摘要
We have performed transient analysis of a nitride fueled and heavy liquid metal cooled accelerator driven system, in which the pitch-to-diameter ratio of pin lattice was set at 1.26. Unprotected loss-of-flow, unprotected transient-over-power and protected loss-of-heat-sink transients were simulated in a geometrical model of the suggested ADS design, using safety parameters obtained with the MCNP/MCNPX code. The simulations indicated that the suggested ADS design could survive the full set of transients, thanks to the introduction of the austenitic 15/15Ti stainless steel as fuel cladding material. Thus, the viability of an ADS design with small pin pitch and concomitant high proton source efficiency could be confirmed. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
