AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the existing technology, the neutron radiation resistance test of neutron absorbing materials fails to truly reflect their performance in the spent fuel storage and transportation environment. In particular, since the influence of the water environment is not considered during irradiation in the reactor, the assessment results are not objective.

Method used

By isolating the samples from the air and water environment in a test tank, the service conditions of neutron absorbing materials are simulated, and irradiation is carried out in a reactor. The neutron radiation resistance is evaluated by combining multiple performance tests (appearance, size, density, B-10 surface density, room temperature tensile, high temperature tensile and impact tests).

Benefits of technology

The objectivity and comprehensiveness of the evaluation of neutron absorption materials' resistance to neutron irradiation are improved, ensuring that the evaluation results more accurately reflect their performance changes under service conditions.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of material detection, in particular to a method for testing neutron irradiation resistance of neutron absorbing material. BACKGROUND

[0002] Spent fuel has the characteristics of strong radioactivity and release of a large amount of decay heat, and there is a risk of nuclear criticality, which will cause incalculable disaster if not properly disposed. Safe and reliable management of spent fuel is the key to the future of nuclear energy and the basis for ensuring the safe operation of nuclear power. At present, dry storage tanks are often used to store spent fuel during storage and transportation. Neutron absorbing material plays a crucial role in the process of spent fuel storage and transportation, and is a necessary material for subcritical control and radiation protection of spent fuel during storage and transportation, and is one of the most core materials for spent fuel storage and transportation containers.

[0003] In addition to being a structural and functional integrated material, neutron absorbing material not only needs to have high temperature mechanical properties that meet the requirements, but also needs to have neutron irradiation resistance that meets the requirements. The neutron irradiation caused by the decay of spent fuel will affect the appearance size, B-10 surface density and mechanical properties of the material, so it is necessary to comprehensively and effectively evaluate the neutron irradiation resistance of the neutron absorbing material. At present, when testing the neutron irradiation resistance of the neutron absorbing material, the sample is usually directly placed in the water environment in the reactor for irradiation, which does not correspond to the dry storage and transportation environment of the spent fuel (i.e. the environment during irradiation is different from the actual service conditions of the neutron absorbing material), and the influence of the water environment on the neutron irradiation resistance is not considered, so the neutron irradiation resistance of the neutron absorbing material cannot be objectively reflected. SUMMARY

Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0069] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings. Meanwhile, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", and the like are only used to distinguish description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0078] The sample is isolated from the external air environment and water environment by the test tank, and is irradiated in the reactor, and then whether the neutron irradiation resistance of the neutron absorbing material is qualified is judged according to the performance test results before and after irradiation. Since the sample is prevented from contacting the air and water environment during irradiation, the service condition of the neutron absorbing material is simulated, the neutron irradiation resistance of the neutron absorbing material under the service condition is comprehensively evaluated, and the objectivity of the evaluation result is better.

[0079] Preferably, the performance tests include appearance detection, size measurement, weight measurement, density measurement, B-10 (B-10 is an isotope of boron) surface density measurement, room temperature tensile test, high temperature tensile test and impact test.

[0080] The neutron irradiation resistance of the neutron absorbing material can be comprehensively and scientifically evaluated by comprehensively evaluating the various performance tests.

[0081] In some preferred embodiments, step A1 comprises:

[0082] The first sample, the room temperature tensile test sample, the high temperature tensile test sample, the impact test sample and the B-10 surface density measurement sample are prepared; at least three of each sample are prepared.

[0083] Different samples are prepared for different performance tests, which is beneficial to ensure that the shape and size of each sample can meet the test requirements of the corresponding performance test, thereby further improving the objectivity of the evaluation results.

[0084] The following is Figures 2-5 The structure of various samples is described, wherein the length is the size of the left-right direction in the figure, the width is the size of the up-down direction in the figure, and the thickness is the size of the direction perpendicular to the paper in the figure.

[0085] The structure of the first sample is shown in Figure 2 It is a rectangular sheet with a thickness of 1mm-5mm (preferably 2mm), a length of 10mm-50mm (preferably 32mm) and a width of 10mm-50mm (preferably 16mm).

[0086] The structure of the impact test sample is shown in Figure 3 It is a rectangular column with a V-shaped groove in the center of the upper part, the V-shaped groove penetrates through the two sides of the impact test sample in the thickness direction, and the included angle between the two sides of the V-shaped groove is 45°; the length of the impact test sample is 55mm, the width is 10mm, and the thickness is 10mm.

[0087] The structure of the room temperature tensile test sample and the high temperature tensile test sample is shown in Figure 4As shown, the sample includes two connecting portions at two ends and a stretching portion connected between the two connecting portions, the width of the stretching portion is smaller than the width of the connecting portions, and the connecting portions are provided with connecting holes, wherein the width and length of the stretching portion are set according to the relevant provisions of “Metallic Materials - Tensile Testing - Part 1: Method of Test at Room Temperature” (GB / T 228.1-2010) and “Metallic Materials - Tensile Testing - Part 2: Method of Test at Elevated Temperature” (GB / T 228.2-2015); the thickness of the room temperature tensile test sample and the high temperature tensile test sample is 1mm-3mm (preferably 2mm), the length (referring to the total length) is 50mm-150mm (preferably 134.72mm), the width (referring to the maximum width) is 10mm-50mm (preferably 32mm), and the aperture of the connecting hole is 5mm-15mm (preferably 10mm).

[0088] As shown, the structure of the B-10 area density measurement sample is a rectangular sheet with a thickness of 1mm-5mm (preferably 2mm), a length of 10mm-50mm (preferably 10mm), and a width of 10mm-50mm (preferably 10mm). Figure 5

[0089] Generally, when preparing the sample, it is prepared by sampling from the plate or rod of the neutron absorbing material to be tested, and at least three samples of the same kind can be prepared by sampling from different parts (head, tail, middle, edge, etc.) of the plate or rod, so as to take into account the universality and representativeness of the test results.

[0090] In this embodiment, step A2 includes:

[0091] The surface of the sample is polished or sandblasted;

[0092] The sample is cleaned using ethanol and ultrasonic waves.

[0093] Since the surface roughness of the material processed by the factory is relatively large and there may be oil stains, which will affect the subsequent performance test, the above-mentioned pretreatment is needed to reduce the surface roughness of the sample and remove the oil stains.

[0094] When polishing, mechanical milling or mechanical polishing can be used, and if mechanical polishing is used, sandpaper with a fineness of not less than 3000 can be used.

[0095] In fact, the above-mentioned pretreatment method is not limited to reducing the surface roughness of the sample and removing the oil stains, and other existing surface stain removal methods and surface roughness treatment methods can also be used to remove the oil stains and reduce the surface roughness of the sample.

[0096] Specifically, step A3 includes:

[0097] ​A301. Appearance detection, size measurement, weight measurement and density measurement are performed on all the first samples;

[0098] A302. B-10 area density measurement is performed on part of the first samples selected for B-10 area density measurement;

[0099] A303. Room temperature tensile test is performed on part of the first samples selected for room temperature tensile test;

[0100] A304. High temperature tensile test is performed on part of the first samples selected for high temperature tensile test;

[0101] A305. Impact test is performed on part of the first samples selected for impact test at room temperature.

[0102] Wherein, when the appearance detection is performed, the video system or digital camera can be used to check the surface state of the first sample according to the provisions of “Non-destructive Testing of Mechanical Equipment for Nuclear Island of Nuclear Power Plant Part 7: Visual Inspection” (NB / T 20003.7) to check whether there are defects such as corrosion, cracks, scratches, etc. If the first sample has no visible defects such as swelling, corrugation, folding, cracking and scratching, etc., it is determined that the appearance detection of the first sample is qualified, and if the first sample has at least one of the above defects, it is determined that the appearance detection of the first sample is unqualified.

[0103] Wherein, when the size measurement is performed, the length, width and thickness of the first sample are mainly measured. When the length and width are measured, the digital caliper (with an accuracy of not higher than 0.01 mm) can be used to measure the size (length and width) of the first sample at least at three positions and take the average value as the measurement result, and when the thickness is measured, the inductance micrometer (with an accuracy of not higher than 0.001 m) can be used to measure the thickness of the first sample at least at nine positions and take the average value as the measurement result.

[0104] Wherein, when the weight measurement is performed, the measurement can be performed according to the provisions of “Electronic Balance” (GB / T 26497-2011), and the Mettler XSR204 electronic balance (with an accuracy of ±0.1 mg) can be used to measure the dry weight and wet weight of the first sample.

[0105] Wherein, when the density measurement is performed, the measurement can be performed according to the provisions of “Method for Determining the Density of Dense Sintered Metal Materials and Hard Alloys” (GB / T 3850-2015), and the density of the first sample is calculated according to the dry weight and wet weight measurement results.

[0106] Wherein, when the B-10 area density measurement is carried out, the boron carbide mass fraction can be measured according to the provisions of the Standard Test Method for Chemical, Mass Spectrometric, and Spectrochemical Analysis of Boron Carbide, Nuclear-Purity Grade (ASTM C791-2011) or the applicable parts of the corresponding national standard or other comparable test methods, and the B-10 isotope content can be measured according to the Standard Test Method for Constituents in Composite Materials (ASTM D3171-15) or the corresponding national standard or other comparable test methods, and then the B-10 area density is calculated according to the boron carbide mass fraction and the B-10 isotope content (the specific calculation process is prior art, which is not limited here).

[0107] Wherein, when the room temperature tensile test is carried out, the test can be carried out according to the provisions of Metallic Materials-Tensile Testing-Part 1: Method of Test at Room Temperature (GB / T 228.1-2010), and the tensile strength and elongation at break of the room temperature tensile test sample can be obtained by tensile test on a universal material testing machine.

[0108] Wherein, when the high temperature tensile test is carried out, the test can be carried out according to the provisions of Metallic Materials-Tensile Testing-Part 2: Method of Test at Elevated Temperature (GB / T 228.2-2015), the high temperature tensile test temperature is 450℃, and the tensile strength and elongation at break of the high temperature tensile test sample can be obtained by tensile test on a universal material testing machine.

[0109] Wherein, when the impact test is carried out, the test can be carried out according to the provisions of Metallic Materials Charpy Pendulum Impact Test Method (GB / T 229-2020), and the impact energy of the impact test sample at room temperature can be tested.

[0110] Further, step A4 comprises:

[0111] The first sample that passes the appearance detection, the B-10 area density measurement sample that has not been subjected to B-10 area density measurement, the room temperature tensile test sample that has not been subjected to room temperature tensile test, the high temperature tensile test sample that has not been subjected to high temperature tensile test, and the impact test sample that has not been subjected to impact test are fixed in the test tank.

[0112] The samples that have been subjected to B-10 area density measurement, room temperature tensile test, high temperature tensile test and impact test will be damaged to a certain extent, resulting in changes in shape and / or mechanical properties, and therefore cannot be used for subsequent tests, so only the B-10 area density measurement sample that has not been subjected to B-10 area density measurement, the room temperature tensile test sample that has not been subjected to room temperature tensile test, the high temperature tensile test sample that has not been subjected to high temperature tensile test, and the impact test sample that has not been subjected to impact test are used for subsequent tests.

[0113] In order to comprehensively investigate the influence of irradiation on the performance of the tested sample, the performance of the sample after irradiation needs to be tested, so different size samples of different appearances need to be placed in the test tank, and the neutron irradiation dose of the samples in different positions may be different. In order to ensure that the neutron dose of the sample irradiation is the same, the samples need to be arranged in a specific order and space.

[0114] For example Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 The arrangement mode is shown in the figure, wherein the test tank comprises an outer tank body 1 and an inner tank body 2 arranged coaxially, and a sample mounting cavity is formed between the outer tank body 1 and the inner tank body 2. From bottom to top, the sample mounting cavity is sequentially provided with a bottom flange 3, a lower positioning block 4, a lower gasket 5, three layers of clamping blocks 6, an upper gasket 7, a spring 8, an upper positioning block 9 and a top flange 10. The samples are arranged in four layers in the sample mounting cavity. The first layer of samples 11 is arranged between the upper gasket 7 and the uppermost clamping block 6, the second layer of samples 12 is arranged between the uppermost clamping block 6 and the middle clamping block 6, the third layer of samples 13 is arranged between the middle clamping block 6 and the lowermost clamping block 6, and the fourth layer of samples 14 is arranged between the lowermost clamping block 6 and the lower gasket 5. The two ends of the spring 8 are respectively in abutment with the upper positioning block 9 and the upper gasket 7, so as to press and fix the samples in each layer (the upper gasket 7 and the uppermost clamping block 6 clamp the upper and lower ends of the first layer of samples 11, the uppermost clamping block 6 and the middle clamping block 6 clamp the upper and lower ends of the second layer of samples 12, the middle clamping block 6 and the lowermost clamping block 6 clamp the upper and lower ends of the third layer of samples 13, and the lowermost clamping block 6 and the lower gasket 5 clamp the upper and lower ends of the fourth layer of samples 14. It should be noted that Figure 6 In order to facilitate the display of the positional relationship between the components, the clamping block 6 is drawn as a plate with uniform thickness, but in fact the thickness of the clamping block 6 at each position is related to the length of the corresponding sample, so that it can be in abutment with the corresponding sample end), through the pressing force of the spring 8, the position of each sample relative to the test tank can be ensured not to change due to movement of the test tank.

[0115] In Figure 7 , the first layer of samples 11 and the fourth layer of samples 14 each comprise a first sample, a high-temperature tensile test sample, a room-temperature tensile test sample and a B-10 face density measurement sample. Since these samples are all plate-shaped, they are stacked on each other and arranged in four groups, two groups are arranged on the side facing the neutron incident direction (referring to the neutron incident direction when irradiation is performed, in Figure 7 , the neutron incident direction is from top to bottom), and the other two groups are arranged on the side facing away from the neutron incident direction. The stacked thickness of the two groups of samples on the side facing away from the neutron incident direction is smaller than that of the two groups of samples on the side facing the neutron incident direction, so as to ensure that each sample is uniformly irradiated; the specific number of stacks can be arranged according to actual needs.

[0116] InFigure 8 In the specific embodiment, the second layer sample 12 and the third layer sample 13 are both impact test samples, and the second layer sample 12 and the third layer sample 13 are both divided into two groups, one group is uniformly distributed on the side facing the neutron incident direction, and the other group is uniformly distributed on the side facing away from the neutron incident direction, and the number of samples uniformly distributed on the side facing the neutron incident direction is more than the number of samples uniformly distributed on the side facing away from the neutron incident direction, so as to ensure that each sample is uniformly irradiated; the specific number can be set according to actual needs.

[0117] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 , In some embodiments, see Figure 8 , the outer tank body 1 and the inner tank body 2 are connected by two radial connecting plates, and the two radial connecting plates divide the sample mounting cavity into a first mounting cavity on the side facing the neutron incident direction and a second mounting cavity on the side facing away from the neutron incident direction, and each layer of clamping block 6 includes two sub-clamping blocks located in the first mounting cavity and the second mounting cavity, respectively. Therefore, the samples on the side facing the neutron incident direction mentioned in the foregoing are arranged in the first mounting cavity, and the samples on the side facing away from the neutron incident direction are arranged in the second mounting cavity.

[0118] Preferably, step A5 comprises:

[0119] calculating the irradiation time;

[0120] irradiating the test tank according to the irradiation time.

[0121] In order to more truly test the influence of neutron irradiation on the performance of the neutron absorbing material, the test tank is placed in the reactor for neutron irradiation. The irradiation time is an irradiation parameter that needs to be focused on, and can be calculated according to the target neutron fluence and fluence rate, and the specific calculation method is prior art, which will not be described here. Among them, the target neutron fluence and fluence rate here mainly refer to the fast neutron (E≥1.0 MeV) fluence target value and the fast neutron (E≥1.0 MeV) fluence rate, wherein the fast neutron (E≥1.0 MeV) fluence target value can be set according to actual needs, and is generally 1×10 15 n / cm 2 -3×10 19 n / cm 2 , and the fast neutron (E≥1.0 MeV) fluence rate can be obtained in advance through experiments.

[0122] After the irradiation time is calculated, the test tank is taken out after the duration of irradiation in the reactor reaches the irradiation time.

[0123] Wherein, a fast neutron detector can also be arranged in the test tank to detect the real fast neutron fluence, if the deviation between the real fast neutron fluence and the fast neutron fluence target value is too large (out of the pre-set tolerance range, which can be set according to actual needs), retest (steps A1-A7) is performed, and the irradiation time is adjusted according to the deviation between the real fast neutron fluence and the fast neutron fluence target value (for example, the real fast neutron fluence is divided by the irradiation time to obtain the average fluence rate, then the deviation is multiplied by -1 and divided by the average fluence rate to obtain the compensation time, and finally the recalculated irradiation time is added to the compensation time when retesting). Wherein, the neutron detector can be a high-purity (99.99% mass fraction) Fe, Cu, Ni, Ti wire, preferably 1mm in diameter, for example Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, at least one neutron detector 15 can be arranged at each layer of the sample (for example, one on the side facing the neutron incident direction and one on the side facing away from the neutron incident direction), which can be taken out of the test tank after irradiation for neutron activation analysis detection to obtain the real fast neutron fluence (the average of the fast neutron fluences measured by each neutron detector can be taken as the real fast neutron fluence).

[0124] In some preferred embodiments, step A5 further comprises:

[0125] During irradiation, protective gas is introduced into the test tank to adjust the temperature inside the test tank.

[0126] A temperature sensor can be arranged in the test tank to monitor the temperature inside the test tank in real time, when the detected temperature exceeds the pre-set range, protective gas is introduced into one end of the test tank and flows out from the other end of the test tank, and the flow rate of the protective gas is adjusted to keep the temperature inside the test tank within the pre-set range. The protective gas can be but is not limited to nitrogen, argon or helium.

That is, only when all the samples are tested qualified in the corresponding performance tests, it is finally determined that the neutron irradiation resistance performance of the neutron absorbing material to be tested is qualified, so as to ensure that the neutron absorbing material determined to be qualified in the neutron irradiation resistance performance can reliably meet the performance requirements of the neutron absorbing material during spent fuel storage and transportation.

[0150] In practical applications, in step A3, if it is detected that the unqualified rate of at least one of the B-10 area density measurement sample, the impact test sample, the room temperature tensile test sample and the high temperature tensile test sample exceeds a preset proportion threshold value (which can be set according to actual needs), it can be directly determined that the neutron irradiation resistance performance of the neutron absorbing material to be tested is unqualified, so that subsequent steps do not need to be executed. Here, the B-10 area density measurement sample is unqualified refers to that the B-10 area density of the B-10 area density measurement sample is less than a preset B-10 area density threshold value, the impact test sample is unqualified refers to that the impact work of the impact test sample at room temperature is less than a preset impact work threshold value; the room temperature tensile test sample is unqualified refers to that the tensile strength of the room temperature tensile test sample at room temperature is less than a preset first strength threshold value, or the elongation after fracture is less than a preset first elongation threshold value; the high temperature tensile test sample is unqualified refers to that the tensile strength of the high temperature tensile test sample at high temperature is less than a preset second strength threshold value, or the elongation after fracture is less than a preset second elongation threshold value.
