Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of core fuel damage monitoring, and in particular to a method and system for calculating uranium-contaminated fission products of a core fuel assembly in a nuclear power plant. Background Art
[0002] By analyzing the activity concentration of fission product nuclides in the primary coolant of the reactor core of a nuclear power plant, the damage of the core nuclear fuel assembly can be effectively determined. However, the fission products generated by uranium contaminated on the outer surface of the core fuel assembly cladding under neutron irradiation will enter the coolant and interfere with the determination of the source of the fission products. Therefore, the fission product nuclides in the coolant caused by uranium contamination of the core fuel assembly cladding become an important interference factor in determining whether the fuel assembly cladding is damaged.
[0003] Typically, methods such as gas-flow multi-wire proportional counters and surface contamination testers are used to measure the total alpha activity concentration on the fuel surface. Alternatively, alpha particle detectors (such as silicon detectors) combined with energy spectrum analysis can be used to identify characteristic alpha peaks of uranium isotopes (such as U-234, U-235, and U-238) and calculate the activity concentration of characteristic nuclides. This is then used to estimate the amount of uranium contamination in the core fuel assemblies. However, this method is complex and only suitable for localized contamination screening during outages. If the core fuel assemblies are inspected online, the characteristic nuclides released by the damaged core fuel assemblies overlap with those of the uranium contamination fission products outside the fuel assemblies, making it difficult to distinguish their sources. Furthermore, the transient signals of short-lived nuclides (such as Rb-90) are easily overlooked by conventional detection methods, resulting in missed detections. This makes it difficult to calculate the amount of uranium contamination remaining on the surface of the core fuel assemblies and the concentration of fission nuclides in the primary coolant caused by uranium contamination difficult to calculate.

That is, these functional entities may be implemented in software, in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different networks and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.
[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, some embodiments of the present invention disclose a method for calculating uranium-contaminated fission products in a nuclear power plant core fuel assembly, the method comprising the following steps:
[0050] By real-time monitoring of the characteristic nuclides of the primary coolant of the core fuel assembly, it is possible to determine whether there is uranium contamination on the surface of the core fuel assembly;
[0051] If uranium contamination exists, calculate the amount of uranium contamination distributed on the surface of the core fuel assembly in the primary coolant;
[0052] The distribution of uranium contamination fission products in the core fuel assembly is calculated based on the uranium contamination amount.
[0053] In some embodiments, determining whether there is uranium contamination on the surface of the core fuel assembly by real-time monitoring of characteristic nuclides in the primary coolant of the core fuel assembly includes:
[0054] Real-time monitoring of multiple nuclides in the primary coolant circuit is carried out to establish a dynamic database of characteristic nuclides corresponding to the characteristic nuclides in the multiple nuclides;
[0055] Extract nuclide information from the dynamic database of characteristic nuclides to determine whether there is uranium contamination on the surface of the core fuel assembly.
[0056] The core fuel online monitoring gamma spectroscopy system monitors multiple nuclides in the primary coolant in real time, establishing a dynamic database of characteristic nuclides corresponding to the characteristic nuclides in the multi-nuclides. The dynamic database includes information on preset characteristic nuclides and other nuclides that are not characteristic nuclides. Characteristic nuclides include, for example, Xe-133, Xe-135, I-131, and Kr-85m. The characteristic nuclides Xe-133, Xe-135, I-131, and Kr-85m are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the present application. Other nuclides may also be included.
[0057] The nuclide information is extracted from the dynamic database of characteristic nuclides, and then the presence of uranium contamination on the surface of the core fuel assembly is determined based on the multimodal uranium contamination analysis method of typical fission products.
[0058] In some embodiments, extracting nuclide information from a dynamic database of characteristic nuclides includes:
[0059] The nuclide information including at least the specific activity ratio of the preset characteristic nuclide, the measured yield of the preset characteristic nuclide and the short-lived nuclide is extracted from the characteristic nuclide dynamic database.
[0060] Specific activity refers to the activity of a radioactive substance per unit mass or volume, or the number of decays that occur per unit time. The specific activity ratio is the ratio of the specific activities of two different radioactive substances, for example, the ratio of the specific activity of Xe-133 to the specific activity of Xe-135.
[0061] Yield refers to the amount of a specific fission product nuclide produced during the fission process. When a nuclide fissions, it produces a variety of fission products. For example, the fission of U-235 (uranium-235) may produce Kr-92 (krypton-92) and Ba-141 (barium-141). If 200 Kr-92 nuclei are produced in 1,000 U-235 fission events, the Kr-92 yield can be expressed as 200. Measured yield refers to the actual measured yield of fission products.
[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, determining whether there is uranium contamination on the surface of the core fuel assembly includes:
[0063] According to a preset adaptive ratio model, determining whether the specific activity ratio of the preset characteristic nuclide is less than a preset value;
[0064] If so, determine whether the deviations between the measured yield ratio and the theoretical yield ratio of the preset characteristic nuclides are both no greater than the preset values;
[0065] If so, determine whether there are short-lived nuclides;
[0066] If so, there is uranium contamination on the surface of the core fuel assembly.
[0067] The typical fission product multimodal uranium contamination analysis method integrates: the typical nuclide ratio dynamic analysis method, which is to determine whether the deviation between the measured yield ratio and the theoretical yield ratio of the preset characteristic nuclides is no more than the preset value; the fission yield matching verification method, which is to determine whether the deviation between the measured yield ratio and the theoretical yield ratio of the preset characteristic nuclides is no more than the preset value; and the short-lived nuclide existence analysis method, which is to determine whether short-lived nuclides exist.
[0068] The typical nuclide ratio dynamic analysis method uses a method that uses historical data and a nuclide database to establish an adaptive ratio model based on factors such as the fuel cycle and fuel burnup depth, as the specific activity ratio threshold of two preset characteristic nuclides varies across different fuel cycles and burnups. This model is used to adaptively determine the specific activity ratio threshold. If uranium contamination and fission dominate on the fuel assembly surface, and the specific activity ratio of the preset characteristic nuclides is less than the preset value, uranium contamination is likely present on the core fuel assembly surface, requiring further analysis using the fission yield matching verification method.
[0069] The fission yield matching verification method establishes a theoretical fission yield value by referencing a nuclide database, such as the Evaluation Nuclear Data File (ENDF / B). If the measured yield percentages of pre-set characteristic nuclides deviate from the theoretical yield percentages by no more than 5%, for example, a theoretical yield of 2.558% for Kr-87, 6.539% for Xe-135, and 6.188% for Cs-137, and the deviations from the theoretical yield percentages for these three characteristic nuclides are all within 5%, then there is a high probability of uranium contamination on the fuel assembly surface, necessitating further analysis using the short-lived nuclide presence analysis method. The measured yield percentage refers to the ratio of the measured yield of a particular fission product to the total measured yield of all fission products. The theoretical yield percentage refers to the ratio of the theoretical yield of a particular fission product to the total theoretical yield of all fission products under ideal conditions.
[0070] The presence of short-lived nuclides is analyzed. The presence of short-lived nuclides indicates that uranium decay is ongoing. Short-lived nuclides have short half-lives and typically decay completely within a few days to hours. Therefore, the detection of these short-lived nuclides indicates that the uranium decay activity is recent, rather than residual from a long time ago. The detection of short-lived nuclides such as Rb-90 and Rb-91 indicates uranium contamination on the fuel assembly surface. Rb-90 and Rb-91 are used for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit this application; other short-lived nuclides may also be present.
[0071] In some embodiments, the formula for calculating the amount of uranium contamination distributed on the surface of the core fuel assembly in the primary coolant is:
[0072]
[0073] Where w is the mass of uranium contamination per unit mass of primary coolant, m is the mass of uranium in a single fuel rod in the core fuel assembly, M is the total mass of coolant in the core area, and R / B is the ratio of uranium nuclides released to generated.
[0074] The amount of uranium contamination in the primary coolant can be quantitatively calculated. The amount of uranium contamination is closely related to the uranium contamination mass per unit mass of the primary coolant, the uranium mass of a single fuel rod in the core fuel assembly, the total coolant mass in the core area, and the uranium nuclide release and generation ratio.
[0075] In some embodiments, the formula for calculating the uranium nuclide release and production ratio is:
[0076]
[0077] Where R / B is the ratio of uranium nuclide release to production, A is the specific activity of uranium nuclides, V is the volume of the primary coolant, G is the thermal power of the nuclear reactor, n is the number of fuel rods in the core fuel assembly, and Ef is the fission yield of uranium nuclides.
[0078] In some embodiments, the calculation formula for the concentration of uranium contamination fissile nuclides in the core fuel assembly is:
[0079]
[0080] Where φ is the neutron flux, σ is the fission cross section of uranium, w is the uranium contamination mass per unit mass of the primary coolant, N is the uranium atomic density, Y is the fission nuclide yield, η is the fission nuclide release efficiency, v is the primary coolant flow rate, S 管 is the cross-sectional area of the primary circuit pipeline, U is the molar mass of the fission nuclide, S 铀 is the uranium contamination area, λ is the decay time of the fission nuclide, and t is the neutron irradiation time.
[0081] The calculation formula for the concentration of fission nuclides in uranium contamination of the core fuel assembly is used to quantitatively calculate the distribution and concentration changes of fission products in the primary coolant after uranium contamination of the core fuel assembly surface.
[0082] For example, this embodiment provides a method for calculating uranium-contaminated fission products in a nuclear power plant core fuel assembly. This method is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit this application. Other methods are also possible. The specific steps are as follows:
[0083] The fissile nuclides in the primary coolant of a domestic nuclear power plant were monitored in real time using the core fuel online monitoring gamma spectroscopy system. A dynamic database of characteristic nuclides in the primary coolant (such as Xe-133, Xe-135, I-131, and Kr-85m) was established, as shown in Table 1.
[0084] Table 1 Activity concentrations of major fission nuclides in the primary coolant of a nuclear power plant
[0085] Serial number Nuclide type Activity concentration 1 Xe-133 <![CDATA[1.5×10 9 Bq / m 3 ]]> 2 Xe-135 <![CDATA[2.1×10 9 Bq / m 3 ]]> 3 I-131 <![CDATA[1.9×10 9 Bq / m 3 ]]> 4 Kr-85m <![CDATA[1.3×10 9 Bq / m 3 ]]> 5 Rb-90 <![CDATA[1.2×10 9 Bq / m 3 ]]> 6 Rb-91 <![CDATA[6.0×10 8 Bq / m 3 ]]>
[0086] Then, using a typical fission product multimodal uranium contamination analysis method, calculations revealed a Xe-133 / Xe-135 specific activity ratio of 0.71, less than 1. Furthermore, the activity concentrations of Kr-87, Xe-135, and Cs-137 accounted for 2.65%, 6.15%, and 6.58%, respectively. These values all deviated significantly less than 5% from their theoretical yields. Furthermore, the short-lived nuclides Rb-90 and Rb-91 were detected, indicating uranium contamination on the fuel assembly surface.
[0087] Based on the fission and release laws of fissile nuclides, the dynamic uranium contamination amount calculation method in the primary coolant is adopted. and formula The calculation shows that the uranium contamination per unit mass of water in the first circuit coolant is 10 μg / cm 2 Finally, the formula The concentration of Xe-133 nuclides in the primary coolant of the reactor core fuel assembly surface contaminated with uranium is calculated to be 1.8×10 8 Bq / m 3 . The concentration calculations of other fission products are not listed here.
