摘　　要：铅冷快堆可用于对乏燃料中部分次锕系(MA)核素进行后处理,为研究MA核素的添加是否会影响反应堆安全性能,本文设计了3种MA核素添加方式,分析研究了MA核素在铅冷快堆中嬗变对堆芯临界性能、堆芯寿期和燃料温度系数的影响。结果表明,MA核素的添加会对堆芯临界性能产生影响,使堆芯初始临界性能下降;镀层和混合燃料添加方式对铅冷快堆的寿期有明显的延长,嬗变棒添加方式根据添加位置不同对堆芯寿期的影响不同;MA核素的添加会引起燃料温度系数的改变,但燃料温度系数始终为负。本文提出的3种添加方式均可行,但是嬗变棒添加方式需要注意嬗变棒位置对堆芯寿期的影响,不建议采用较为集中的嬗变棒分布方式。The lead-cooled fast reactor can be used for the post-processing of part of the minor actinides(MA)nuclides contained in the spent fuel.This study designs three modes of adding MA nuclides to analyze and study the effect of the MA nuclides transmutation on the core critical performance,core life cycle and fuel temperature coefficient thus to study the effect of the MA nuclides addition on the reactor safety performance.The results show that the addition of MA nuclides reduces the initial critical performance of the core;that the addition by either coating or mixing with fuel can significantly extend the life cycle of the lead-cooled fast reactor,while the addition of transmutation rod has different effect on the core life cycle depending on the rod location;and that the addition of MA nuclides causes the change of fuel temperature coefficient,which,however,remains negative.All of the three addition modes are feasible.In particular,attention should be paid to the effect of the transmutation rod location on the core life cycle.It is not advisable to distribute the transmutation rods in a concentrated area.
