Problems solved by technology

The power distribution measurement method based on self-powered neutron detectors currently used in commercial PWRs does not consider the influence of instantaneous gamma effects
This simplified processing method makes the predicted current of some neutron detectors deviate greatly from the measured current in some cases, which in turn leads to a large deviation in the core power distribution measurement

[0048] The method proposed by the present invention has been verified by using the data obtained from the operation of the pressurized water reactor unit A and unit B respectively. Firstly, the stable power operation state of the reactor is monitored by the response of the self-powered neutron detector in the reactor during the rapid drop of the control rods. Current, record the response current of all self-powered neutron detectors in the reactor as a function of time, and the recording time interval is 1s; then determine the instantaneous gamma of each self-powered neutron detector according to the detector response current recorded before and after the rapid shutdown Response share (γ=(I t -I n ) / I t ); and then use the determined instantaneous gamma response share to correct the measurement current of the self-powered neutron detector in the measurement process, and improve the measurement accuracy of the core power distribution.

Abstract

A measurement method of improved core power distribution based on instantaneous Gamma response correction includes the following steps: monitoring the response signals of self-energetic neutron detectors in the reactor during the reactor shutdown process when the reactor is quickly inserted into the reactor core by the control rod from a stable power operation state, and recording the changes of the response signals of all self-energetic neutron detectors in the reactor core with time; according to the detector response current recorded before and after the rapid shutdown, determining the instantaneous gamma response share of the self-energetic detector; through the core on-line monitoring system, using the instantaneous gamma response share to correct the measurement current of the self-energetic neutron detector in the measurement process or the predicted current of the self-energetic neutron detector in the prediction process to reconstruct the core power distribution; effectively improving the measurement current-predicting current deviation of the self-energetic neutron detector in reactor, improving the measurement accuracy of core power distribution in the core on-line monitoring system, and improving the monitoring accuracy of safety parameters such as maximum linear power density, nuclear enthalpy rise heat pipe factor and minimum deviation bubble-nucleus boiling ratio.
