Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of complex radiation field inversion technology, and in particular to a complex radiation field inversion system and method based on a multi-layer source grid. Background Technology

[0002] In the shielding design of nuclear power plants, there are numerous and complex pieces of equipment, and the dose field distribution within the plant is equally complex and variable. To conduct precise, comprehensive, and accurate radiation protection design for nuclear power plants, detailed calculations of the dose field distribution within the plant are necessary.

[0003] During the maintenance and decommissioning of nuclear facilities, dose assessment of work plans is a crucial means of achieving on-site dose reduction. Establishing the radiation field of the work area can be achieved in advance through software simulations of the work process, providing dose information and optimizing the work plan to further effectively reduce the radiation dose to workers. Therefore, conducting research on rapid radiation field calculations can provide advanced and more operational technical support for optimizing radiation protection, significantly improving the safety level of on-site radiation protection at nuclear facilities. Inversion methods are an important means of rapid radiation field calculation.

[0004] The inversion method retrieves the true source term distribution within the reactor by analyzing readings from external detectors. It then calculates the contribution function of the source terms to the spatial dose value of the radiation field through transport calculations. Multiplying the source term distribution by the contribution function yields the radiation field distribution. Source term information is the input and a prerequisite for the calculation. Traditional inversion methods treat in-reactor radioactive sources as uniformly distributed volume or point sources. However, in reality, the reactor's internal components are complex, resulting in a complex and non-uniform distribution of radioactive sources. The source terms are activated using the reactor core coolant. 16 Taking N as an example, the coolant flow rate in a pressurized water reactor is relatively fast. 16 The nitrogen source term is relatively uniformly distributed in the main coolant system, while the design flow rate is lower in high-temperature reactors. 16 The distribution of nitrogen (N) in different regions of the main coolant system exhibits significant non-uniformity, with activity differences reaching up to two orders of magnitude. In this situation, current source term inversion methods, which treat the source term as a uniform distribution before inversion, introduce substantial errors, failing to provide accurate and reliable radiation field distribution data. This is particularly true at locations close to the source term, where the deviation from the true value is significant and cannot be ignored.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a radiation field inversion method that can obtain a true negative non-uniformly distributed radiation source and construct a reliable radiation field distribution. Summary of the Invention

[0025] The multi-layer source mesh generation subsystem 210 is specifically used for:

[0026] Define a radioactive source with the same shape and uniform source intensity at the location of the complex source term, and ensure that the total source intensity of the radioactive source is equal to the total source intensity of the complex source term. Specifically:

[0028] The radioactive source is divided into multiple coarse-grid volume sources, with the source intensity uniformly distributed within each coarse-grid volume source. The sum of the source intensities of all coarse-grid volume sources is equal to the total source intensity of the complex source term. Specifically:

The nth coarse grid source... The source strength is Furthermore, the sum of the source strengths of all coarse-grid volume sources and the complex source term S in The total source intensity is equal because the radioactive source Total source strength With the complex source term S to be inverted in If the total source strengths are equal, then it can be expressed as:

[0030] Each coarse-grid source is divided into multiple fine-grid sources. The source intensity within each fine-grid source is uniformly distributed. The sum of the source intensities of all fine-grid sources is equal to the total source intensity of the complex source term. Furthermore, the total source intensity of any coarse-grid source is equal to the total source intensity of all fine-grid sources derived from that coarse-grid source. Specifically:

[0031] radioactive source Divide into M fine-mesh volume sources. Specifically, each coarse-mesh volume source is further divided into M fine-mesh volume sources, based on the complex source term S. in The complexity is determined by the value of M, which ranges from 4 to 50. The source intensity within each fine-mesh volume source is uniformly distributed, and the distribution of all fine-mesh volume sources can characterize the complex source term S. in Non-uniform distribution of source strength within the m-th fine mesh volume source The source strength is m = 1, 2, ..., M, the sum of the source strengths of all fine mesh volumes and the complex source term S in The total source strength is equal, and the sum of the source strengths of fine mesh sources belonging to the same coarse mesh source is equal to the source strength of that coarse mesh.

[0032] The detector partitioning subsystem 220 is used to: set up detectors for the radiation source, all coarse grid sources and all fine grid sources in different ways, so as to detect and obtain the first measurement value corresponding to the radiation source, the second measurement value corresponding to all coarse grid sources and the third measurement value corresponding to all fine grid sources;

[0033] The detector zoning subsystem 220 is used for:

[0034] A first detector is deployed at a location within a first preset distance from the radiation source to obtain a first measurement value corresponding to the radiation source. In other words, the first detector is deployed at any location greater than the first preset distance from the radiation source, designated as a first preset distance. Specifically:

[0035] For radioactive sources A detector is deployed at a location relatively far from the source, with a preset distance >1m. This location is within a certain distance of the radiation source. Relatively distant, complex source term S in The non-uniform distribution has little impact on the detector, i.e., the first detector, which is sensitive to complex source terms S. in The response can be equivalent to the detector, i.e., the first detector, responding to the radioactive source. The response.

[0036] Multiple second detectors are deployed at a second preset distance from all coarse-grid volume sources in Zone 2, so that the second measurement values ​​corresponding to all coarse-grid volume sources can be obtained through detection by all second detectors. Specifically:

[0037] For a coarse-grid source, N2 detectors are deployed, i.e., the second detector is located in the second zone, which is far away from the coarse-grid source. The second preset distance is >0.5m. In other words, the distance between each coarse-grid source and the second zone location must be greater than 0.5m.

[0038] According to the complex source term S in The complexity of the distribution, N2, ranges from N / 4 to N / 2. The arrangement of the detectors, i.e., the second detector, satisfies the following conditions:

A second detector is arranged every 360° / 4 on the circle, that is, a second detector is arranged every 90° on the circle.

[0044] It should be noted that the second detector is distributed around the set of all coarse-grid volume sources in a dispersed manner as much as possible, and this can be adjusted according to the actual situation.

[0045] Multiple third detectors are deployed at three locations within a third preset distance from all fine-grid volume sources. The third detectors are used to obtain the third measurement values ​​corresponding to all fine-grid volume sources. Specifically:

[0046] For a fine-grid volume source, N3 detectors are deployed, with the third detector located in the third region, which is relatively far from the fine-grid volume source. The third preset distance is <0.5m. In other words, the distance between each coarse-grid volume source and the third region location must be less than 0.5m. According to the complex source term S... in The complexity of the distribution, N3, ranges from M / 4 to M / 2. The detector, i.e., the third detector, is arranged to satisfy the following conditions:

[0047] 1) The detectors in the three regions, namely the third detectors in the three regions, are sensitive to different fine-mesh volume sources;

[0048] 2) Compared to the locations in Zones 1 and 2, the location in Zone 3 is closer to the radiation source. More recently, the third detector studied the complex source term S. in The response can be equivalent to the response of the third detector to the fine mesh source.

[0049] The arrangement of the third detectors will be explained using an example of eight third detectors:

[0050] Using the centroid of the set of all fine mesh sources as the center, and the plane perpendicular to the normal direction of the set of all fine mesh sources as the reference plane, and with a third preset distance as the radius, a circle is established. A second detector is arranged every 360° / 8 on the circle, that is, a third detector is arranged every 45° on the circle.

[0051] It should be noted that the distribution of the third detector around the set of all fine-grid volume sources in a dispersed manner can be adjusted according to the actual situation.

[0052] Measurements were performed using the first detector in zone one, the second detector in zone two, and the third detector in zone three, respectively, to obtain the radioactive source. The corresponding first measurement value The second measurement value corresponding to all coarse mesh volume sources And the third measurement value corresponding to all fine mesh volume sources. in, This represents the measurement values ​​from the first and second detectors. This represents the measurement value of the second detector, ... This represents the measurement value of the N2nd second detector; This represents the measurement value of the first third detector. This represents the measurement values ​​from the second and third detectors, ... This represents the measurement value of the N3rd third detector;
