Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of separation of actinide elements and fission products, and in particular relates to a separation device and a separation method for trivalent actinide elements and rare earth fragment nuclides. Background Art

[0002] The radiochemical analysis of activation products and fission products in the spent fuel solution can determine the reactor burnup and neutron flux. The plutonium isotope Pu-241 has a half-life of 14.29 years. It undergoes radioactive decay to produce the daughter Am-241 with a half-life of 432.2 years. Under the action of neutrons, it undergoes an activation reaction to produce the decay product Cm-242 (half-life 163 days). By analyzing and measuring the americium curium isotope, information such as neutron flux can be obtained. Fissionable nuclides such as uranium and plutonium undergo fission reactions under the action of neutrons, producing hundreds of radioactive fission products. Among them, rare earth fragment nuclides such as Ce-141 (half-life 32.4 days) and Ce-144 (half-life 284 days), Nd-147 (half-life 11.1 days), Sm-153 (half-life 46.8 hours), Eu-155 (half-life 4.96 years) and Eu-156 (15.2 days), terbium fission product Tb-161 (half-life 6.91 days), etc., have half-lives ranging from tens of hours to several years, which are suitable for long-term monitoring and analysis. Moreover, their fission yields cover a wide range, from extremely low Tb-161 (9.2×10 -5 %) to Ce-141 with high yield (5.98%), becoming the fission product of key concern in reactor burnup monitoring analysis and fission yield determination.

[0003] The measurement of americium and curium isotopes usually adopts semiconductor α-spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. However, due to the relatively low energy resolution of semiconductor α-spectrometer, the Cm-242 energy spectrum peak 6.113MeV causes strong peak tailing interference to the Am-241 energy spectrum peak 5.485MeV; there is isotopic interference of Cm-242 in the mass spectrometry measurement of Am-242m. In order to achieve accurate measurement and analysis of americium and curium isotopes, it is necessary to solve the problem of mutual separation between americium and curium isotopes. The γ-radioactive fission products of rare earth fragment nuclides Ce-141, Ce-144, Nd-147, Sm-153, Eu-155, Eu-156, Tb-161, etc., each nuclide will produce multiple γ-rays, and there are different degrees of repeated peaks and cross-peak interferences in the activity measurement of the trap-type high-purity germanium γ-spectrometer. In addition, the uranium-plutonium fission process also produces a large number of other fission products with rich gamma rays, such as Mo-99, Tc-99m, Te-132, Ru-103, I-131, I-132, Ba-140, La-140, Zr-95, Nb-95, etc., which lead to serious interference of Compton plateau and spectrum peak, affecting the accurate measurement of low-activity nuclides. Therefore, it is necessary to separate and prepare radiochemically pure rare earth fragment nuclide measurement sources for analysis and determination.

[0004] Perna et al., Studies on simultaneous separation and determination of lanthanides and actinides by ion chromatography inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry combined with isotope dilution mass spectrometry. J. Anal At. Spectrom., 2002, 17: 1166-1171, reported a method of using mixed bed (Dionex CS5A) ion chromatography to simultaneously separate and purify actinide elements uranium, plutonium, americium and lanthanide fission products (cerium, neodymium, samarium, europium, etc.) from spent fuel samples, and determined their contents by isotope dilution mass spectrometry. However, this separation method can only meet the measurement of stable lanthanide fission products (Ce-140, Nd-143, Nd-146, Sm-150, Eu-153, etc.), and failed to solve the problem of separating γ-radioactive lanthanide fission products from other interfering nuclides, nor did it involve the separation of americium and curium.

[0005] Modolo et al., Demonstration of the LUCA process for the separation of americium (III) from curium (III), californium (III), and lanthanides (III) in acidic solution using a synergistic mixture of bis (chrophenyl) dithiophosphinic acid and tris (2-ethylhexyl) phosphate. Radiochim. Acta, 2010. 98: 193-201., reported the selective separation of trivalent americium, trivalent curium and rare earth element europium from acidic solution using multiple centrifugal extractors through a liquid-liquid extraction process of 7-stage extraction, 9-stage washing and 8-stage stripping. However, the separation problem of other rare earth fragments was not mentioned, and the method required expensive experimental equipment and complicated process, and was not suitable for the analysis of laboratory samples.

[0006] Arrigo et al. reported the use of UTEVA-TRU-LN resin chromatography to separate and extract γ-radioactive lanthanide fission products (Ce-144, Sm-153, Eu-156, Tb-161, etc.) from mixed fission products of uranium irradiation in Separation of lanthanide isotopes from mixed fission product samples. Separations., 2021, 8:104-114 for their cumulative fission yield measurement. However, the recovery rate of low-yield nuclide Eu-156 was not high (56%), and the decontamination factor for high-yield nuclide Nd-147 was less than 3.8×10 3 The separation and decontamination of lanthanide fission products from each other and other fission products is not thorough enough, resulting in a large uncertainty in yield determination (10.9% to 22.7%). This method cannot meet the technical requirements for high-precision testing and analysis of americium curium and rare earth fragment nuclides. Summary of the invention
