Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cooling flow channel monitoring, and in particular to a cooling flow channel blockage monitoring method, system and medium based on neutron noise signals. Background Art
[0002] The reactor lower grid plate is an important part of the nuclear power plant's internal components and an important channel for the flow of coolant in the nuclear power plant core. During the operation of the reactor, coolant scaling and foreign matter often cause blockage of the lower grid plate flow channel, resulting in local overheating. In severe cases, it can cause local boiling of the reactor core, impacting the reactor fuel assemblies and control rods, and threatening the safety of the reactor core.
[0003] Since the fuel assembly is located inside the reactor, the surrounding radioactive activity is high and the space is small, it is impossible to arrange vibration detectors inside the reactor to detect abnormal conditions of flow channel blockage. At the same time, the introduction of new detectors may further affect the flow distribution of the flow channel, introducing potential risks to core safety.
[0004] As an important means of measuring core power and thermal-hydraulic parameters, the self-powered detector acquires neutron noise signals (i.e., neutron flux fluctuation signals) that are sensitive not only to thermal-hydraulic phenomena (standing acoustic waves, coolant boiling, and the transport of temperature fluctuations at the coolant speed from the reactor inlet), but also to mechanical vibration phenomena (vibration of the pressure vessel, core basket, and fuel assembly). It can effectively analyze the flow in the core flow channel and locate the channel of abnormal flow, laying the foundation for subsequent core maintenance. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: since the fuel assembly is located in the reactor, the surrounding radioactive activity is high and the space is small, it is difficult to arrange vibration detectors in the reactor to detect the abnormal state of flow channel blockage. If a new detector is introduced, it may further affect the flow distribution of the flow channel, introducing potential risks to the safety of the core; the purpose of the present invention is to provide a cooling flow channel blockage monitoring method, system and medium based on neutron noise signals, by arranging multiple self-powered neutron detectors in the reactor, collecting neutron noise signal data measured by each powered neutron detector; and establishing a coolant flow distribution relationship based on the neutron noise signal data to obtain a core coolant flow distribution map; judging whether cooling flow channel blockage occurs according to the core coolant flow distribution map; solving the problem that the abnormal flow channel blockage in the reactor cannot be monitored, avoiding local overheating of the fuel assembly caused by flow channel blockage, and effectively ensuring the safety and reliability of the reactor core.
[0006] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0007] This solution provides a cooling channel blockage monitoring method based on neutron noise signals, including:
[0008] Multiple self-powered neutron detectors are deployed in the reactor to collect neutron noise signal data measured by the self-powered neutron detectors;
[0009] Preprocessing the neutron noise signal data;
[0010] Calculating the flow rate of the reactor coolant based on the preprocessed neutron noise signal data to establish a coolant flow distribution relationship, and establishing a core coolant flow distribution map based on the coolant flow distribution relationship;
[0011] Determine whether the cooling channel is blocked based on the core coolant flow distribution diagram.
[0012] Working principle of this scheme: Since the fuel assembly is located inside the reactor, the surrounding radioactive activity is high and the space is small, it is difficult to arrange vibration detectors inside the reactor to detect abnormal conditions of flow channel blockage. If new detectors are introduced, it may further affect the flow distribution of the flow channel, introducing potential risks to the safety of the core. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cooling flow channel blockage monitoring method, system and medium based on neutron noise signals, and to improve the method on the basis of traditional cooling flow channel blockage monitoring technology. This scheme arranges multiple self-powered neutron detectors in the reactor to collect neutron noise signal data measured by each powered neutron detector; and establishes a coolant flow distribution relationship based on the neutron noise signal data to obtain a core coolant flow distribution map; determines whether cooling flow channel blockage occurs according to the core coolant flow distribution map; solves the problem that abnormal flow channel blockage in the reactor cannot be monitored, avoids local overheating of fuel assemblies caused by flow channel blockage, and effectively ensures the safety and reliability of the reactor core.
[0013] Traditional methods for determining abnormal conditions in reactor cooling channel blockage primarily rely on collecting channel temperature data and analyzing it to identify channel anomalies. However, since temperature sensors not only collect channel temperature but also overlay data from other operating equipment near the channel, this analysis of channel anomalies based on temperature data presents certain accuracy issues. Furthermore, in actual operation, the complex curvature of the channel structure makes it difficult to evenly position temperature sensors, resulting in certain accuracy issues. This solution employs multiple self-powered neutron detectors within the reactor to collect neutron noise signal data from each detector. Based on this neutron noise signal data, a coolant flow distribution relationship is established to generate a core coolant flow distribution map. This map is then used to determine whether cooling channel blockage has occurred, addressing the issue of in-core channel blockage anomalies. Traditional methods for determining local channel blockage based on temperature utilize temperature probes placed within the core. When channel blockage occurs, the local temperature rises, and this method can only provide qualitative observations when the blockage is severe. Compared with traditional temperature determination, the method proposed in the present invention can directly calculate the local flow velocity and directly obtain the core flow quantitatively. It can capture information in time when early flow channel blockage occurs, providing guidance for subsequent maintenance.

The exemplary embodiments of the present invention and their descriptions are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0056] Because the fuel assembly is located inside the reactor, the surrounding radioactivity is high, and the space is limited, it is difficult to arrange vibration detectors inside the reactor to detect abnormal conditions such as flow channel blockage. If new detectors are introduced, the flow distribution of the flow channel may be further affected, introducing potential risks to the safety of the core.

Finally, the normal flow channel and the blocked flow channel are distinguished and displayed in the core coolant flow distribution diagram.
[0089] The traditional method for judging the abnormal state of reactor cooling flow channel blockage mainly collects the temperature data of the flow channel and analyzes the temperature data to judge the abnormality of the flow channel. However, on the one hand, in addition to collecting the temperature of the flow channel, the temperature sensor also superimposes the data of other operating equipment near the flow channel, resulting in certain accuracy problems in analyzing the abnormality of the flow channel based on temperature data. On the other hand, during actual operation, due to the complex and curved structure of the flow channel, the points of the temperature sensor are difficult to be evenly distributed, resulting in certain accuracy problems in analyzing the abnormality of the flow channel based on temperature data. This solution arranges multiple self-powered neutron detectors in the reactor to collect neutron noise signal data measured by each self-powered neutron detector; and establishes a coolant flow distribution relationship based on the neutron noise signal data to obtain a core coolant flow distribution map; determines whether the cooling flow channel is blocked according to the core coolant flow distribution map; solves the problem of the inability to monitor the abnormality of the flow channel blockage in the reactor; the traditional method of judging local flow channel blockage based on temperature is to use temperature probes arranged in the core. When the flow channel is blocked in the core, the local temperature rises. This method can only perform qualitative observations when the flow channel blockage is more serious. Compared with traditional temperature determination, the method proposed in the present invention can directly calculate the local flow velocity and directly obtain the core flow quantitatively. It can capture information in time when early flow channel blockage occurs, providing guidance for subsequent maintenance.
