Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This patent relates to the technical field of spent fuel post-processing analysis, specifically to a method for 99 Rapid analytical method for determination of Tc content. Background Art
[0002] In the process of recovering uranium and plutonium, 99 Tc is a high-yield, long-lived fragment nuclide in the nuclear fuel cycle with a long half-life (T 1 / 2 =2.1×10 5 a), high radioactivity, the presence of Tc will consume U(IV) and other reducing agents, affecting the reduction and stripping of plutonium. If mixed into the final uranium trioxide powder, its volatile properties will affect the uranium isotope enrichment process, so its technetium (Tc) content is an important control technical indicator. According to the requirements of the quality assurance system (technetium content is less than 3μgTc / gU), the Tc content needs to be accurately detected.
[0003] Therefore, the determination of uranium trioxide powder was established. 99 The analytical method of Tc content is of great significance and necessity for optimizing process parameters, improving sample quality, and ensuring the safety and health of workers.
[0004] In order to accurately measure 99 To determine the Tc content, Tc should first be separated from a large number of radioactive elements to remove the measurement interference of radionuclides. Common separation methods include volatilization, solvent extraction, chromatography, etc. The existing nuclear industry standard method uses 2,6-dimethylpyridine to extract Tc from an alkaline medium. The pre-treatment chemical separation process is complex, time-consuming, and has low analysis efficiency. The extraction agent treatment process is relatively complex and has a pungent odor. The analysis method needs to be optimized and improved to improve the analysis efficiency and safety and environmental protection.
[0005] At present, domestic and foreign 99 The main methods for measuring Tc content include spectrophotometry, Raman spectroscopy, radiochemistry, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-AES), mass spectrometry, etc. Self-absorption during radiochemical measurement will cause measurement difficulties. Liquid scintillation counting can use scintillators and the nuclides to be measured in a homogeneous solution, which effectively avoids the problem of self-absorption, but requires the use of special liquid scintillation liquid and the analysis time is also long (greater than 1h). Mass spectrometry instruments are expensive, diluents are not easy to obtain, the operation is complicated, and the measurement range is not suitable for the determination of trace technetium.
