Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of mechanized equipment for bridge construction, and in particular to an automatic treatment device for radioactive waste liquid and a construction method. Background Art

[0002] At present, the application of radioactive elements in military, energy, industry, agriculture, medicine and other scientific research has been very extensive. However, the amount of radioactive waste gas, waste liquid and solid waste generated in the entire development and utilization process is also increasing. Among the radioactive "three wastes", radioactive wastewater needs to be treated. In the medical field, radioactive wastewater refers to the wastewater discharged by hospitals after the application of nuclear elements for diagnosis or treatment. According to the concentration of radioactive wastewater contained in the wastewater, it is divided into high-level, medium-level and low-level radioactive wastewater. According to the type of radiation contained in the wastewater, it can also be divided into three types of radioactive wastewater: α, β and γ. Radioactive wastewater has the characteristics of many types and high concentrations of heavy metal elements, is radioactive, and is harmful to humans and animals. Therefore, radioactive wastewater must be properly treated to reduce the radioactivity of the wastewater to below the safety value specified by the state before it can be discharged into water bodies or urban sewers. According to the "Nuclear Medicine Radiation Protection and Safety Requirements" issued by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment in 2021, nuclear medicine workplaces should be equipped with trough-type or plug-flow radioactive waste liquid decay pools or special containers to collect radioactive waste liquid generated in the site and radioactive waste liquid generated by cleaning during emergency accidents. Radioactive liquid waste collected in decay pools or special containers should be stored until the discharge requirements are met.

[0003] At present, the most common way to store waste liquid is the radioactive decay pool, which can be divided into two types: trough type and plug flow type. Trough type decay pool: adopts multi-format intermittent discharge, generally four grids can be used, arranged in parallel, and the design volume of each grid is 50% of the total discharge volume of radioactive wastewater with 10 half-lives of the longest half-life isotope, that is, the amount of radioactive wastewater with 5 half-lives stored. A solenoid valve is installed on the water inlet pipe, and the effluent is discharged by submersible pump pressure. Each grid is designed with a liquid level line, and four grids are used in turn. When the waste liquid in the grid exceeds 10 half-lives, the corresponding submersible pump is started to discharge after the monitoring meets the standard. The advantages of the decay pool are strong impact resistance and stable and reliable effluent water quality. The disadvantages are that the decay pool has a large volume, occupies a large area, has a high cost, requires control valves and water pumps, and the control is relatively complex. Plug flow decay pool: The water inlet and outlet of this pool are continuous, and a diversion wall is installed in the pool, and plug flow discharge is carried out. The total design volume of the decay pool is the total discharge volume of radioactive wastewater of 10 half-lives of the longest half-life isotope. Each one adopts a diversion pipe, and the wastewater enters from the bottom of the pool and is discharged from the top to prevent short circuit and ensure the decay effect. The plug-flow decay pool has the advantages of small pool volume, small footprint, low cost, simple operation, no or little maintenance, etc. Its disadvantage is poor impact resistance. If a large amount of radioactive wastewater is discharged in a concentrated manner, when the radioactive substances in the wastewater increase, the wastewater has to be discharged before it decays to the allowable discharge concentration in the decay pool, which will cause radioactive pollution accidents. The above methods all require excavation of buildings to form ponds, which are not suitable for laboratories located in buildings. Taking phosphorus-32 as an example, the half-life of phosphorus-32 is about 14.3 days, so 10 half-lives require 143 days. In situations where the amount of nuclear medicine elements is large, the treatment of medical nuclear wastewater requires a large storage space, making the storage cost very high.
