Impact of Powerful Thermal and Neutron Fluxes on the Structural Elements of Fusion and Fission Reactors

详细

Methods for calculating the heat and neutron transport in structural elements of nuclear and fusion power devices are considered in the framework of statistical modeling and physical neutron kinetics based on the cross sections of interaction of neutrons with matter. Statistical modeling makes it possible to establish the nature of the neutron transport and energy in matter. In the extreme cases, within the framework of this approach, the diffusion and ballistic regimes are realized. In the calculation of heat transfer, the heat release associated with gamma quanta is also taken into account. The possibilities of these methods for estimation of the joint thermal effects of these factors are shown.
