What is Control Strategy Study for a Heat Pipe Cooled Nuclear Reactor about?

The heat pipe cooled nuclear reactor (HPR) features simple structure, high safety, low noise, compact structure and long working time. HPR is therefore a better candidate energy source for deep space and underwater applications. Due to the unique features, the dynamics of HPR are different from conventional nuclear reactors. It is necessary to investigate the control strategy. In this study, an HPR system code HEART is coupled with 3KeyMaster to build the HPR simulation platform using the shared memory technology. Steady state and transient characteristics of HPR are obtained in the platform and analyzed. The control strategy with reactor power, heat pipe temperature and electric power controlled is proposed. The control systems are built and tuned on the simulation platform. Typical transient tests are performed to evaluate the performance of the control systems. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed control strategy can meet control requirements on the power maneuvering and reactor startup.
