate $$1/T_1$$ for fields along the three orthorhombic crystal axes. The data confirm a moderate Ising anisotropy for both the static ($$K$$) and dynamical susceptibilities ($$1/T_1$$) in the paramagnetic state above about 20 K. Around 20 K, however, we have observed a sudden loss of NMR spin-echo signal due to sudden enhancement of the NMR spin-spin relaxation rate $$1/T_2$$, when the field is applied along the easy axis of magnetization (=$$a$$ axis). This behavior suggests the development of longitudinal magnetic fluctuations along the $$a$$ axis at very low frequencies below 20 K.
