Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of temperature acquisition and control, and in particular relates to an automatic decontamination device and method for a steam generator. Background Art

[0002] A steam generator, also known as a steam heat source machine or commonly known as a boiler, is a device that produces steam. It uses fuel or other energy to heat water into hot water or steam to meet the steam needs of many industries such as food, textiles, and industry. The core principle is to convert water into high-temperature and high-pressure steam by heating water. Its overall structure consists of two major parts: the boiler body and auxiliary equipment. Generally speaking, a steam generator contains a water tank, a heater, and a steam outlet. When the water in the water tank is heated to boiling point by the heater, the water begins to evaporate to form steam. As the heating process continues, steam is continuously generated and transported through the outlet to where it is needed.

[0003] During normal operation, the lower water chamber of the steam generator belongs to the primary circuit of the nuclear reactor, and the working medium is the primary circuit coolant. As the corrosion products in the primary circuit coolant of the reactor will be activated as the coolant flows through the core, it will carry radioactive nuclides with long half-lives such as Co-58, Co-60, Mn-54, and Fe-59. The coolant will transport the corrosion products to the primary side surface of the steam generator, forming a radiation source. Some of the radioactive substances may be gradually adsorbed in the lower water chamber of the steam generator due to corrosion deposition, ion exchange, etc., and accumulate to form a radioactive source or radiation hotspot.

[0004] The above-mentioned radiation sources have an adverse effect on steam generator equipment maintenance and other work. Radiation hot spots can lead to excessive local radiation doses, which not only increase the radiation dose of maintenance personnel, but also bring certain difficulties to the radiation control of nuclear power plants. According to statistics, the dose value contributed by steam generator maintenance work exceeds 40% of the total occupational radiation dose in nuclear power plants. To reduce the radiation exposure of steam generator maintenance personnel, it is necessary to reduce the content of corrosion products and radionuclides.

[0005] At present, mechanical decontamination, chemical decontamination and electrochemical decontamination are generally used to decontaminate the lower water chamber of the steam generator.

[0006] Mechanical decontamination has a low decontamination factor, a long decontamination time, and a poor decontamination effect. Chemical decontamination has a high decontamination factor, but requires a large amount of chemicals and produces the most waste liquid. Electrochemical decontamination has a better effect and less radioactive waste, but the equipment cost is high, the technology is immature, and the reliability of use has yet to be verified.
