Technical Field

[0002] The analysis laboratory of the reprocessing plant is the "eye" of the main reprocessing process and the three waste treatment process, and is a key sub-project to ensure the safe and stable operation of the reprocessing process. The task of this laboratory is to provide timely and reliable analysis results and timely feedback for all main processes and three waste treatment processes, meet the requirements of process control, nuclear material balance, product inspection, criticality safety control, etc., so as to ensure the safe, stable and effective operation of the process and obtain qualified uranium and plutonium products. Due to the complex sources of the analysis samples of the reprocessing plant, the large sample scale, the diversity of analysis items, the large number and variety of analysis instruments, the cumbersome sample circulation, and the certain radioactivity of the samples, there are particularities in the design of analysis principles, analysis operations and analysis methods. At the same time, there is a lack of a systematic concept of the analysis laboratory of the reprocessing plant. For example, the Chinese invention patent application CN112630455A discloses a method and system for the analysis of spent fuel reprocessing plant samples, which mainly focuses on the sample analysis process and does not comprehensively plan the overall design of the analysis laboratory of the reprocessing plant. In addition, the design methods of ordinary laboratories at home and abroad are far from meeting the analysis needs of the analysis laboratory of the reprocessing plant.

[0003] The design of analytical laboratories in traditional post-processing plants in my country has at least the following deficiencies:

[0004] (1) The design concept could not be comprehensively planned according to the particularity of the analytical laboratory of the post-processing plant. Instead, some laboratory rooms were designed and some chambers were arranged in the rooms. The process analysis requirements were not clearly defined, and some analytical items did not have corresponding analytical methods.

[0005] (2) For high-level samples and positions where sample analysis is difficult, no automatic analysis method is set up, and non-automatic analysis is time-consuming and inefficient;

[0006] (3) Some small instruments are sealed in a glove box, which is inconvenient for personnel to operate. The electronic components of the instruments are easily damaged by radiation, affecting the performance of the instruments.

[0007] (4) The waste liquid, solid waste and waste gas generated during the analysis process were not properly handled, and the overall analysis process lacked quality control measures. Summary of the invention

[0117] When the medium-level radioactive waste samples that have completed the medium-level radioactive automatic analysis in the process sample receiving and sending glove box or cannot be analyzed by the medium-level radioactive automatic analysis unit 14 are manually moved to the three-waste sample pretreatment glove box to complete the pretreatment and then moved back to the three-waste sample receiving and sending glove box, the pneumatic sample delivery system 2 is used to transmit the low-level radioactive waste samples that have completed the pretreatment and whose radioactive activity has been reduced to a low-level level to the low-level analysis system 6.

[0118] In summary, the medium-level radioactive samples are transmitted to the medium-level radioactive automatic analysis unit 14 for automatic analysis through the pneumatic sample delivery system 2.

[0119] In this embodiment, the intermediate radioactive samples include intermediate radioactive process samples 39 and intermediate radioactive waste samples 40.

After the analysis is completed, the sample is returned to the hot chamber through the pneumatic sample delivery system 2.

[0121] The medium-release process analysis unit 15 includes two glove box analysis lines, namely the first medium-release process analysis line 42 and the second medium-release process analysis line 43, which are mainly responsible for the analysis of medium-release samples in the post-processing process that cannot be completed in the medium-release automatic analysis unit 14. The first and second medium-release process analysis lines are arranged in different analysis rooms, and the sample analysis operations are performed in the glove boxes of the first and second medium-release process analysis lines.

[0122] It should be noted that different analytical instruments are installed in each glove box in each glove box analysis line according to the analysis requirements and analysis methods; at the same time, the arrangement order of the glove boxes on the glove box analysis line is set according to the convenience of sample flow and operation.

[0123] In some embodiments, the analysis of samples is mainly carried out in a glove box analysis line, and most of the instruments adopt a modular design, that is, the instrument parts that are in direct contact with the samples are placed inside the glove box, and the instrument control parts and non-contact sample parts are placed outside the glove box, which is convenient for inspection, maintenance and replacement of the instrument and more convenient for personnel operation.

[0124] The medium-level radioactive waste analysis unit 16 includes a glove box analysis line, namely the medium-level radioactive waste analysis line 44, which is mainly responsible for the analysis projects of the post-processed waste samples that cannot be completed in the medium-level radioactive waste automatic analysis unit 14; it also undertakes the analysis tasks of some low-level samples 41, and some medium-level radioactive waste samples can also be analyzed on the medium-level radioactive process analysis line.

[0125] The isotope analysis unit 17 includes a surface thermal ionization mass spectrometer for nuclear material balance analysis and two high-resolution plasma mass spectrometers for criticality safety control analysis.

[0126] like Figure 3 The diagram shows the sample flow of the medium-level analysis system. The medium-level process samples 39 and some low-level samples 41 from the post-processing plant, and some pre-processed high-level process samples 28 are preferentially sent to the sample receiving and sending glove box of the first medium-level process analysis line 42 or the second medium-level process analysis line 43 through the pneumatic sample delivery system 2. The second medium-level process analysis line is mainly used for the analysis of concentrated plutonium samples. The sample bottles are scanned and identified, and the radioactivity or concentration range of the analysis items is determined to determine whether to send them to the medium-level automatic analysis unit 14, or to transfer them to other glove boxes of the first and second medium-level process analysis lines for direct sample analysis or sample pretreatment, or to the low-level analysis system 6 / isotope analysis unit 17.

[0127] The intermediate-level radioactive waste samples 40 and some low-level radioactive waste samples 41 from the waste treatment plant are transported to the sample sending and receiving glove box of the intermediate-level radioactive waste analysis line 45 through the pneumatic sample delivery system 2. After the sample bottles are scanned and identified, they are sent to the intermediate-level radioactive waste automatic analysis unit 14 according to the radioactive activity or concentration range of the analysis items, or transferred to other glove boxes of the waste analysis line for sample pretreatment or direct analysis, or transported to the low-level analysis system 6 / isotope analysis unit 17.

[0128] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, taking a medium-level radiation process analysis line as an example, the analysis line consists of 5 glove boxes connected in series. The detailed design of the function of each glove box is carried out according to the analysis requirements and methods of the medium-level radiation samples, as well as the convenience of sample flow and operation. With the glove box operating surface as the front, from right to left, there are photometric analysis glove box, acidity analysis glove box, sample sending and receiving glove box, sample pretreatment glove box and gas chromatography glove box.

[0129] The samples are first transferred or temporarily stored in the sending and receiving glove box. Three sets of sending and receiving devices are set in the sending and receiving glove box. The sending and receiving device 1# receives the medium-radioactive samples 39, some pre-treated high-radioactive samples 28, and some low-radioactive samples 41 sent from the post-processing process plant through the pneumatic sample delivery system 2, and scans the sample bottle for identification, and the identification information is uploaded to the laboratory information management system (LIMS). According to the radioactivity or concentration range of the analysis project, it is determined to be sent to the medium-radioactive automatic analysis unit 14 or other analysis room; the sending and receiving device 2# sends the sample to the medium-radioactive automatic analysis position 44 of the medium-radioactive automatic analysis unit 14 for analysis. The medium-radioactive automatic analysis position 44 includes one or more analytical instruments. The automatic analysis instrument is selected according to the specific measurement project. After the analysis is completed, the sample bottle is returned to the sample sending and receiving glove box through the pneumatic sample delivery system 2 for uncapping and sampling analysis; the sending and receiving device 3# mainly performs sample pretreatment (dilution, separation) and then sends it to the isotope analysis unit 17, the low-radioactive analysis system 6 or other medium-radioactive analysis room through the pneumatic sample delivery system 2. After being transferred or temporarily stored at the sending and receiving station, the samples are manually transferred through the channels between the glove boxes to other glove boxes on the analysis line for analysis and measurement.

[0130] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the sample sending and receiving glove box may include one, two or more sets of sending and receiving devices, not limited to three sets of sending and receiving devices, that is, it is necessary to match the corresponding sending and receiving devices according to the actual process path of the sample.

[0131] With the glove box operation surface as the front, the left and right sides of the sample receiving and sending glove box are the sample pretreatment glove box and the acidity analysis glove box respectively. The gas chromatograph that requires sample pretreatment and sample preparation analysis is concentrated on the left side of the sample pretreatment glove box to avoid detours in sample delivery. The acidity analyzer and photometric analyzer that do not require sample pretreatment analysis are concentrated on the right side of the sample pretreatment glove box. This design allows different analysis items of the same sample to be completed on the same glove box analysis line as much as possible, reducing sample splitting and sample transfer operations within the analysis center, shortening the sample transfer path, and improving sample analysis efficiency.

[0132] In addition, a large number of modular analytical instruments are used in the medium-level radioactive process analysis line, including potentiometric titrators, near-infrared spectrometers, pH meters, sample separation devices, dilution and liquid preparation devices, etc. The parts of the instrument that are in contact with the radioactive liquid, such as the titration table, measurement chamber, ion separation column, etc., are placed in the glove box, and other parts of the instrument, such as detectors, control panels and other electronic parts, are placed outside the glove box. The two parts are connected by cables or reagent tubes, which effectively avoids the influence of the complex environment in the box on the measurement; at the same time, the modular design of the instrument can avoid the formation of solid waste due to radiation damage or radioactive contamination of electronic parts of the instrument, greatly extending the service life of the instrument, simplifying maintenance operations, reducing the amount of solid waste, and improving the safety, convenience and efficiency of analytical laboratory operations.

[0133] In this embodiment, the low-radiation analysis system 6 includes a radioactive source and measurement unit 20, a mass spectrometry unit 21 and other low-radiation analysis units 22.
