Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Radiochemical analysis of activation and fission products in spent fuel solutions can determine reactor burnup and neutron flux. The plutonium isotope Pu-241 has a half-life of 14.29 years and undergoes radioactive decay to produce the daughter Am-241 with a half-life of 432.2 years. Neutrons activate Am-241, which then decays into Cm-242 (half-life of 163 days). Analysis and measurement of americium-curium isotopes can provide information on neutron flux. Fissile 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, making them 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 a high yield (5.98%), becoming the fission product of focus in reactor burnup monitoring analysis and fission yield determination.

[0003] Americium and curium isotopes are typically measured using semiconductor alpha spectrometry and mass spectrometry. However, due to the relatively low energy resolution of semiconductor alpha spectrometers, the Cm-242 peak at 6.113 MeV causes strong peak tailing interference on the Am-241 peak at 5.485 MeV. Furthermore, mass spectrometry results in interference from Cm-242 isotopes in Am-242m. Accurate measurement and analysis of americium and curium isotopes requires resolving the mutual separation of americium and curium isotopes. Gamma-ray fission products of rare earth fragments, such as Ce-141, Ce-144, Nd-147, Sm-153, Eu-155, Eu-156, and Tb-161, each produce multiple gamma rays. Consequently, activity measurements using high-purity germanium trap-type gamma spectrometers can be subject to varying degrees of interference from repeated peaks and cross-peaks. Furthermore, the uranium-plutonium fission process produces a large number of other fission products that are rich in gamma rays, such as Mo-99, Tc-99m, Te-132, Ru-103, I-131, I-132, Ba-140, La-140, Zr-95, and Nb-95. These products cause significant interference with the Compton plateau and spectral peaks, affecting the accurate measurement of low-activity nuclides. Therefore, it is necessary to separate and prepare radiochemically pure rare earth fragments for measurement.

[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 the simultaneous separation and purification of actinides uranium, plutonium, and americium from spent fuel samples using mixed-bed ion chromatography (Dionex CS5A), and the determination of their contents by isotope dilution mass spectrometry. However, this separation method was only sufficient for the measurement of stable lanthanide fission products (Ce-140, Nd-143, Nd-146, Sm-150, Eu-153, etc.), failing to resolve the separation of gamma-radioactive lanthanide fission products from other interfering nuclides, nor did it address the separation of americium from 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 the rare earth element europium from an acidic solution using a liquid-liquid extraction process comprising seven extraction stages, nine washing stages, and eight stripping stages using multiple centrifugal extractors. However, the separation of other rare earth fragments was not mentioned. Furthermore, the method required expensive experimental equipment and a complex process, making it unsuitable for analysis of laboratory samples.

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