Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of Monte Carlo particle transport calculation and radiation safety analysis technology in nuclear science, and particularly to a method and system for determining the shutdown dose rate of a nuclear facility. Background Technology

[0002] During the operation of nuclear facilities, components and materials are easily activated by radiation to produce radioactive nuclides. These radioactive nuclides may decay and emit photons. These photons penetrate the components and form a photon radiation field around the nuclear facility, posing a potential radioactive hazard to the environment and personnel. Radiation safety analysis needs to study and analyze the dose rate distribution of these photons on the surrounding environment during the operation of the nuclear facility and after the facility is suspended or shut down.

[0003] There are two main methods for calculating the shutdown dose rate: the rigorous two-step method and the direct one-step method. The drawback of the rigorous two-step method is that obtaining an accurate shutdown dose rate distribution requires a fine mesh generation, but processing a large number of meshes inevitably consumes a significant amount of time, reducing computational efficiency. The direct one-step method for calculating the decay photon dose rate after neutron irradiation can only handle the one-step decay process of some nuclides and cannot handle multi-step reactions and cascade decays. The incomplete consideration of the activation process leads to inaccurate calculation results, affecting subsequent processing. Summary of the Invention

In this model, multiple preset nuclides are determined according to the material of the nuclear facility, and the operating time of the nuclear facility is determined as the target irradiation duration.

[0007] S2. In the neutron transport model, S1 is executed once each time a collision occurs, and the generation rate of each photon for each secondary radionuclide is summed to obtain the total generation rate of all photons corresponding to each collision.

[0008] S3. Based on the ratio between the generation rate of each photon at each collision and the total generation rate at that collision, sample photons from all photons produced at each collision, use the total generation rate corresponding to each collision as the weight of the sampled photons corresponding to each collision, and perform photon transport calculation to group and count photons in the target area, and combine the photon flux-dose conversion factor to obtain the photon shutdown dose rate distribution in the target area.

[0025] S2. In the neutron transport model, S1 is executed once for each collision to sum the generation rate of each photon for each secondary radionuclide and obtain the total generation rate of all photons for each collision.

[0026] S3. Based on the ratio between the generation rate of each photon at each collision and the total generation rate at that collision, sample photons from all photons produced at each collision, use the total generation rate corresponding to each collision as the weight of the sampled photons corresponding to each collision, and perform photon transport calculation to group and count photons in the target area, and combine the photon flux-dose conversion factor to obtain the shutdown dose rate distribution of photons in the target area.

[0027] The target area can be set according to the actual situation, such as on the nuclear facility or in the area surrounding the nuclear facility.

Based on the target irradiation duration and the functional relationship between the irradiation duration, energy group, and production coefficient of each secondary radionuclide corresponding to the preset nuclide that collides, the production coefficient of each secondary radionuclide corresponding to the preset nuclide that collides is calculated. Combined with the neutron flux density at the collision point and the relevant decay data of each secondary radionuclide corresponding to the preset nuclide that collides, the production rate of each photon of each secondary radionuclide corresponding to the preset nuclide that collides is calculated. The decay data refers to the branching ratio, energy, half-life, and other data of nuclide decay, which can be directly obtained from the evaluation library.

[0030] Optionally, in the above technical solution, the process of obtaining the functional relationship between the irradiation duration, energy group, and production coefficient for each secondary radionuclide includes:

[0031] S01. Obtain the nucleon density of each secondary radionuclide produced by each preset nuclide under different preset irradiation durations and different preset energy groups, specifically:

[0032] Neutron activation calculations were performed on each preset nuclide to obtain the nucleon density of each secondary radionuclide produced by each preset nuclide under different preset irradiation durations and different preset energy groups.

[0033] S02. Based on the nucleon density of any secondary radionuclide produced under different preset irradiation durations and different preset energy groups, calculate the production coefficient of the secondary radionuclide under different irradiation durations and different energy groups. Based on the production coefficient of the secondary radionuclide under different irradiation durations and different energy groups, fit the functional relationship between the irradiation duration, energy group and production coefficient of the secondary radionuclide, until the functional relationship between the irradiation duration, energy group and production coefficient of each secondary radionuclide is obtained.

[0034] Specifically, this is achieved through S001 to S003:

[0035] S001. Before calculating neutron transport, the neutron energy is divided into N neutron energy groups according to the problem type.

[0036] S002. For all common nuclides, use the neutron energy groups divided in step S001 according to N different irradiation times t. nBy performing neutron activation calculations for each energy group, the density of secondary radioactive nuclide j produced by different nuclides i under neutron irradiation in different energy groups was obtained. Further calculations yielded the values ​​of different nuclides i under N different irradiation durations in the neutron energy group g. n The corresponding neutron flux density φ gn,0 The production coefficient C of radionuclide j produced under incident neutron irradiation j,i,gn (t n ):

[0037]

[0038] S003. Based on the production coefficients of radionuclide j under N different irradiation durations calculated in S002, fit the irradiation duration t of different nuclides i under arbitrary irradiation of incident neutrons in energy group gn. i The production coefficient of radionuclide j produced by irradiation is established, and the functional relationship is as follows:

[0039] C j,i,gn (t i ) = fit(C j,i,gn (t n ))

[0040] Specifically, this is achieved through S100 to S102:

[0041] S100. Sampling and generating all secondary radionuclides produced in each collision: At each collision, first sample the i-th pre-defined nuclide that occurred during the collision, and then use the functional relationship C... j,i,gn (t i ) = fit(C j,i,gn (t n The target irradiation duration t of the preset nuclide i is obtained. r The production coefficient C of the j-th secondary radionuclide j j,i,gn (t r The neutron flux density φ at the collision point is obtained using the collision estimation method. gn Then, after the target irradiation time t r Then, cool for a preset time t. c The nucleon density of the j-th secondary radionuclide j produced is ρ i,j,gn The following relationship exists:

[0042]

[0043] Where, λ j Let be the decay constant of radionuclide j;

[0044] S101. Calculate the generation rate of each photon for each secondary radionuclide corresponding to the preset nuclide in each collision:

[0045] For the j-th secondary radionuclide, it may emit photons of various energies, among which E k Let λ represent the energy of the k-th photon, where k is a positive integer, and let λ represent the decay constant of the j-th secondary radionuclide. j The branch ratio b to the energy of the emitted k-th photon k The nucleon density can be obtained by querying the relevant decay database of the j-th secondary radionuclide, and then ρ is given. i,j,gn The production rate I of the k-th photon emitted by the j-th secondary radionuclide j,k for:

[0046]

[0047] Where N0 is Avogadro's constant and M is the atomic weight of the nuclide.

[0048] S102. Calculate the total generation rate of all photons corresponding to each collision: Considering that a preset nuclide may produce multiple secondary radioactive nuclides under neutron irradiation, and each secondary radioactive nuclide may emit photons of multiple energies, the total generation rate I of the photons produced by the i-th preset nuclide at the collision point under the target irradiation duration is... i for:

[0049]

[0050] S103. Based on the ratio between the generation rate of each photon at each collision and the total generation rate at that collision, sample photons from all photons produced at each collision, use the total generation rate corresponding to each collision as the weight of the sampled photons corresponding to each collision, and perform photon transport calculation to group and count photons in the target area, and combine the photon flux-dose conversion factor to obtain the shutdown dose rate distribution of photons in the target area.

[0051] Optionally, the above technical solution also includes:

[0052] S4. Assess the photon shutdown dose rate distribution in the target area to determine whether a protective alert should be issued. Specifically:

[0053] 1) Based on the calculated shutdown dose rate, assess whether maintenance personnel can immediately enter for maintenance, and the duration of their stay;

[0054] 2) Based on the calculated shutdown dose rate, assess whether the surrounding environment meets the radiation protection requirements. If it does not meet the radiation protection requirements, determine what radiation protection measures need to be adopted.

[0055] 2) Based on the calculated shutdown dose rate, set the cooling time of the nuclear facility appropriately.

[0056] The present invention will now be described through another embodiment, which specifically includes:

[0057] S1000. Before the neutron transport calculation, the neutron energy from 0 to 20 MeV is divided into 172 neutron energy groups according to the problem type. Neutron activation calculations are then performed for each of the 172 neutron energy groups for all common nuclides under different irradiation times (10 s, 100 s, 1000 s, 104 s, 105 s, 106 s, 107 s, 108 s, 109 s, 1010 s) to obtain the production coefficients of secondary radionuclides for different nuclides under neutron irradiation in different energy groups.

[0058]

[0059] in, The density of secondary radioactive nuclide j produced by different nuclides i under neutron irradiation in different energy groups. ρ i,0 Density of nuclide i; φ gn,0 Let be the neutron flux density of the gn-th group.

[0060] S1001. Based on the above calculation results, the arbitrary irradiation time t of different nuclides i under incident neutrons in energy group gn is fitted. i The production coefficient of radionuclide j produced by irradiation was determined, and a database was established.

[0061] C j,i,gn (t i ) = fit(C j,i,gn (t n ))

[0062] During neutron transport, at each collision, the initial nuclide i is sampled, and the irradiation duration t of nuclide i is obtained by interpolation from a database. r The production coefficient C of radionuclide j j,i,gn (t r The neutron flux density φ at the collision point is estimated from the collision data. gn Then after irradiation time t r Recooling time t c The nucleon density of the secondary radionuclide j produced is ρ i,j,gn The following relationship exists:

[0063]

[0064] Where, λ j Let be the decay constant of radionuclide j.

[0065] S1002. For a radioactive nuclide j, it may emit photons of various energies. Its decay constant λj and the branching ratio bk of the emitted photon with energy Ek can be obtained by querying relevant decay databases. Then the nuclide density is ρ. i,j,g The production rate of decay photons with energy Ek emitted by radioactive nuclide j is:

[0066]

[0067] Where N0 is Avogadro's constant and M is the atomic weight of the nuclide.

[0068] S1003. Considering that an initial nuclide may produce multiple radioactive nuclides under neutron irradiation, and each radioactive nuclide may emit photons of multiple energies, the total probability that nuclide i at the collision point will produce photons under a given irradiation scheme is:

[0069]

[0070] Based on the total probability of photons being generated in each collision, photons are generated by sampling using the source sampling method: first, the energy of the generated photons is sampled according to the generation probability of each type of photon, and then the total probability of photons being generated in each collision is assigned to the weight of the sampled photons.

[0071] After obtaining the decay photon source through each collision sampling, photon transport calculations are performed directly. Photons are grouped and counted in the target region, and the photon dose rate distribution in the target region is obtained by combining the corresponding photon flux-dose conversion factor.
