Embodiment 1

[0051] figure 1 The flow chart of the detection method for the cladding integrity of nuclear power plant fuel elements in the present invention is shown, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0052]S1. Connect the fuel element cladding of the nuclear power plant to the primary cooling system; if the fuel element cladding is damaged, the radioactive fission and decay products contained in the fuel element will enter the coolant of the primary cooling system;

[0053] S2. Detect the primary loop coolant in the primary loop cooling system through detectors to determine the activity concentration of the radioactive fission gas in the primary loop coolant; the inert gas is produced in the nuclear fission process of the nuclear fuel inside the reactor, and the fission In the process, nuclear energy, fission products and decay products are released, wherein the fission products and decay products contain inert gas, therefore, the radioactive fission gas in the above step...

Abstract

The invention discloses a detecting method and system for integrity of a nuclear power station fuel element cladding. The detecting system comprises a detecting assembly, a comparing assembly and an alarm assembly, wherein the detecting assembly is used for detecting and outputting activity concentration of inert gas contained in loop coolant; the comparing assembly is used for receiving the output activity concentration obtained through detection, comparing the detected activity concentration with a preset alarm threshold value condition and generating and sending an alarm signal if the alarm threshold value condition is met; the alarm assembly is used for receiving the sent alarm signal and giving an alarm according to the preset alarm mode. The breakage rate of the fuel element cladding can be detected by monitoring the activity concentration of the inert gas contained in the loop coolant, the detecting system is higher in feasibility and sensitivity, and mistake measurement possibly caused by non-fuel element failure can be avoided; one or more alarm threshold values can be set, and the breakage rate limit value of the fuel element cladding concerned during safe operation of a nuclear power plant can be monitored quantitatively.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of instrumentation and control of nuclear power plants, in particular to a method and system for detecting the integrity of nuclear power plant fuel element cladding. Background technique [0002] Nuclear power plants have three protective barriers, of which the first barrier is the fuel element cladding. Therefore, online monitoring of the integrity of fuel element cladding in nuclear power plants in operation is required to ensure the safe operation of nuclear power plants. [0003] When the fuel element is not damaged, the radioactivity in the primary coolant mainly comes from activation products and corrosion products, and the gamma dose rate level produced by it is relatively low; if the fuel element cladding is damaged, the fission products contained in the fuel element ( Mainly inert gas) will also enter the primary coolant, at this time the gamma dose rate of the primary coolant will increase. [0004] In the...
