The following description of the embodiments is merely to provide a better understanding of this application by illustrating examples of this application.

[0109] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.

For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0111] Extensive research by the inventors revealed that the pH value of the waste pool actually affects the conversion ratio of aerosol iodine to elemental iodine, which means that the accuracy of the fuel operation accident source items identified in related technologies needs to be improved.

[0112] Example 1

[0113] The method for determining the source term results of a fuel operation accident in a nuclear power plant provided in this application embodiment can be executed by a fuel operation accident source term result determination device and electronic equipment in the nuclear power plant. The following description takes the execution of the fuel operation accident source term result determination method in the nuclear power plant by electronic equipment as an example.

[0114] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for determining the source term of a fuel operation accident in a nuclear power plant provided in this application embodiment may include steps S110 to S150.

[0115] S110. Obtain the target decontamination factor corresponding to the target nuclide in the first time period, and the total concentration of aerosol iodine retained in the spent pool of the nuclear power plant in the second time period; the target nuclide includes at least one of the following: radioactive isotopes of inert gases, elemental iodine, and organic iodine; the first time period includes the period from the time of the fuel operation accident at the nuclear power plant to the Nth hour after the accident; the second time period includes the period from the Nth hour to the Mth hour after the fuel operation accident, where M is greater than N.

[0117] S130. Based on the total concentration of aerosol iodine, determine the proportion of iodine that is re-volatile in elemental form in the waste tank during the second time period.

[0119] S150. Based on the first and second release amounts, generate the fuel operation accident source term results for the nuclear power plant.

[0120] According to the method and apparatus for determining the source term of a nuclear power plant fuel operation accident, and the method and system for alarming a nuclear power plant fuel operation accident provided in the embodiments of this application, the target decontamination factor corresponding to the target nuclide in the first time period and the total concentration of aerosol iodine retained in the spent pool of the nuclear power plant in the second time period are first obtained; the target nuclide includes at least one of radioactive isotopes of inert gases, elemental iodine, and organic iodine; the first time period includes the time from the occurrence of a fuel operation accident in the nuclear power plant to the Nth hour after the occurrence; the second time period includes the Nth hour to the Mth hour after the occurrence of the fuel operation accident, where M is greater than N; secondly, based on the target decontamination factor, the first release amount corresponding to the target nuclide in the first time period is determined; then, based on the total concentration of aerosol iodine, the fraction of iodine that is re-volatile in the spent pool in elemental form in the second time period is determined; then, based on the iodine fraction, the second release amount of elemental iodine in the second time period is determined; and finally, based on the first release amount and the second release amount, the source term of the nuclear power plant fuel operation accident is generated. In other words, in this embodiment of the application, by comprehensively considering the impact of the target decontamination factor, aerosol iodine concentration, and the proportion of iodine re-volatilized in elemental form in the second-period spent pool on the fuel operation accident source terms of the nuclear power plant, the accuracy of the determination of the fuel operation accident source terms of the nuclear power plant can be improved.

[0121] The specific implementation methods for each of the above steps are described below.

[0122] In step S110, for example, N can be 2 and M can be 720. That is, the first time period includes the time from the occurrence of the fuel operation accident at the nuclear power plant to the second hour after the accident; the second time period includes the second hour to the 720th hour after the occurrence of the fuel operation accident at the nuclear power plant, that is, the second time period includes the time from the second hour to 30 days after the occurrence of the fuel operation accident at the nuclear power plant. It should be noted that the values ​​of N and M can be set according to the actual situation and are not limited here.

[0123] For example, the radioactive isotopes of the inert gas may include at least one of krypton-83m (Ke-83m), krypton-85 (Ke-85), krypton-85m (Ke-85m), krypton-87 (Ke-87), krypton-88 (Ke-88), xenon-131m (Xe-131m), xenon-133 (Xe-133), xenon-133m (Xe-133m), xenon-135 (Xe-135), and xenon-135m (Xe-135m).

[0124] For example, elemental iodine may include at least one of iodine-131 (elemental iodine), iodine-132 (elemental iodine), iodine-133 (elemental iodine), iodine-134 (elemental iodine), and iodine-135 (elemental iodine).

[0125] For example, organic iodine may include at least one of iodine-131 (organic iodine), iodine-132 (organic iodine), iodine-133 (organic iodine), iodine-134 (organic iodine), and iodine-135 (organic iodine).

[0126] For example, a spent fuel pool is also known as a spent fuel pool.

[0127] Therefore, in some implementations, the target nuclide includes elemental iodine.

[0128] Obtain the target decontamination factor corresponding to the target nuclide in the first time period, specifically including:

[0129] Obtain the rise time and diameter of the radioactive bubble;

[0130] Based on the bubble rise time and bubble diameter, the target decontamination factor corresponding to elemental iodine in the first time period is determined.

[0131] Extensive research by the inventors revealed that parameters such as the depth of the water layer above damaged fuel assemblies and the internal pressure of the fuel rods in nuclear power plants affect the target decontamination factor of elemental iodine. Assuming the water layer thickness above the damaged fuel assembly is between 5.79m and 7.01m, the target decontamination factor of elemental iodine is related to the internal pressure of the fuel rods. Based on this, in some examples, the rise time and diameter of radioactive bubbles are obtained, specifically including:

[0132] Obtain the internal pressure of the fuel rods;

[0133] The rise time of the entrained radioactive bubbles is determined based on the internal pressure of the fuel rod and formula (1).

[0134] Formula (1) includes:

[0135]

[0136] Where t is the bubble rise time; x is the internal pressure of the fuel rod;

[0137] The diameter of the radioactive bubble is determined based on the internal pressure of the fuel rod and formula (2);

[0138] Formula (2) includes:

[0139] d = -0.0002x + 1.0009 (2)

[0140] Where d is the diameter of the bubble.

[0141] For example, the unit of bubble rise time is seconds (s).

[0142] For example, the unit of bubble diameter is centimeters (cm).

[0143] For example, the unit of internal pressure of the fuel rod is pounds per square inch (psi).

[0144] In some examples, the target detergency factor corresponding to elemental iodine in the first time period is determined based on the bubble rise time and bubble diameter, specifically including:

[0145] Substituting the bubble rise time and bubble diameter into formula (3), the target decontamination factor corresponding to elemental iodine in the first time period is calculated.

[0146] Formula (3) includes:

[0147] DF I =81.046e 0.305(t / d) (3)

[0148] Where t is the bubble rise time; d is the bubble diameter; DF I The target decontamination factor corresponding to elemental iodine in the first time period.

[0149] It is understandable that by comprehensively considering the water depth above the damaged fuel assembly and the internal pressure of the fuel rod, the rise time and diameter of the bubbles can be determined, and then the target decontamination factor of elemental iodine can be determined based on the rise time and diameter of the bubbles. This can improve the accuracy of the target decontamination factor of elemental iodine, and further improve the accuracy of determining the source terms of fuel operation accidents in nuclear power plants.

[0150] In some embodiments, when the target nuclide includes a radioactive isotope of an inert gas and organic iodine, the target decontamination factor corresponding to the radioactive isotope of the inert gas and organic iodine is 1.

[0151] Of course, in other embodiments, the target decontamination factors corresponding to the radioactive isotopes of the inert gas and the organic iodine can also be other values.

[0152] In the second period, from 2 hours to 30 days after the fuel operation accident, the pH value of the wastewater affects the proportion of aerosol iodine converted into elemental iodine, causing a certain proportion of aerosol iodine to volatilize back into elemental iodine and be released from the wastewater.

[0153] Based on this, in some implementations, obtaining the total concentration of aerosol iodine retained in the spent pool of the nuclear power plant during the second time period specifically includes:

[0154] Obtain the sum of the molar numbers of each iodine isotope released from the gaps in damaged fuel assemblies in a nuclear power plant;

[0155] The total concentration of aerosol iodine retained in the spent pool of the nuclear power plant during the second time period is determined based on the sum of the molar numbers.

[0156] In some examples, the sum of the molar numbers of each iodine isotope released from the gaps in damaged fuel assemblies in a nuclear power plant is obtained, specifically including:

[0157] To obtain the decay constant of iodine, Avogadro's constant, and the iodine activity released from the gaps in damaged fuel assemblies in nuclear power plants;

[0158] Based on the decay constant, Avogadro's constant, and iodine activity, determine the sum of the molar numbers of each iodine isotope released from the gaps in damaged fuel assemblies in a nuclear power plant.

[0159] For example, the unit for the sum of moles is the mole (mol).

[0160] For example, the unit of iodine activity is becquerel (Bq).

[0161] For example, the decay constant is measured in seconds (s). -1 ).

[0162] For example, Avogadro's constant is 6.02 × 10⁻⁶. 23 mol -1 .

[0163] For example, the decay constant, Avogadro's constant, and iodine activity can all be pre-stored in the electronic device for direct later retrieval.

[0164] In some examples, the sum of the molar numbers of each iodine isotope released from the gaps in damaged fuel assemblies in nuclear power plants is determined based on the decay constant, Avogadro's constant, and iodine activity. These examples include:

[0165] Substituting the decay constant, Avogadro constant, and iodine activity into formula (4), the sum of the molar numbers of each iodine isotope released from the gaps in the damaged fuel assemblies in the nuclear power plant is calculated.

[0166] Formula (4) includes:

[0167]

[0168] Where, N I , gap The sum of the number of moles; A(I i ) represents iodine activity; I i It is an isotope of iodine; N is the decay constant; A is Avogadro's constant.

[0169] For example, I i May include I 131 and I 132 wait.

[0170] In some examples, the total concentration of aerosol iodine retained in the spent pool of the nuclear power plant during the second time period is determined based on the sum of molar numbers, specifically including:

[0171] Obtain the free volume of the waste pool;

[0172] Substituting the sum of free volume and number of moles into formula (5), the total concentration of aerosol iodine retained in the spent pool of the nuclear power plant during the second time period is calculated.

[0173] Formula (5) includes:

[0174]

[0175] Among them, C t This represents the total concentration of iodine in aerosols; N I,gap It is the sum of the number of moles; V pool For free volume.

[0176] For example, the total concentration of iodine in aerosols, C t The unit is moles per liter (mol / L).

[0177] For example, the free volume V pool The unit is liter (L).

[0178] For example, the free volume can be obtained by measurement or pre-stored in an electronic device for later direct retrieval.

[0179] In step S120, after the electronic device obtains the target decontamination factor corresponding to the target nuclide in the first time period and the total concentration of aerosol iodine retained in the spent pool of the nuclear power plant in the second time period, it can also determine the first release amount corresponding to the target nuclide in the first time period based on the target decontamination factor.

[0180] For example, based on the target decontamination factor, the first release amount corresponding to the target nuclide in the first time period is determined, specifically including: obtaining the accumulation amount, release share and percentage of the target nuclide; multiplying the accumulation amount, release share and percentage as the first product; and using the ratio of the first product to the target decontamination factor as the first release amount corresponding to the target nuclide in the first time period.

[0181] In step S130, after determining the first release amount of the target nuclide in the first time period based on the target decontamination factor, the electronic device can also determine the proportion of iodine that is volatilized again in elemental form in the waste pool in the second time period based on the total concentration of aerosol iodine.

[0182] In some implementations, the fraction of iodine that re-volatilizes in elemental form in the waste tank during the second time period is determined based on the total concentration of aerosol iodine, specifically including:

[0183] Obtain the concentration ratio of elemental iodine to iodide ions in the waste pool;

[0184] The partition coefficient of iodine in aerosols is determined based on the total concentration and concentration ratio of iodine in aerosols.

[0185] Based on the allocation coefficient and the total concentration of aerosol iodine, the proportion of iodine that re-volatilizes in elemental form in the waste tank during the second time period is determined.

[0186] In some examples, the concentration ratio of iodine to iodide ions in the waste pool is obtained, specifically including:

[0187] Obtain the hydrogen ion concentration in the wastewater;

[0188] Substituting the hydrogen ion concentration into formula (6), the concentration ratio of iodine element to the square of iodide ions in the waste pool is calculated.

[0189] Formula (6) includes:

[0190] R i =[I2] / [I - ] 2 =C h 2 / (6.05×10 -1 +1.47×10 -9 C h (6)

[0191] Among them, R i For concentration ratio; Ch This represents the hydrogen ion concentration.

[0192] For example, the hydrogen ion concentration satisfies: C h =[H + ] = 10 -pH .

[0193] In some examples, the partition coefficient of iodine in aerosols is determined based on the total concentration and concentration ratio of iodine in the aerosols, specifically including:

[0194] Substitute the total concentration and concentration ratio of iodine in the aerosol into formula (7) to calculate the distribution coefficient of iodine in the aerosol.

[0195] Formula (7) includes:

[0196] B m =4C t +1 / R i (7)

[0197] Among them, R i For concentration ratio; C t B represents the total concentration of iodine in aerosols. m This is the allocation coefficient.

[0198] In some examples, the fraction of iodine that re-volatilizes in elemental form in the waste tank during the second time period is determined based on the allocation coefficient and the total concentration of aerosol iodine, specifically for:

[0199] Substituting the distribution coefficient and the total concentration of aerosol iodine into formula (8), the proportion of iodine that is volatilized again in elemental form in the waste pool during the second time period is calculated.

[0200] Formula (8) includes:

[0201]

[0202] Among them, B m C is the allocation coefficient; t X represents the total concentration of iodine in aerosols. e This refers to the iodine content.

[0203] In step S140, after determining the proportion of iodine that is re-volatile in elemental form in the waste tank during the second time period based on the total concentration of aerosol iodine, the electronic device can also determine the second release amount of elemental iodine during the second time period based on the iodine proportion.

[0204] In some implementations, the second release of elemental iodine in the second time period is determined based on the iodine fraction, specifically including:

[0205] The rate of elemental iodine release from the spent pool during the second time period was determined based on the iodine fraction.

[0206] The second release amount of elemental iodine in the second time period was determined based on the elemental iodine rate.

[0207] For example, the unit of iodine rate is per second.

[0208] In some examples, the rate of elemental iodine release from the spent pool during the second time period is determined based on the iodine fraction, specifically including:

[0209] Obtain the mass transfer coefficient, surface area of ​​the waste pool, and free volume;

[0210] The rate at which elemental iodine is released from the waste pool during the second time period is determined based on the mass transfer coefficient, surface area, free volume, and iodine fraction.

[0211] For example, the mass transfer coefficient is 3.66 × 10⁻⁶. -6 m / s.

[0212] In some examples, the rate of elemental iodine release from the spent tank during the second time period is determined based on the mass transfer coefficient, surface area, and free volume. Specifically, this includes:

[0213] The rate at which elemental iodine is released from the waste pool during the second time period is calculated by substituting the mass transfer coefficient, surface area, and free volume into formula (9).

[0214] Formula (9) includes:

[0215] λ e =K L X e S pool / V pool (9)

[0216] Where, λ e For the rate of elemental iodine; K L X is the mass transfer coefficient; e For iodine fraction; S pool V is the surface area; pool For free volume.

[0217] For example, the surface area S pool The unit is square meters (m) 2 Surface area can be obtained through measurement or pre-stored in electronic devices for later direct retrieval.

[0218] For example, the product of the iodine rate, the accumulated amount of elemental iodine, and the release duration is taken as the second amount of elemental iodine released in the second time period. The release duration is measured in seconds (s).

[0219] In step S150, after determining the second release amount of elemental iodine in the second time period based on the iodine fraction, the electronic device can also generate the fuel operation accident source term result of the nuclear power plant based on the first release amount and the second release amount.

[0220] For example, the results of a fuel operation accident at a nuclear power plant include a first release and a second release.

[0221] To better understand the fuel operation accident source term determination method provided in the embodiments of this application, a specific implementation method will be described below.

[0222] like Figure 2 As shown, the interstitial release fraction of the highest component gaseous fission product accumulation 100 hours (h) after reactor shutdown includes 4.85% elemental iodine, 95% aerosol iodine, 0.15% organic iodine, and inert gases.

[0223] The detailed calculation steps for determining the source term results of this fuel operation accident include the following.

[0224] Phase 1 (i.e., the first period): From the start of the accident to 2 hours later, assuming the water layer thickness above the damaged fuel assembly is between 5.79m and 7.01m, the decontamination factor (DF) of elemental iodine... I The target decontamination factor (i.e., the decontamination factor) is related to the internal pressure of the fuel rod and is calculated as follows:

[0225] DF I =81.046e 0.305(t / d) (3)

[0226]

[0227] d = -0.0002x + 1.0009(2)

[0228] Where x is the internal pressure of the fuel rod, in psi;

[0229] t is the ascent time of the radioactive bubble, in seconds;

[0230] d is the diameter of the radioactive bubble, in cm;

[0231] For other nuclides (such as krypton, xenon, etc.) and organic iodine in the gaps between damaged fuel rods, their decontamination factor (i.e., the target decontamination factor) is assumed to be 1; for aerosol iodine, it is conservatively assumed that it is completely dissolved in the pool water.

[0232] Phase 2 (i.e., the second period): 2 hours to 30 days after the accident, the pH value of the pool water affects the proportion of aerosol iodine converted into elemental iodine, causing a certain proportion of aerosol iodine to volatilize back into elemental iodine and be released from the pool water.

[0233] Calculate the sum of the moles of each iodine isotope released from the gap in the damaged fuel assembly (∑N). I,gap (unit: mol):

[0234]

[0235] Among them, I i Iodine isotopes, such as I 131 I 132 wait;

[0236] A(I i () represents the iodine activity released from the gaps in the damaged fuel assembly, in Bq.

[0237] λ Ii is the decay constant of iodine, in units of s⁻¹;

[0238] N A is Avogadro's constant, 6.02 × 10⁻⁶. 23 mol-1;

[0239] Calculate the total concentration of aerosol iodine (C) retained in the wastewater tank. t (unit: mol / L):

[0240]

[0241] Among them, V pool The free volume of the wastewater is expressed in liters (L).

[0242] Calculate [I2] / [I - ] 2 Concentration ratio (R) i ):

[0243] R i =[I2] / [I - ] 2 =C h 2 / (6.05×10 -14 +1.47×10 -9 C h (6)

[0244] Among them, C h =[H + ] = 10 -pH .

[0245] Calculate the proportion of iodine that re-volatilizes in the pool water as elemental iodine (X). e ):

[0246]

[0247] Among them, B m Satisfy: Bm =4C t +1 / R i (7).

[0248] In summary, the rate (λ) of elemental iodine released from the pool water in stage 2 e Unit s -1 ):

[0249] λe=K L X e S pool / V pool (9)

[0250] Among them, K L The mass transfer coefficient is 3.66 × 10⁻⁶. -6 m / s;

[0251] S pool The surface area of ​​the wastewater pool is expressed in meters (m²). 2 .

[0252] It is understood that the embodiments of this application propose a refined method for calculating the source terms of nuclear power plant fuel operation accidents (i.e., a method for determining the source terms of nuclear power plant fuel operation accidents). It comprehensively considers calculation parameters such as the water depth above the damaged fuel assembly, the internal pressure of the fuel rod, the surface area of ​​the spent fuel pool, the free volume, the pH value, and the amount of radioactive fission products accumulated in the spent fuel assembly at the initial moment of the accident. It analyzes in detail the process of fission products being released from the gaps in the damaged fuel cladding into the spent fuel pool in the early stage of the accident (stage 1), and the process of some aerosol iodine being volatilized from the pool into elemental iodine and then released into the environment (stage 2).

[0253] It should be noted that current traditional methods for calculating the source terms of fuel handling accidents occurring within the fuel building are overly conservative. These methods assume that radioactive materials escaping from the fuel pool into the fuel building are released into the environment within two hours, and conservatively assume that aerosol iodine is completely dissolved in the spent fuel pool. Furthermore, they conservatively assume that when the pool water has a low pH, the aerosol iodine entering the pool water instantly transforms into elemental iodine. This application proposes a refined method for calculating the source terms of nuclear power plant fuel handling accidents, comprehensively considering the impact of detailed design parameters of the nuclear power plant on the elemental iodine decontamination factor, aerosol iodine dissolution, and speciation processes. This application is the first to propose a method for calculating the source terms of nuclear power plant fuel handling accidents based on actual conditions, resulting in more refined and realistic assessments.

[0254] To better understand the method for determining the source term of a fuel operation accident in a nuclear power plant provided in the embodiments of this application, the following explanation is provided in conjunction with specific calculation examples.

[0255] Table 1 shows the highest accumulation of gaseous fission products in the components 100 hours after reactor shutdown. Iodine was classified into three forms: 95% aerosol iodine, 4.85% elemental iodine, and 0.15% organic iodine. Table 2 shows the proportion of fission products released from the fuel rod gaps. Table 3 shows the half-lives of various iodine isotopes.

[0256] Table 1

[0257]

[0258]

[0259] Table 2

[0260] Nuclide Release fraction I-131 0.07 I-132 0.07 Kr-85 0.4 Other noble gases 0.06

[0261] Table 3

[0262] Nuclide half-life (s -1 )]]> I-131 9.97E-07 I-132 8.36E-05 I-133 9.25E-06 I-134 2.20E-04 I-135 2.92E-05

[0263] The water depth above the damaged fuel assembly is 6.7 m, and the internal pressure of the fuel rod is approximately 9.48 MPa (1374.6 psi); the free volume of the spent fuel pool is 501 m³. 3 The surface area is 51m² 2 The pH value of the pool water is 4.8.

[0264] The detergency factor of elemental iodine in Stage 1 is calculated as follows:

[0265]

[0266] d=-0.0002x+1.0009=-0.0002×1374.6+1.0009=0.72598

[0267] DF I =81.046e 0.305(t / d) =81.046e 0.305(4.04417 / 0.72598) =443.2

[0268] For a Phase 1 accident with a release period of 0-2 hours, taking I-131 as an example, the amount of elemental iodine released is:

[0269] 7.94E+15×0.07×4.85% / 443.2=6.08E+10Bq

[0270] The organic iodine detergency factor is 1, and its release amount is:

[0271] 7.94E+15×0.07×0.15%=8.34E+11Bq

[0272] All aerosol iodine remained in the pool water and was not released during stage 1.

[0273] Taking Kr-85 as an example, the release amount of inert gas is:

[0274] 1.40E + 14 × 0.4 = 5.6E + 13Bq

[0275] Similarly, the release amounts of other iodine isotopes, organic iodine, and other inert gases in stage 1 can be obtained.

[0276] The rate of elemental iodine released from the pool water by aerosol iodine re-evaporation in stage 2 is calculated as follows:

[0277]

[0278] C h =[H + ] = 10 -pH =10 -4.8 =1.55×10 -5

[0279] R i =[I2] / [I - ] 2 =C h 2 / (6.05×10 -14 +1.47×10 -9 C h ) = 2997.55

[0280] B m =4C t +1 / R i = 4 × 1.79 × 10 -9 +1 / 2997.55 = 3.34 × 10 -4

[0281]

[0282] λe=K L X e S pool / V pool =4×10 -12

[0283] Phase 2 accident release periods range from 2 hours to 30 days. Taking I-131 as an example, the amount of aerosol iodine released as elemental iodine during different release periods in this phase is as follows:

[0284] 2-8 hours: 7.94E+15×4×10 -12 ×6×3600=6.52×10 8 Bq

[0285] 8-24 hours: 7.94E+15×4×10-12 ×16×3600=6.52×10 8 Bq

[0286] Days 1-4: 7.94E + 15 × 4 × 10 -12 ×3×24×3600=6.52×10 8 Bq

[0287] 4-30 days: 7.94E+15×4×10 -12 ×26×24×3600=6.52×10 8 Bq

[0288] Similarly, the amount of elemental iodine released from other iodine isotopes at different release periods can be obtained.

[0289] In summary, after considering detailed design parameters, the refined fuel operation accident source item results are shown in Table 4.

[0292] Example 2

[0293] This application embodiment also provides a fuel operation accident alarm method for a nuclear power plant, which includes steps S210 to S230.

[0294] S110. Generate fuel operation accident source term results for the nuclear power plant according to the method for determining fuel operation accident source terms in Example 1.

[0295] S120. The accident consequence assessment model is used to process the source term results of the fuel operation accident to obtain the radioactive dose distribution corresponding to the source term results of the fuel operation accident.

[0296] S130. When the radioactive dose distribution is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, output alarm information. The alarm information is used to indicate that the radioactive dose distribution is greater than or equal to the preset threshold.

[0297] For example, an accident consequence assessment model is a type of computer simulation tool used to quantify the impact of radioactive material releases on people, the environment, and society. For instance, an accident consequence assessment model may include a Gaussian plume model, etc.

[0298] For example, the radioactive dose distribution includes the radioactive dose distribution within the factory area and the radioactive dose distribution in the public area outside the factory. An alarm is output when the radioactive dose distribution within the factory area is greater than or equal to its corresponding preset threshold, and / or when the radioactive dose distribution in the public area outside the factory is greater than or equal to its corresponding preset threshold.

[0299] For example, the preset threshold can be determined according to existing standards.

[0300] In this embodiment of the application, the source term results of the fuel operation accident of the nuclear power plant are first generated, and then the source term results of the fuel operation accident are processed by the accident consequence assessment model to obtain the radioactive dose distribution corresponding to the source term results of the fuel operation accident. Then, when the radioactive dose distribution is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, an alarm message is output so as to promptly remind the staff of abnormal radioactive dose.

[0308] According to the nuclear power plant fuel operation accident source term determination device provided in the embodiments of this application, the target decontamination factor corresponding to the target nuclide in the first time period and the total concentration of aerosol iodine retained in the spent pool of the nuclear power plant in the second time period are first obtained; the target nuclide includes at least one of radioactive isotopes of inert gases, elemental iodine, and organic iodine; the first time period includes from the time of the fuel operation accident of the nuclear power plant to the Nth hour after the accident; the second time period includes from the Nth hour to the Mth hour after the fuel operation accident, where M is greater than N; secondly, based on the target decontamination factor, the first release amount corresponding to the target nuclide in the first time period is determined; then, based on the total concentration of aerosol iodine, the fraction of iodine that is re-volatile in elemental form in the spent pool in the second time period is determined; then, based on the iodine fraction, the second release amount of elemental iodine in the second time period is determined; and finally, based on the first release amount and the second release amount, the nuclear power plant fuel operation accident source term result is generated. In other words, in this embodiment of the application, by comprehensively considering the impact of the target decontamination factor, aerosol iodine concentration, and the proportion of iodine re-volatilized in elemental form in the second-period spent pool on the fuel operation accident source terms of the nuclear power plant, the accuracy of the determination of the fuel operation accident source terms of the nuclear power plant can be improved.
