Three primary design principles, meanwhile the design features, are carried through the R&D process of Chinese Small Module reactor (ACP100): integral layout, compact design and modularized configuration. As a substantial demonstration of the above design conceptions, an upper plenum built-in pressurizer is proposed for the pressure control systemdesign for Chinese SMR. In this design, branches with large diameters connected to the primary loop (i.e. surge line, etc.) are eliminated, and this will significantly reduce the LOCA possibility due to the pressure boundary breach. This study mainly focuses on the feature of responses of the built-in pressure control system during the system transients, such as step load increase/decrease, ramp load increase/decrease and partial loss of electrical load. Initial status of the plant, assumptions, postulated transient condition and methodology of this analysis are described in the first section. Important thermal hydraulic parameters that can picture the transient characteristics of the coolant system are given in the second section. It shows that, during those transients, no reactor safety related signals or safety guard features are triggered or actived. It also shows that Nuclear/thermal power response rapidly and stably, and average coolant temperature and system pressure are welled controlled within the range of normal deviation of the set point values of safety related system. This study results get a good agreement with the operating experiment study of the build-in pressure control system.

The fully ceramic microencapsulated (FCM) fuel is based on tristructural isotropic (TRISO) coated particles embedded in silicon carbide (SiC) matrix, which is among the accident tolerant fuel concept options. With the strength of high fission product retention, the FCM fuel provides potential superior safety performance. Compared to the conventional standard UO2 fuel, the deficiency of FCM fuel is its considerable lower fissile inventory, which results in a reduced reactor power or/and life. Supposing the FCM fuel is used as direct replacement of the fuel in commercial PWRs, the spectrum is softened due to the usage of SiC as matrix, and the moderator temperature coefficient is possible to be positive at the beginning of life, leading to high risk during operation. A neutronic feasibility study of FCM fuel utilized in commercial PWRs is performed in the paper. The fuel enrichment and undermoderated lattice are evaluated by analyzing the typical TRISO particle with UO2 kernels which is widely used in high temperature gas reactors and that with enlarged UN fuel kernels. It was found that under the mandatory constraint of low enriched uranium, the FCM fuel with UO2 kernels, although relatively mature, is only capable of small reactordesigns, and the assembly lattice needs to be modified. The FCM fuel with UN kernels, when directly loading in the commercial PWRs, can yield comparable reactor power and life;however, a higher fuel enrichment and the fuel design and fabrication need to be optimized.
