Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of composite laser decontamination methods, in particular to a composite laser decontamination method for radioactive decontamination of nuclear power plant components. Background Art
[0002] During the operation of a nuclear power plant, the corrosion products of structural materials and the primary coolant are activated by neutrons to form radioactive substances, which are transmitted, distributed, and deposited on the surfaces of the system's pipes, valves, and pumps. As the service time of a nuclear power plant increases, these radioactive substances accumulate day by day, leading to an increase in the system's radiation field and an increase in the radiation dose of the workers. Therefore, regular or irregular radioactive decontamination is required to ensure the safe operation of the power plant and reduce the collective radiation dose of the operating personnel. With the large-scale construction and operation of domestic nuclear power plants, more and more components will need to be decontaminated with radioactivity.
[0003] Laser decontamination is generally used in the prior art, but it is a single laser decontamination technology. The same laser is used to perform decontamination treatment on the body of the component to be decontaminated and the attachments on the body, which makes it difficult to achieve an ideal decontamination effect.
[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a composite laser decontamination method for radioactive decontamination of nuclear power plant components is proposed. Summary of the invention
[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a composite laser decontamination method for radioactive decontamination of nuclear power plant components, the decontamination steps comprising:
[0006] Step 1: Take the contaminated workpiece, scan the radioactivity and shape of the workpiece surface, and generate a workpiece contamination distribution map;
[0007] Step 2: Determine the degree of contamination based on the contamination distribution of the workpiece contamination distribution map;
[0008] Step 3: Check the surface adhesion of the workpiece, and select a high-efficiency nanosecond laser, ultra-high-energy nanosecond laser or high-efficiency picosecond laser to clean the workpiece according to the adhesion;
[0009] Step 4: Perform a second inspection on the cleaned workpiece for attachments. If attachments are still present, repeat step 1 until there are no attachments.
[0010] Preferably, the workpiece contamination distribution map in step 1 is a three-dimensional map generated by combining the workpiece shape and the radioactivity detected on the surface of the shape, and calculating the contamination degree.
[0011] Preferably, the contamination degree=(contaminated area / workpiece area)×100%.
[0012] Preferably, if the contamination area in the contamination distribution situation of the workpiece contamination distribution diagram in step 2 is greater than 50% of the entire workpiece area, it is determined to be severely contaminated and the entire workpiece is thoroughly cleaned; if the contamination area is less than 50% of the entire workpiece area, it is determined to be slightly contaminated and the entire workpiece is partially cleaned.
[0013] Preferably, in the step three, the thickness of the attachment on the surface of the workpiece is detected. If the thickness of the workpiece is ≤10mm, a high-efficiency nanosecond laser is selected to clean the surface of the workpiece. If the thickness of the workpiece is 10mm<the thickness of the workpiece≤13mm, an ultra-high-efficiency nanosecond laser is selected to clean the surface of the workpiece. If the thickness of the workpiece is 13mm<the thickness of the workpiece≤18mm, a high-efficiency nanosecond laser and a high-efficiency picosecond laser are selected to clean the surface of the workpiece. If the thickness of the workpiece is greater than 18mm, an ultra-high-efficiency nanosecond laser and a high-efficiency picosecond laser are selected to clean the surface of the workpiece.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention determines whether to perform comprehensive cleaning or partial cleaning on the workpiece by calculating the contamination degree of the workpiece, and then selects a laser combination method to clean the workpiece according to the thickness of the attachments on the workpiece surface until the attachments on the workpiece surface are cleaned up. Different laser decontamination methods are used for workpiece attachments with different contamination degrees and different thicknesses, thereby improving the decontamination effect and preventing waste of resources.
