Tritium measurement system and method for pool reactor

Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention provides a tritium measurement system (100) for a pool reactor, comprising: an attenuation module (10) arranged to be connected with a coolant loop of the pool reactor, from which a coolant flows into the attenuation module (10), the attenuation module (10) attenuating the coolant; a measuring module (11) connected with the attenuation module (10) and used for measuring the tritium activity of the attenuated coolant flowing out of the attenuation module (10); and a circulating module (12) connected with the measuring module (11) and used for discharging the measured coolant into the coolant loop of the pool reactor. According to the tritium measurement system provided by the embodiment of the invention, the tritium measurement precision is improved, the measurement environmental protection property and safety are improved, the long-term measurement operation cost can be reduced, and the personnel investment is reduced.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patented technology measures the concentration levels of radioactive elements (tritons) within certain substances such as water or air by measuring their decaying rates during an experiment with different types of materials called reactants. By comparing measurements taken before and afterwards, it becomes possible to identify specific areas where these processes occur more accurately than previously done without this process being performed on them for longer periods. Additionally, if there are multiple sources of radioactivity that may affect each other's ability to detect, the analysis helps determine how well they work together under various conditions. Overall, this technique provides technical benefits over previous methods like atomic absorption spectrometry but also reduces costs associated with prolonged exposure while ensuring accurate results.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patented technology relates to accurately measuring the amount of tritiated uranyl nitroxide (TN) that occurs naturally when producing tertiary ammonia fertilizers used in agriculture. This excessive amounts may lead to environmental concerns such as groundwater contamination caused by leaking sewage pipes containing untreated chemical products. Additionally, there are potential safety hazards associated with handling large quantities of highly active materials like trinitrotoluene sulfonic acid (TrIS), an organic compound commonly found in many pesticidal agents currently on sale worldwide.
