Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for measuring the burnup of a fuel element, in particular to a process for removing a zirconium matrix and a method for measuring the burnup using the process. Background technique
[0002] Burnup is an indicator of the degree of consumption of fissile nuclides after the chain fission reaction of nuclear fuel elements in the reactor, and an indicative parameter of the degree of nuclear fuel irradiation and the size of energy release. As one of the most important performance indicators of nuclear fuel elements, the accuracy of burnup measurement is of great significance to the development of new nuclear fuel elements and the determination of refueling intervals.
[0003] The burnup measurement of nuclear fuel elements usually includes the monitor volume method and the heavy isotope measurement method. The related isotope abundance or activity is measured by isotope mass spectrometry or energy spectroscopy, and the burnu...
