  1. 反應器物理「漫談」 郭文生 101年3月28日

  2. 什麼是「反應器物理」？ • Nuclear reactor physics is the branch of science that deals with the study and application of chain reaction to induce controlled rate of fission for energy in reactors. • Also called • Core physics • Neutronics

  3. 談什麼？ • 從Transport Theory說起 • 「古典」與「近代」反應器物理 • Lattice Calculation vs. Core Calculation • 反應器物理與數值解法 • 反應器物理與安全分析 • Kinetics • Monte Carlo法 • 應用面

  4. Transport Theory • 最基本、最複雜的理論 • 7-variable (r, E, W, t) nonlinear partial differential equation: • Who is the “Trouble Maker?” 

  5. Transport Theory (cont’d) • How to deal with the ”Trouble Maker?” • Diffusion Theory Approximation • Nodal Method Approximation • How about the energy part (E)? • Span from ~0eV to 20Mev • Multi-group Approximation • Multi-group neutron diffusion equation • Multi-group nodal equation

  6. 古典vs.近代反應器物理 • 古典 • 以Diffusion Theory為主 • 計算機效能不強 • 核燃料及反應器設計較單純 • 近代 • Nodal Theory的時代 • Nodal Transport vs. Nodal Diffusion • Power Reconstruction • 從二群巨觀截面發展至多群微觀截面 • 核燃料及反應器設計愈來愈複雜 • 計算機效能大幅提昇

  7. Cell/Lattice Calculation vs. Core Calculation • Based upon the principle of separation of variables • Break down the whole 7-variable problem domain into: • Cell/Lattice Calculation • Confined to smaller scale of geometry: • pin cell (a unique axial segment of fuel rod) • fuel lattice (a unique axial segment of fuel assembly) • Focus on dealing with energy and angular • Core Calculation • Focus on larger scale of geometry: whole core or a quadrant • More relaxation on energy and angular

  8. 反應器物理與數值解法 • Finite Difference vs. Finite Element • 傳統的Power Series已不夠用 • 數值解的收斂問題 • 複雜的燃料及反應器的設計使Iteration Matrix不易維持Diagonal Dominance • 其他實務上碰到的問題，如Refueling S/D Margin計算

  9. 反應器物理與安全分析 • 為安全分析(Transient)的上游 • 提供安全分析重要的輸入參數 • Power Distribution • Cross Sections • Kinetic Parameters • Must be Weighted by Adjoint Flux • 某些Slow Transient可以用Stead-State Rx Physics Code來分析

  10. Kinetics • 從Point Kinetics進展至Multi-dimensional Kinetics • Point Kinetics不一定最保守 • 一般為System Code (RETRAN, RELAP, etc.)的一部份模組 • 3-D Kinetics一般用於Core-wise Accident Analysis: Rod Ejection, Rod Drop • BWR Stability: Time-Domain vs. Frequency Domain

  11. Monte Carlo法 • Good and Bad • 除實驗外的最具公信力的方法 • 最少近似 • Continuous Energy XS • 複雜的輸入模式，速度慢 • 溫度問題 • 燃耗問題 • Combinatorial Geometry vs. Boolean Geometry • 堆積木 • AND/OR/NOT

  12. 應用面 • LWR Fuel & Core Design • UO2+Gd2O3 Fuel , MOX Fuel • 12-month cycle, 18-month cycle, 24-month cycle, … • Support of Rx Operation • Power Rx: e.g. On-Line Core Monitoring System • Research Rx • SFP or Dry Storage Cask Criticality Analysis • Gen IV Rx Design • More on Fast Rx • ADS • Space Rx/Submarine Rx
