摘要
In order to accurately predict the hold-down force during the design lifetime of the leaf spring hold-down system of nuclear fuel component, considering the plastic model and creep model of the leaf spring material under fast neutron irradiation, numerical simulation method for the hold-down force of the leaf spring hold-down system in the reactor environment was established based on the fine structure model. By comparing the calculation results with the calculation results of the fuel assembly leaf spring hold-down system analysis software HOFA, the rationality of the numerical simulation method is verified (the maximum error of hold-down force is 8.83%). The influence comparison results show that the maximum hold-down force is reduced by 4.34% when radiation creep is considered; When the cycle length increases, the hold-down force at the end of each cycle increases slightly.
