Thermal Hydraulic Analysis

The current Light Water Reactors both BWR and PWR have extensive nuclear reactor safety systems, which provide safe and economical operation of Nuclear Power Plants. During about forty years of operation history the safety systems of Nuclear Power Plants have been upgraded in an evolutionary manner. The cost of safety systems, including large containments, is really high due to a capital cost and a long construction period. These conditions together with a low efficiency of steam cycle for LWR create problems to build new power plants in the USA and in the Europe. An advanced Boiling Water Reactor concept with micro-fuel elements (MFE) and superheated steam promises a radical enhancement of safety and improvement of economy of Nuclear Power Plants. In this paper, a new type of nuclear reactor is presented that consists of a steel-walled tube filled with millions of TRISO-coated fuel particles (Micro-Fuel Elements, MFE) directly cooled by a light-water coolant-moderator. Water is used as coolant that flows from bottom to top through the tube, thereby fluidizing the particle bed, and the moderator water flows in the reverse direction out of the tube. The fuel consists of spheres of about 2.5 mm diameter of UO2 with several coatings of different carbonaceous materials. The external coating of steam cycle the particles is silicon carbide (SiC), manufactured with chemical vapor deposit (CVD) technology. Steady-State Thermal-Hydraulic Analysis aims at providing heat transport capability which can match with the heat generated by the core, so as to provide a set of thermal hydraulic parameters of the primary loop. So the temperature distribution and the pressure losses along the direction of flow are calculated for equilibrium core in this paper. The calculation not only includes the liquid region, but the two phase region and the superheated steam region. The temperature distribution includes both the temperature parameters of micro-fuel elements and the coolant. The results show that the maximum fuel temperature is much lower than the limitation and the flow distribution can meet the cooling requirement in the reactor core.

The main sources of highly concentrated multicomponent technological solutions at thermal power plants (TPPs) are water treatment plants. Analysis of operation of the ion-exchange water treatment plant at the Nizhnekamsk Thermal Power Plant-1 showed that half of alkali supplied to regeneration of the anion-exchange alkali filters is not used, but is discharged for neutralization and then to wastewater. Due to the fact that the cost of alkali used in technological processes is quite high, it is economically feasible to process the alkaline waste with the alkali extraction and its reuse in the production cycle. The article presents the experimental results on the electro-membrane separation of alkaline waste regeneration solutions and wash water after anion-exchange filter regeneration. The revealed differences in the selectivity of various ion transfer through the electrodialysis apparatus membranes, depending on time and amount of transmitted electricity, allowed us to establish the possibility of obtaining an alkaline solution purified from impurities.

Common Cycles

The article first summarizes case studies on the three basic types of treated water used in power plants and heating stations. Its main focus is Czechia as the representative of Eastern European countries. Water as the working medium in the power industry presents the three most common cycles—the first is make-up water for boilers, the second is cooling water and the third is represented by a specific type of water (e.g., liquid waste mixtures, primary and secondary circuits in nuclear power plants, turbine condensate, etc.). The water treatment technologies can be summarized into four main groups—(1) filtration (coagulation) and dosing chemicals, (2) ion exchange technology, (3) membrane processes and (4) a combination of the last two. The article shows the ideal industry-proven technology for each water cycle. Case studies revealed the economic, technical and environmental advantages/disadvantages of each technology. The percentage of technologies operated in energetics in Eastern Europe is briefly described. Although the work is conceived as an overview of water treatment in real operation, its novelty lies in a technological model of the treatment of turbine condensate, recycling of the cooling tower blowdown plus other liquid waste mixtures, and the rejection of colloidal substances from the secondary circuit in nuclear power plants. This is followed by an evaluation of the potential novel technologies and novel materials.
