Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of process radiation monitoring for marine pressurized water reactors, and more specifically, to a method and device for monitoring damage of fuel elements of marine pressurized water reactors. Background Art

[0002] Pressurized water reactors have thousands or even tens of thousands of fuel elements. It is inevitable that there are manufacturing process defects in the fuel element cladding when it leaves the factory; in addition, they work for a long time under many harsh conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, high radiation, corrosion, scouring, vibration, thermal stress, etc., and there is a possibility of damage. Once the fuel element cladding is damaged, a large amount of fission products will enter the primary coolant and quickly fill the entire circuit, which not only seriously deteriorates the water quality of the primary coolant, but also greatly increases the radioactivity level of the primary coolant. On the one hand, it will affect the safety of the reactor operation, and on the other hand, it will bring greater radiation safety risks to the operating and maintenance personnel. Therefore, continuous monitoring of the integrity of the fuel element cladding is one of the important measures that are indispensable to ensure the normal operation of the reactor and the radiation safety of personnel.

[0003] In practice, marine PWRs generally use the method of measuring the radioactivity level of the primary coolant to monitor the state of the fuel element cladding. When the radioactivity level of the primary coolant increases significantly, it is suspected that the fuel element cladding is damaged. However, in marine PWRs, due to the frequent changes in reactor power, it is difficult for the activated corrosion products with a slightly longer half-life in the primary coolant to reach an equilibrium state in a short period of time. Even if the fuel element cladding is not damaged, the radioactivity level of the primary coolant will change with the change of reactor power; the radiation detection device used to measure the primary coolant will also be corroded and contaminated by the primary coolant after long-term operation, resulting in an increase in the measurement background; in addition, the equipment currently used in the industry for measuring the radioactivity of the primary coolant is generally a scintillator detector, which has a low energy resolution (generally no more than 3%), can identify fewer typical fission product nuclides (generally 2-3) and has a large error. The above factors lead to a large number of false alarms in the current monitoring of the damage of the fuel element cladding of marine PWRs. Summary of the invention

[0046] The present application discloses a method for monitoring damage of a marine pressurized water reactor fuel element, which is a method for monitoring damage of a marine pressurized water reactor fuel element based on a dual sampling port γ spectrum partition comparison of a finite energy resolution detector. Figure 2 As shown, a sampling monitoring schematic diagram of the monitoring method provided by the present application is described. The two sampling ports take samples from the reactor primary circuit coolant before and after purification, respectively, and enter the second detection device 5 and the first detection device 6 for measurement after passing through the first solenoid valve 1 and the second solenoid valve 2, and then are discharged through the third solenoid valve 3 and the fourth solenoid valve 4.

[0052] The first detection device 6 and the second detection device 5 contain an analog or digital spectrum acquisition device for acquiring the first γ spectrum data and the second γ spectrum data. A NaI detector, a LaBr3 detector or other detectors are used as the first detection device 6 and the second detection device 5; a Co-60 radiation source is built into the first detection device 6 and the second detection device 5 as a peak-stabilizing built-in source, and the peak-stabilizing built-in source is used to generate the peak area corresponding to the 1.17MeV energy of Co-60 in the first γ spectrum data and the peak area corresponding to the 1.17MeV energy of Co-60 in the second γ spectrum data; the peak-stabilizing built-in source is inside the first detection device 6 and the second detection device 5, so that the first γ spectrum data and the second γ spectrum data acquired by the first detection device 6 and the second detection device 5 are stable. Other pipeline accessories such as flow meters and valves can also be added to the sampling pipeline system.

[0056] The gamma spectrum processing device 7 compares the first gamma spectrum analysis information with the second gamma spectrum analysis information to determine whether the fuel element cladding of the marine pressurized water reactor fuel element damage monitoring is damaged.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, the first gamma spectrum data measured by the first detection device 6 is named as gamma spectrum 1; the peak area corresponding to the 1.17 MeV energy of Co-60 in gamma spectrum 1 is named as gamma spectrum 1-1. The second gamma spectrum data measured by the second detection device 5 is named as gamma spectrum 2; the peak area corresponding to the 1.17 MeV energy of Co-60 in gamma spectrum 2 is named as gamma spectrum 2-1, and the peak area of ​​gamma spectrum 2-1 is multiplied by a correction coefficient k so that its peak area is the same as the peak area of ​​gamma spectrum 1-1, so that the determined correction coefficient k is used for the following operations. In the embodiment of the present application, the energy spectrum after deducting the 511keV energy peak area from the γ energy spectrum 1 is named as the γ energy spectrum 1-2, the energy spectrum after deducting the 511keV energy peak area from the γ energy spectrum 2 is named as the γ energy spectrum 2-2, the γ energy spectrum with energy of 450keV to 800keV in the γ energy spectrum 2-2 is multiplied by the correction coefficient k, and the corrected γ energy spectrum is named as the γ energy spectrum 2-3; the γ energy spectrum with energy of 450keV to 800keV in the γ energy spectrum 1-2 is named as the γ energy spectrum 1-3; the γ energy spectrum 2-3 is compared with the γ energy spectrum 1-3, when the γ energy spectrum 2-3 is greater than 10 times of the γ energy spectrum 1-3, it is considered that the fuel element cladding is damaged; when the γ energy spectrum 2-3 does not exceed 10 times of the γ energy spectrum 1-3, it is considered that the fuel element cladding is not damaged. At this time, the first γ energy spectrum analysis information can be the γ energy spectrum 1-3, and the second γ energy spectrum analysis information can be the γ energy spectrum 2-3.

The present application opens a first group of solenoid valves, and a first detection device 6 measures a sample after purification of the loop coolant, and sends the measured first γ spectrum data of the marine pressurized water reactor fuel element damage monitoring to a γ spectrum processing device 7; when the first detection device 6 sends an alarm signal, the second group of solenoid valves is opened, and the second detection device 5 measures the sample before purification of the loop coolant, and sends the measured second γ spectrum data of the marine pressurized water reactor fuel element damage monitoring to the γ spectrum processing device 7; the γ spectrum processing device 7 analyzes and processes the received first γ spectrum data and the second γ spectrum data to determine whether the fuel element cladding of the marine pressurized water reactor fuel element damage monitoring is damaged. The present application selects samples from the coolant after purification of the reactor's primary circuit for measurement during normal operation. It has been verified through experiments that the amount of corrosive radioactive substances is significantly reduced after purification, which can reduce the radioactive contamination of the sampling container of the fuel element cladding damage detection device; further, by significantly increasing the total gamma and comparing the gamma energy spectrum data before and after the purification of the primary circuit to determine whether the fuel element cladding is damaged, the frequency of false alarms can be significantly reduced.
