摘　　要：小型反应堆通常具有模块化、建造周期短以及部署灵活的特点,可作为清洁的分布式能源,在供电的同时还能够实现海水淡化、区域供暖、工业供热等多种用途。环形燃料具有内外双层包壳,其双面冷却的结构形式可以显著改善燃料传热条件,有助于减小堆芯体积、提升反应堆的安全性和经济性。环形燃料应用于小堆可以充分发挥其优势,符合我国核能发展战略。本文通过一系列的比对分析确定了适用于小堆的环形燃料组件设计方案,并根据力学性能分析结果初步实现了组件结构设计;通过对两种不同类型的小型反应堆堆芯的物理、热工、安全等分析,论证了环形燃料应用于小堆的可行性。研究结果表明,环形燃料在小型反应堆中具有良好的应用前景。Small reactors have the characteristics of modular,short construction period and flexible deployment,which can serve as a clean distributed energy source not only for supplying power but also for meeting various needs such as seawater desalination,heating supply for both residence and industry.The double cladding of an annular fuel rod can significantly improve its heat transfer capacity.This characteristic is helpful for designing reactors with smaller core volume,higher core safety and better economy.It is believed that the application of annular fuel in small reactors can fully show its advantages,and meet the requirements of China’s nuclear energy development strategy.Based on low-temperature nuclear heating reactors,a scheme design of annular fuel assemblies for small reactors has been carried out,which mainly considered the influence of factors such as the height to diameter ratio of the core and the array of fuel rods.Physical analysis of different fuel assemblies design schemes were conducted by using the CMS code,and annular fuel assembly with a 11×11 array of fuel rods was ultimately designed.The annular fuel assembly used for small reactors mainly consists of bottom nozzle,top nozzle,fuel rods,guide tubes,and spacer grids,the primary structure design of annular fuel assembly was conducted based on results of the mechanical analysis.The feasibility of annular fuel assemblies applied to different types of small reactors was demonstrated by reactor physics analysis,thermal-hydraulic analysis and safety analysis.The radial power distribution factor,enthalpy rise factor,hot channel factor,moderator temperature coefficient,Doppler temperature coefficient and other parameters were analyzed by using the SIMULATE5 code,which meet the design requirements.The thermal-hydraulic performance,including distribution of velocity field,pressure field,and temperature field of annular fuel assemblies for low-temperature heating reactors was evaluated by using the CFX program,including distribution of velocity field,pre
