A reduced-moderation LWR has been developed for the reduction of spent fuel and for the efficient utilization of uranium resources. The streaming channel concept to improve the negative void reactivity coefficient is one of the features of the reactor. This concept makes the fuel assembly more heterogeneous. The geometrical heterogeneity makes azimuthal neutron flux distribution of fuel rods steep. To validate azimuthal neutron flux distribution calculation, we measured the distribution around fuel rods in reduced moderation LWR lattices. These measurements were conducted in NCA with the foil activation method. The core consisted of the central triangular tight lattice zone and the outer driver zone of a square lattice. A pile of polystyrene plates for simulating void fraction was installed into the triangular tight lattice. Azimuthal neutron flux distributions were deduced from the activity of these small foils measured with plastic scintillators. Measurements were compared to calculations by the MVP code with JENDL-3.3. It was found that calculations agreed well with measurements.

We have developed a void reactivity evaluation method by using modified conversion ratio measurements in a light water reactor (LWR) critical lattice. Assembly-wise void reactivity is evaluated from the "finite neutron multiplication factor", $$k^ast$$, deduced from the modified conversion ratio of each fuel rod. The distributions of modified conversion ratio and $$k^ast$$ on a reduced-moderation LWR lattice, for which the improvement of negative void reactivity is a serious issue, were measured. Measured values were analyzed with a continuous-energy Monte Carlo method. The measurements and analyses agreed within the measurement uncertainty. The developed method is useful for validating the nuclear design methodology concerning void reactivity.

We have developed an intra-pellet neutron flux and conversion ratio distribution measurement method. A foil activation method with special foils was used for the neutron flux distribution measurement. A $$gamma$$-ray spectrum analysis method with special collimators was used for the conversion ratio distribution measurement. Using the developed methods, intra-pellet neutron flux distributions and conversion ratio distributions were measured in critical experiments on a reduced-moderation LWR. Measured values were analyzed with a deterministic method and a Monte Carlo method. The neutron flux distribution measurements and analyses agreed within the range of 1% to 2%. The conversion ratio distribution measurements and analyses were consistent with each other. We found that the measurement methods are useful for the validation of neutron behavior in a fuel pellet, which is known as micro reactor physics.

Study on chemical reactivity control of sodium by suspended nanoparticles, 1

A study on the chemical reactivity control of sodium utilizing the atomic interaction of sodium with suspended nanoparticles was carried out. The atomic interaction between nanoparticles and sodium atoms were estimated by theoretical calculations and verified by fundamental physical properties measurements. Results showed the atomic bond of the sodium atom and the nanoparticle atom was significantly larger than that of the sodium atoms, when the transition metals that have the property of large electronegativity are applied as nanoparticles. From the theoretical calculation results, it was suggested that charge transfer occurs from the sodium atom to the nanoparticle atom. The fundamental physical properties of sodium with suspended nanoparticles were examined in comparison with that of sodium to verify the change of the atomic interaction. From the experimental results, it became clear that the surface tension becomes larger and the evaporation rate becomes smaller. These changes in fundamental physical properties were measured to verify the stability of the atomic interaction under the conditions of wide temperature range and the phase transformation from solid phase to liquid phase.

Study on chemical reactivity control of sodium by suspended nanoparticles, 2

A study was conducted on the control of the chemical reactivity of sodium utilizing the atomic interaction between sodium and nanoparticles. The authors reported in a previous paper that the atomic interaction between sodium and nanoparticles increases and has the potential to suppress chemical reactivity. In this paper, the authors examined the released reaction heat and the reaction behavior. As a result, it was confirmed that the released reaction heat and the reaction rate decreased. From the results of experimental studies, it is clear that the suppressions of chemical reactivity are caused by a change in the sodium evaporation rate and fundamental physical properties such as surface tension which originate in the change in the atomic interaction between sodium and nanoparticle atoms. The suppression of chemical reactivity applying to FBR coolant was estimated for the case of sodium combustion and sodium-water reaction. It was confirmed that the concept of suspending nanoparticles into sodium has high potential for the suppression of chemical reactivity. Applicability as coolant to the FBR was investigated, including not only the chemical reaction properties but also the aspects of heat transfer and operation.

Liquid sodium is used as the coolant of the fast breeder reactor (FBR), because of its high thermal conductivity and wide temperature range of liquid. However the chemical reactivity with water and oxygen of sodium is very high. So an innovative technology to control the reactivity is desired. The purpose of this study is to reduce the chemical reactivity of liquid sodium by dispersing the nanometer-size metallic particles into liquid sodium. Sub-themes of this study are nanoparticles production, evaluation of reaction control of liquid sodium, and feasibility study to FBR. In this paper, we describe the research program of them.
