Nuclear-energy storage integrated lead-based reactor with autonomous load-following function

Abstract

The nuclear-energy storage integrated lead-based reactor with an autonomous load-following function includes a reactor core, a phase change energy storage device, and a thermal energy utilization device; the reactor core is configured for heating a coolant, and the thermal energy utilization device is configured for absorbing heat in the coolant; the phase change energy storage device is provided at an inlet side of the reactor core, and configured for exchanging heat with the coolant, and a phase change temperature of the phase change energy storage device is consistent with a preset inlet temperature of the reactor core. The nuclear-energy storage integrated lead-based reactor has a natural circulation flow rate that is not easy to oscillate and diverge, the fuel assembly does not have the risk of overheating and melting, and the structural components are not easy to suffer from thermal fatigue, and it has high safety performance.
