Objectifs
Reactors principles and orders of magnitude. General constraints.
Presentation of the major classes of reactors and the different requirements on materials
Design a “reactor concept” knowing the various ingredients : fuel, coolant and moderator
Contact Alexis NUTTIN
Contenu 1. Main functions of a nuclear reactor
- Principles of operation
- First description of each main function in the order of importance from the nuclear point of view
• fuel, moderator
• coolant
• structures
2. Attempt of classification in terms of coolant, then in terms of moderator - First most constraining choice is the coolant selected by its capacity to evacuate heat
- Constraints in terms of neutronics (absorption, moderation) and thermohydraulics
- 3 major families: water, gas and metal (each family defines a set of common constraints)
- Then the moderator can be chosen, with less constraints but subordinated to the coolant ones. This leads to 5 major types of reactors, identified in as PWR/BWR, PHWR (CANDU), RBMK, UNGG and He/Na/Pb fast reactors
3. Description of specific reactors in terms of constraints for materials - About 12 operating reactors to describe
