Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of research on the release mechanism of fission products, and in particular relates to a device and a method for measuring the aerosol release fraction and rate at a lead-bismuth pile fuel breach. Background Art
[0002] When the reactor is in operation, the core fuel assembly will produce a large amount of radioactive fission products during the fission process. However, under the action of micro-abrasion, foreign body abrasion, chemical corrosion, irradiation creep and swelling, and the high pressure of fission products in the fuel cladding, the fuel cladding may be damaged, thereby releasing fission products into the coolant. In addition to the common fission gases, the fission products released from the breach also include non-gaseous fission products such as solid fission products and liquid fission products. In the program calculation, liquid and solid fission products are generally simulated by aerosol particles. At present, in the process of conducting the source term analysis of the lead-bismuth reactor mechanism, the aerosol fraction released from the breach is assumed to have an assumed value, which introduces uncertainty into the source term calculation results. Therefore, it is urgent to conduct relevant experimental research on the complex physical process of the release of fission products from fuel elements to liquid lead-bismuth alloy coolant in the lead-bismuth fast reactor to obtain the key parameters of the fission product migration process, such as the gas release rate and the total release fraction of the aerosol after the release, so as to provide support for model development and source term analysis calculation.

[0051] Example 1
[0052] Before starting use, assemble the entire device and check it to ensure that all systems are working properly, all connections are well sealed, there is no obvious damage or leakage, and the gas supply meets the experimental needs.
[0053] After the whole device is assembled, the simulated fuel rod rupture 4-3 is sealed by applying a tightening force to the rupture sealing device 4, the corresponding valve of the gas bypass of the aerosol injection section is opened, and gas is injected into the simulated fuel rod 3. The gas injection is terminated after observing the pressure gauge 3-8 to the specified pressure of the working condition. Let it stand for a sufficient time and continue to observe the reading of the pressure gauge 3-8. If the reading decreases significantly, the simulated fuel rod needs to be reassembled and sealed. If the reading is basically stable at the set working condition, it means that the simulated fuel rod has good airtightness and meets the requirements of subsequent experiments.
[0054] A certain amount of aerosol powder 2-7 is placed in the aerosol mixing device 2 and the device motor 2-5 is turned on. After the powder transported by the rotating screw 2-1 is stable, the high-pressure gas tank 1 and the gas tank pressure regulating valve 7 are opened to inject gas into the mixing device 2 at a specified pressure. At this time, the stable bypass pressure regulating valve 8 is opened to discharge the aerosol outward through the aerosol stable bypass. After a certain period of time, the pre-measurement channel valve 6-3 is opened to absorb the aerosol in the aerosol stable bypass through the measuring channel 6-2 to measure the aerosol concentration at different times. After the aerosol concentration is stable, the stable bypass pressure regulating valve 8 is closed to connect the injection section to the simulated fuel rod, and the aerosol is injected into the simulated fuel rod 3 to the specified pressure.
[0055] After the aerosol injection is completed, the entire device is left to stand for a long enough time to ensure that the aerosol in the simulated fuel rod can be fully deposited, the pressure regulating valve 9 on the simulated fuel rod 3 is opened, a small amount of gas in the simulated fuel rod 3 is discharged through the sampling port 3-7, and then the fuel rod sampling pressure regulating valve 9 is closed, and the particle size spectrometer 6 is turned on to absorb a small amount of sample through the measurement channel 6-4 in the cladding for measurement.
[0056] The breach 4-3 is opened by the breach sealing device 4, and the gas begins to be released. When the fuel rod pressure gauge 3-8 shows a substantially stable atmospheric pressure, the gas release is finished, and the particle size spectrometer 6 is turned on to absorb a certain amount of sample gas in the collecting device 5 through the collecting device measurement channel 6-6 for measurement.
[0057] Clean the aerosol in the collection device 5, open the gas bypass to purge and clean the entire device, record and organize the experimental data, and obtain the change law of aerosol release ratio. According to the different working conditions set, change the working conditions and conduct the experiment in the same way.
[0058] Example 2
[0059] Before starting use, assemble the entire device and check it to ensure that all systems are working properly, all connections are well sealed, there is no obvious damage or leakage, and the gas supply meets the experimental needs.
[0060] After the whole device is assembled, the breach 3-5 of the simulated fuel rod is sealed by applying a tightening force to the breach sealing device 4, the corresponding valve of the gas bypass of the aerosol injection section is opened, and gas is injected into the simulated fuel rod 3. The fuel rod pressure gauge 3-8 is observed to terminate the gas injection after reaching the specified pressure of the working condition. The fuel rod pressure gauge 3-8 is left to stand for a sufficient time and the reading of the fuel rod pressure gauge 3-8 is continuously observed. If the reading decreases significantly, the simulated fuel rod needs to be reassembled and sealed. If the reading is basically stable at the set working condition, it indicates that the simulated fuel rod has good air tightness and meets the requirements of subsequent experiments.
[0061] Start the gas bypass of the aerosol injection section, inject gas into the simulated fuel rod 3 until the fuel rod pressure gauge 3-8 shows the specified operating pressure, and close the aerosol injection section.
[0062] Adjust the outlet pressure of the gas tank pressure regulating valve 7 according to the preset pressure, open the aerosol injection section again and operate the breach sealing device 4 to open the breach at the same time. Adjust the injection pressure of the gas tank pressure regulating valve 7 based on the fuel rod pressure gauge 3-8 reading being stable at the set working condition value to ensure that the fuel rod pressure gauge 3-8 reading remains unchanged. The flow meter reading of the aerosol injection section is the flow rate of the breach 3-5. After the specified injection time, close the aerosol injection section and the experiment ends.
[0063] Clean up the entire device, record and organize the experimental data, and obtain the law of gas release rate changes. According to the different working conditions set, change the working conditions and use the same method to explore the effects of different internal pressures and rupture sizes on gas release rate.

It should be understood that the above description is only a specific implementation method of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

A preset amount of aerosol powder (2-7) is placed in the aerosol mixing device (2) and the motor (2-5) is turned on. After the rotating screw (2-1) transports the powder to stabilize, the high-pressure gas tank (1) and the gas tank pressure regulating valve (7) are turned on to inject gas into the aerosol mixing device (2) at a specified pressure. At this time, the stabilizing bypass pressure regulating valve (8) is turned on to discharge the aerosol outward through the aerosol stabilizing bypass. After a preset time, the pre-measurement channel valve (6-3) is turned on to absorb the aerosol in the aerosol stabilizing bypass through the pre-measurement channel (6-2) to measure the aerosol concentration at different times. After the aerosol concentration stabilizes, the stabilizing bypass pressure regulating valve (8) is turned off to connect the aerosol mixing device (2) to the simulated fuel rod (3), and the aerosol is injected into the simulated fuel rod (3) to a specified pressure. After the aerosol injection is completed, the entire device is left to stand still to ensure that the aerosol in the simulated fuel rod (3) can be fully deposited, and after the gas in the simulated fuel rod (3) is sampled through the sampling port (3-7), the particle size spectrometer (6) is turned on to absorb the sample through the measurement channel (6-4) in the cladding for measurement; The breach (3-5) is opened by the breach sealing device (4), and the gas begins to be released. When the fuel rod pressure gauge (3-8) shows a stable atmospheric pressure, the gas release is completed, and the particle size spectrometer (6) is turned on to absorb the sample gas in the collection device (5) through the collection device measurement channel (6-6) for measurement; Clean the aerosol in the collection device (5), purge and clean the entire device, record and organize the experimental data, and obtain the change law of the aerosol release ratio; according to the different set working conditions, change the working conditions and conduct the experiment according to the same method; Conduct a steady-state experiment to explore the changing law of gas release rate: Before starting to use, assemble the entire device and check to ensure that all components are working properly, all connections are well sealed, there is no obvious damage or leakage, and the gas supply meets the experimental requirements; After the whole device is assembled, the breach (3-5) of the simulated fuel rod is sealed by applying a tightening force to the breach sealing device (4), the corresponding valve of the aerosol injection section is opened, gas is injected into the simulated fuel rod (3), and the fuel rod pressure gauge (3-8) is observed to terminate the gas injection after reaching the specified pressure of the working condition. The device is left to stand for a preset time and the reading of the fuel rod pressure gauge (3-8) is continuously observed. If the reading decreases significantly, the simulated fuel rod (3) needs to be reassembled and sealed. If the reading is stable at the set working condition, it indicates that the simulated fuel rod (3) has good airtightness and meets the requirements of subsequent experiments. Starting the gas bypass of the aerosol injection section, injecting gas into the simulated fuel rod (3) until the fuel rod pressure gauge (3-8) shows a specified operating pressure, and closing the aerosol injection section; The outlet pressure of the gas tank pressure regulating valve (7) is adjusted according to the preset pressure, the aerosol injection section is opened again and the breach sealing device (4) is operated at the same time to open the breach; the injection pressure of the gas tank pressure regulating valve (7) is adjusted based on the indication of the fuel rod pressure gauge (3-8) being stable at the set working condition value, so as to ensure that the indication of the fuel rod pressure gauge (3-8) remains unchanged, and the flow meter indication of the aerosol injection section is the flow rate of the breach (3-5); after the specified injection time, the aerosol injection section is closed and the experiment ends; Clean and organize the entire device, record and organize the experimental data, and obtain the changing law of gas release rate; according to the different set working conditions, change the working conditions, and use the same method to explore the effects of different internal pressures and rupture sizes on the gas release rate.
