Abstract

The invention discloses a primary neutron source part for starting a nuclear reactor. The primary neutron source part comprises a cladding tube, a neutron source, cushion blocks, an upper end plug and a lower end plug, wherein the neutron source is arranged in the cladding tube; two ends of the cladding tube are respectively sealed by the upper end plug and the lower end plug; the neutron source is a Cf-252 neutron source of which neutron emission rate is 1.0*10<8> to 1.0*10<10> n / s; and a compression cushion block and a supporting cushion block are arranged on two sides of the neutron source. The primary neutron source part for starting the nuclear reactor provided by the invention is simple in structure, safe, reliable and easy to process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of radioisotope preparation, in particular to a primary neutron source component for starting a nuclear reactor. Background technique [0002] The reactor start-up of a nuclear power plant must use an isotopic neutron source for primary start-up. Before the initial operation of the reactor, or after a long-term shutdown, there are very few neutrons in the core. If it is started at this time, the nuclear instrument outside the core cannot detect the neutron fluence rate level in the reactor. In order to start the reactor safely, it is necessary to strictly control The growth rate of the effective value-added factor must keep track of the subcriticality of the reactor to prevent the reactor from reaching an uncontrolled instantaneous critical state. For this reason, neutron source components are installed in the core, and these neutron sources can provide enough neutrons, so that the source range nuclear inst...
