Mechanical Reliability Analysis of Control Rod Assembly for HTR-PM
2021
The article analyzes the forces and weaknesses of the control rod assembly in the high temperature gas cooled reactor (HTGR) demonstration project-pebble bed modular HTGR plant (HTR-PM), using the the mechanical reliability theory and mechanical simulation, and identifies the weaknesses at the connection of the control rod assembly. In the reliability-life calculation method based on the probabilistic fracture mechanics, in combination with the influence of irradiation on the fatigue life model and in consideration of the stress, the authors establish the reliability-life model to calculate the reliability-life of HTR-PM control rod assembly at the irradiation attenuation coefficient of 0.7. The calculation results show that at the reliability level of 0.99, the life of HTR-PM control rod assembly is about 150,000 action cycles, and that the irradiation has a great influence on the life of the control rod assembly. In view of what mentioned above, this paper can provide reference for the equipment reliability management of the HTR-PM control rod assembly.
