[0002] A large amount of low-level radioactive materials are generated during the operation of nuclear power plants. Before the final disposal of radioactive materials, the activity of radioactive materials must be reconstructed by detecting the gamma (γ) rays released by the radioactive materials themselves, or detecting the radioactive energy generated by external nuclear reactions to stimulate the radioactive materials.

[0027] See also Figure 1 The present application embodiment provides a method for obtaining the activity of a radioactive material, comprising:

[0031] Step S104: determining the activity of the radioactive material in the radioactive material container according to the efficiency calibration data of the radioactive material container.
[0032] The embodiments of the present application provide a method and product for obtaining the activity of radioactive materials. By using multiple muons to perform scattering imaging scanning on a radioactive material container, muon scanning information of the radioactive material container is obtained, and the density distribution data of the radioactive material in the radioactive material container is determined based on the muon scanning information. On the one hand, the method makes full use of the high energy and strong penetration of muons, and is a natural non-destructive elementary particle "probe" that can image and non-destructively detect objects. On the other hand, the method makes full use of the scattering imaging scanning to reconstruct the track of muons before and after penetrating the object, and has the characteristics of high imaging accuracy, and can accurately determine the density distribution of radioactive materials in the radioactive material container. Further, based on the density distribution data of the radioactive material in the radioactive material container, the radioactive material container is efficiency calibrated, and the activity of the radioactive material in the radioactive material container is determined, which can improve the accuracy of the efficiency calibration of the radioactive material container and the accuracy of determining the activity of the radioactive material.
[0033] The muon scanning information in the above step S101 may include, but is not limited to, a first track of each muon of the plurality of muons emitted into the radioactive material container detected by the first detector, a second track of each muon emitted from the radioactive material container detected by the second detector, or an image of the radioactive material in the radioactive material container.
[0034] Muons mainly come from cosmic rays and accelerators. In actual implementation, a first detector and a second detector can be placed on opposite sides of a radioactive material container. Muons will first pass through the first detector, then penetrate the radioactive waste container, and then pass through the second detector. The first detector can detect the first track of each muon of multiple muons entering the radioactive material container, and the second detector can detect the second track of each muon emitted from the radioactive material container. In addition, in the process of penetrating the radioactive material container, some muons will collide with the radioactive material in the radioactive material container and scatter, so that there is an angle difference between the first track and the second track of some muons. This angle difference can also be called a scattering angle. The scattering angle of each muon can be used to perform scattering imaging of the radioactive material container and determine the image of the radioactive material in the radioactive material container.
[0035] In one embodiment, the above step S102: determining the density distribution data of the radioactive material in the radioactive material container according to the muon scanning information includes:
[0036] The image of the radioactive material in the radioactive material container is analyzed to determine the density distribution data of the radioactive material in the radioactive material container.
[0037] The embodiment of the present application analyzes the radioactive material image obtained by performing a scattering imaging scan on the radioactive material container to determine the density distribution data of the radioactive material in the radioactive material container, thereby improving the accuracy of the radioactive material density distribution data, and further improving the accuracy of efficiency calibration of the radioactive material container based on the radioactive material density distribution data, as well as the accuracy of determining the activity of the radioactive material in the radioactive material container based on the efficiency calibration of the radioactive material container.
[0038] Optionally, the intersection of the first trajectory of each muon injected into the radioactive material container and the radioactive material container is the incident point of each muon on the radioactive material container, and the intersection of the second trajectory of each muon emitted from the radioactive material container and the radioactive material container is the exit point of each muon on the radioactive material container.
[0039] In another embodiment, the above step S102: determining the density distribution data of the radioactive material in the radioactive material container according to the muon scanning information includes:
[0040] The midpoint of the common perpendicular line between the first track and the second track of each muon is determined as the scattering point of each muon in the radioactive material container;
[0041] Based on the incident point and the exit point of each muon on the radioactive material container and the scattering point of each muon in the radioactive material container, the track of each muon passing through the radioactive material container is determined;
[0042] Divide the radioactive material container into multiple space units;
[0043] Determining target track count values of the plurality of spatial units according to the distances between the tracks of the muons passing through the radioactive material container and the plurality of spatial units;
[0044] The density distribution data of the radioactive material in the radioactive material container is determined according to the target track count values of the plurality of space units, the volume and the mass of the radioactive material container.
[0045] Optionally, the trajectory of each muon passing through the radioactive material container includes an incident trajectory and an exit trajectory of each muon, wherein the incident trajectory of each muon is a straight line connecting the incident point of each muon on the radioactive material container and the scattering point of each muon in the radioactive material container, and the exit trajectory of each muon is a straight line connecting the exit point of each muon on the radioactive material container and the scattering point of each muon in the radioactive material container. Figure 2 As shown, the incident track of the muon μ (straight line L1) is obtained by connecting the incident point a of the muon μ on the radioactive material container and the scattering point b of the muon μ in the radioactive material container, and the exit track of the muon μ (straight line L2) is obtained by connecting the exit point c of the muon μ on the radioactive material container and the scattering point b of the muon μ in the radioactive material container.
[0046] Optionally, based on the three-dimensional shape of the radioactive material container, the radioactive material container can be divided into multiple space units of corresponding shapes. For example, if the three-dimensional shape of the radioactive material container is a cube, the radioactive material container can be divided into multiple cube space units. If the three-dimensional shape of the radioactive material container is a sphere, the radioactive material container can be divided into multiple spherical space units.
[0047] The embodiment of the present application divides the radioactive material container into multiple spatial units, and determines the target track count values of the multiple spatial units based on the distance between the track of each muon passing through the radioactive material container and the multiple spatial units. This can refine the density distribution of the radioactive material in the radioactive material container to the spatial unit dimension, and further obtain accurate radioactive material density distribution data based on the target track count values of the multiple spatial units, thereby improving the accuracy of efficiency calibration of the radioactive material container based on the radioactive material density distribution data, and the accuracy of determining the activity of the radioactive material in the radioactive material container based on the efficiency calibration of the radioactive material container.
[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, the above method of determining target track count values of multiple space units based on the distances between the tracks of each muon passing through the radioactive material container and the multiple space units includes:
[0049] Step S201: Based on the i-th time length, select the i-th time period from the time period during which the first detector detects each muon injected into the radioactive material container. 1 Time period and i 2 time period; among them, the i 1 Time period and i 2 The time periods are continuous and the duration is the length of the i-th time period;
[0050] Step S202: According to the i 1 The distance between the track of each muon passing through the radioactive material container and multiple space units in the time period is determined to determine the i-th space unit of the multiple space units. 1 Track count value;
[0051] Step S203: According to the i 2 The distance between the track of each muon passing through the radioactive material container and multiple space units in the time period is determined to determine the i-th space unit of the multiple space units. 2 Track count value;
[0052] Step S204: Obtain the i-th 1 The track count value and the i-th 2 The error of the track count value;
[0053] Step S205: Determine the i-th spatial unit 1 The track count value and the i-th 2 Whether the errors of the track count values are within the preset range;
[0054] If the i-th of multiple spatial units 1 The track count value and the i-th 2 If the error of the track count value is within the preset range, step S206 is executed: the i-th track count value of the plurality of spatial units is 1 The track count value or the i-th 2 track count values as target track count values of multiple space units;
[0055] If the i-th of multiple spatial units 1 The track count value and the i-th 2 If any of the errors of the track count values does not meet the preset range, step S207 is executed: i is updated to i+1, and the process returns to step S201.
[0056] For example, the i-th time length = 5 minutes, the time period during which the first detector detects each muon injected into the radioactive material container is 8:00-8:30, and the i-th time length is selected. 1 The time period is 8:00-8:05, and the i-th 2 The time period is 8:05-8:10. 1The distance between the track of each muon passing through the radioactive material container and multiple spatial units of the radioactive material container during the time period is determined to determine the i-th spatial unit of the multiple spatial units. 1 track count values, and based on the i-th 2 The distance between the track of each muon passing through the radioactive material container and multiple spatial units of the radioactive material container during the time period is determined to determine the i-th spatial unit of the multiple spatial units. 2 For each of the multiple spatial units, count the i-th track count value. 1 The track count value and the i-th 2 The error of the track count value is obtained by calculating the i-th track count value of each spatial unit in the multiple spatial units. 1 The track count value and the i-th 2 The error of the track count value.
[0057] If the i-th spatial unit of each spatial unit in the plurality of spatial units 1 The track count value and the i-th 2 If the error of each track count value meets the preset range (e.g., -10% ≤ error ≤ 10%), it can be considered that the effective muon events for scattering imaging scanning of the radioactive material container using multiple muons have reached a sufficient amount, and the i-th track count of each of the multiple space units can be 1 The track count value or the i-th 2 The track count values are used as the target track count values of each spatial unit. 1 The track count value and the i-th 2 If any error of the target track count value of any spatial unit does not meet the preset range (such as the target track count value of any spatial unit <-10%, or the target track count value of any spatial unit >10%), it can be considered that the effective muon event of using multiple muons to perform scattering imaging scanning on the radioactive material container is insufficient, and the next i+1 time length can be selected, such as the i+1 time length = 10 minutes, and based on the i+1 time length, the (i+1)th time length is selected from the time period of the first detector detecting each muon injected into the radioactive material container. 1 Time period, such as 8:00-8:05, and (i+2) 2 In a time period, such as 8:05-8:10, the above steps are repeated until sufficient effective muon events are achieved for scattering imaging scanning of the radioactive material container using multiple muons, and the track count value or track count value of each spatial unit in the multiple spatial units at this time is used as the target track count value of each spatial unit.
[0058] The embodiment of the present application can accurately determine the target track count value of each of the multiple spatial units by comparing the track count value errors in any two adjacent and equal time periods in the time period when the first detector detects each muon being injected into the radioactive material container, thereby improving the accuracy of determining the density distribution data of the radioactive material in the radioactive material container based on the target track count value of each of the multiple spatial units.
[0059] In one embodiment, the above step S202: according to the i 1 The distance between the track of each muon passing through the radioactive material container and multiple space units in the time period is determined to determine the i-th space unit of the multiple space units. 1 Track count values, or, the above step S203: according to the i-th 2 The distance between the track of each muon passing through the radioactive material container and multiple space units in the time period is determined to determine the i-th space unit of the multiple space units. 2 Track count values, including:
[0060] Get the i-th n The track of the 1st to mth muon passing through the radioactive material container in the time period, and the 1st to mth distance from the first spatial unit; where m is the i-th muon detected by the first detector n The total number of muons injected into the container of radioactive material during a period of time;
[0061] According to the relationship between the first distance to the mth distance and the distance threshold of the first spatial unit, the first track count value to the mth track count value of the first spatial unit are determined; wherein, if the rth distance of the first spatial unit is less than the distance threshold of the first spatial unit, the rth track count value of the first spatial unit is 1, 1≤r≤m; if the tth distance of the first spatial unit is greater than or equal to the distance threshold of the first spatial unit, the tth track count value of the first spatial unit is 0, 1≤t≤m;
[0062] The 1st track count value to the mth track count value of the first spatial unit are summed to determine the i-th track count value of the first spatial unit. n Track count value;
[0063] Among them, i n =i 1 or 2 , the first spatial unit is any spatial unit among the multiple spatial units.
[0064] Optionally, the distance threshold of the spatial unit can be flexibly selected according to the shape of the spatial unit. For example, if the spatial unit is a cube, the side length of the spatial unit can be selected as the distance threshold of the spatial unit. If the spatial unit is a sphere, the radius of the spatial unit can be selected as the distance threshold of the spatial unit.
[0065] For example, assuming that the i n The total number of muons injected into the radioactive material container during the time period is 10. First, obtain the i-th n The tracks of the 1st to 10th muons passing through the radioactive material container in the time period are the 1st distance to the 10th distance from the first spatial unit; then, according to the relationship between the 1st distance to the 10th distance and the distance threshold of the first spatial unit, the 1st track count value to the 10th track count value of the first spatial unit are determined, wherein, if the 1st distance to the 5th distance are all less than the distance threshold, and the 6th distance to the 10th distance are all greater than the distance threshold, then the 1st track count value to the 5th track count value of the first spatial unit are all 1, and the 6th track count value to the 10th track count value are all 0; finally, the 1st track count value to the 10th track count value of the first spatial unit are summed up respectively to obtain the i-th track count value of the first spatial unit. n The count value of each track is 5.
[0066] The embodiment of the present application compares the first n The relationship between the distance between the track of each muon passing through the radioactive material container and the first spatial unit in the time period and the distance threshold of the first spatial unit is used to determine multiple track count values of the first spatial unit, and then the multiple track count values of the first spatial unit are summed to obtain the i-th track count value of the first spatial unit. n The track count value can ensure that the i-th n Based on the accuracy of the track count value, the i-th n The efficiency of the track counting values can be improved, thereby ensuring the accuracy of determining the target track counting values of each spatial unit in multiple spatial units and determining the density distribution data of radioactive materials in radioactive material containers, and improving the efficiency of determining the target track counting values of each spatial unit in multiple spatial units and determining the density distribution data of radioactive materials in radioactive material containers.

[0072] If the mth muon is not the ith n The last muon injected into the radioactive material container within the time period, then execute step S305: update m to m+1, and return to execute step S301;
[0073] Among them, i n =i 1 or 2 , the second spatial unit is any spatial unit among the multiple spatial units, the initial value of m is 1, and the initial values of the current track count values of the multiple spatial units are equal.

[0083] Among them, D r represents the distance between the track of the target muon passing through the radioactive material container and the target space unit, min||a(z)-c|| represents the first distance from the center point of the target space unit to the incident track of the target muon, min||b(z)-c|| represents the second distance from the center point of the target space unit to the exit track of the target muon, a(z) represents the incident track of the target muon, b(z) represents the exit track of the target muon, z represents any point on the track of the target muon passing through the radioactive material container, and c represents the center point of the target space unit.

[0090] The total density of the radioactive material in the radioactive material container = (the weight of the radioactive material barrel filled with radioactive material - the weight of the empty radioactive material barrel) / the volume of the radioactive material barrel;
[0091] Furthermore, the density ratio of the radioactive material in the radioactive material container in the i-th space unit can be calculated by the following formula:
[0092] The density ratio of radioactive materials in the ith spatial unit = the target track count value of the ith spatial unit / the sum of the target track count values of multiple spatial units;
[0093] Furthermore, the density of radioactive materials in the i-th spatial unit can be calculated by the following formula:
[0094] The density distribution value of the radioactive material in the i-th spatial unit = the density proportion of the radioactive material in the i-th spatial unit × the total density of the radioactive material in the radioactive material container;
