Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nuclear power plant fuel assembly detection, and particularly to a multifunctional test and verification device for a full-size fuel assembly simulation body and a verification method thereof. Background Art

[0002] During the operation of a nuclear power plant, it is necessary to regularly conduct in-pool inspections on fuel assemblies to ensure their safety and reliability. Currently, before the in-pool inspection equipment for fuel assemblies is put into on-site use, a large amount of test and verification work needs to be carried out. However, due to the lack of a simulation body that is exactly the same as the actual fuel assembly in terms of structural dimensions, it is difficult to effectively carry out the equipment test and verification work, and the test steps and methods are not representative. In particular, there are great difficulties in precision inspections such as electromagnetic detection, visual detection, and high-precision sensor testing.

[0003] Existing test devices mostly simulate local structures and cannot reflect the actual characteristics of full-size fuel assemblies. There are deviations between the device dimensions and the actual fuel assemblies, affecting the accuracy of test results. The function modules of local simulation components are single, unable to meet diverse test requirements, lacking comprehensive test capabilities. Different types of tests require the use of different devices, increasing the test cost and time.

[0004] The existing means for testing and verifying fuel assemblies mainly rely on the use of local simulation components. However, this method has the following technical problems:

[0005] 1. The structure of the test and verification device is inconsistent with the actual fuel assembly dimensions: Existing test devices mostly simulate local structures and cannot reflect the actual whole process of detecting full-size fuel assemblies, resulting in the inability to effectively identify and solve problems such as structural interference and equipment cable joint obstruction that may occur during the detection process. There are deviations between the device dimensions and the actual fuel assemblies, and displacement errors are generated in the detection probe module, affecting the accuracy of test results. The material properties do not match those of the actual fuel assemblies, resulting in distorted test results such as electromagnetic detection.

[0006] 2. The function modules are single and cannot meet diverse test requirements: Existing devices are often designed for a single test function and lack comprehensive test capabilities. Different types of tests require the use of different devices, increasing the test cost and time. There is a lack of compatibility between test modules, making it difficult to conduct systematic tests at one time. Summary of the Invention

Thus, the features defined with "first", "second", "third", etc. can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0049] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , which is a multifunctional test and verification device for a full-size fuel assembly simulator in some embodiments of the present invention, used to provide test functions for a fuel assembly inspection system. The fuel assembly inspection system includes an outer oxide film measurement device, an inner oxide film measurement device, a rod diameter measurement device, and a video detection device. The multifunctional test and verification device for a full-size fuel assembly simulator includes a plurality of grid simulator members 1 and a tube body simulation mechanism 2. The plurality of grid simulator members 1 are arranged at intervals in the height direction, and the tube body simulation mechanism 2 is installed on the plurality of grid simulator members 1. The tube body simulation mechanism 2 includes a plurality of basic simulation tube substrates 21, at least one outer oxide film simulation tube assembly 22, at least one inner oxide film simulation tube assembly 23, at least one rod diameter test simulation tube assembly 24, at least one damaged test simulation tube substrate 25, and at least one video test simulation tube substrate 26.

[0050] The basic simulation tube base 21 is used to simulate the on-site basic fuel rod; the outer oxide film simulation tube assembly 22 is used to provide a test function for the outer oxide film measuring device; the inner oxide film simulation tube assembly 23 is used to provide a test function for the inner oxide film measuring device; the rod diameter test simulation tube assembly 24 is used to provide a test function for the rod diameter measuring device; the breakage test simulation tube base 25 is used to simulate the breakage of the fuel rod; the video test simulation tube base 26 is used to provide a test function for the video detection device.

[0051] Among them, both the outer oxide film measuring device and the inner oxide film measuring device are electromagnetic detection devices. The outer oxide film measuring device and the inner oxide film measuring device can measure the oxide film using an eddy current sensor. The principle of the eddy current sensor is based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, and various parameters are measured by detecting the eddy current in a metal conductor. When the sensor probe approaches the metal conductor, the alternating current in the probe generates an alternating magnetic field. This magnetic field induces an eddy current in the metal conductor, and the eddy current generates a reverse magnetic field, affecting the intensity of the original magnetic field. The measurement of the oxide film thickness utilizes the principle of electromagnetic induction of eddy currents. When a changing electromagnetic field acts near a conductor, an eddy current is generated in the conductor, and the magnitude of the eddy current changes with the distance between the changing electromagnetic field and the conductor. An eddy current sensor is used to detect the thickness of the oxide film. During measurement, the vertical component is selected as the measurement component. The oxide film measurement calibration block is used to calibrate the measurement curve of the oxide film measurement system, establishing the corresponding relationship between the vertical component of the eddy current signal and the oxide film thickness. After the reference is established, the thickness of the oxide film is measured, and the calibration is to make a corresponding relationship curve between the vertical component of the eddy current signal and the oxide film thickness.

[0052] Specifically, the basic simulation tube base 21, the outer oxide film simulation tube assembly 22, the inner oxide film simulation tube assembly 23, the rod diameter test simulation tube assembly 24, the breakage test simulation tube base 25, and the video test simulation tube base 26 are all installed on a plurality of grid simulation members 1. In this embodiment, the full-size fuel assembly simulation body multi-functional test and verification device uses a 12-foot full-size assembly, adopts a 17×17 square structure, the number of the grid simulation members 1 is 10, and the full-size fuel assembly simulation body multi-functional test and verification device further includes an upper tube seat simulation body 3 and a lower tube seat simulation body 4. A plurality of grid simulation members 1 and the tube body simulation mechanism 2 are all installed between the upper tube seat simulation body 3 and the lower tube seat simulation body 4. The tube body simulation mechanism 2 includes 265 simulated fuel rods and 24 guide tubes. In this embodiment, the number of the outer oxide film simulation tube assemblies 22 is 5, the number of the inner oxide film simulation tube assemblies 23 is 1, the number of the rod diameter test simulation tube assemblies 24 is 2, the number of the breakage test simulation tube bases 25 is 2, and the number of the video test simulation tube bases 26 is 1. The number of the above components can be adjusted according to the actual situation, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0053] Understandably, this full-scale fuel assembly simulation body multi-functional test and verification device simulates the on-site basic fuel rods by setting up the basic simulation tube matrix 21, sets up the outer oxide film simulation tube assembly 22 to provide test functions for the outer oxide film measuring device, sets up the inner oxide film simulation tube assembly 23 to provide test functions for the inner oxide film measuring device, sets up the rod diameter test simulation tube assembly 24 to provide test functions for the rod diameter measuring device, sets up the damaged test simulation tube matrix 25 to simulate the situation of fuel rod damage, and sets up the video test simulation tube matrix 26 to provide test functions for the video detection device. By integrating multiple functions such as oxide film detection, rod diameter measurement detection, damage detection, and video detection, this full-scale fuel assembly simulation body multi-functional test and verification device can provide comprehensive and effective detection functions for the fuel assembly inspection system, ensure the consistency between the detection environment and the actual use environment, thereby improving the reliability of the detection results, and being more accurate and efficient for verifying the usability of the fuel assembly inspection system.

[0054] Such as Figure 2As shown, the outer oxide film simulation tube assembly 22 is installed on the outermost side of the grid simulator 1. The outer oxide film simulation tube assembly 22 includes an outer simulation upper base 221, an outer simulation upper fixing part 222, an outer oxide film calibration part 223, an outer simulation lower fixing part 224, and an outer simulation lower base 225 that are sequentially connected in the axial direction. It can be understood that the outer oxide film simulation tube assembly 22 is used to meet the single-rod detection requirements of the outer fuel rod and the test requirements of the blade-type probe. Different thickness outer oxide film calibration parts 223 can be installed to ensure that the electromagnetic characteristics of the outer oxide film simulation tube assembly 22 are consistent with the on-site situation. The outer oxide film calibration part 223 straddles one of the grid simulators 1, and can simulate the measurement of the oxide film thickness of the outer fuel rod at the position across the grid by the on-site outer oxide film measuring device. In addition, the outer simulation upper base 221 can be threadedly connected to the outer simulation upper fixing part 222, and the outer simulation lower base 225 can be threadedly connected to the outer simulation lower fixing part 224. Both the outer simulation upper fixing part 222 and the outer simulation lower fixing part 224 are provided with connection grooves for connecting with the outer oxide film calibration part 223. The inner parts of the outer simulation upper fixing part 222 and the outer simulation lower fixing part 224 are provided with pins and threads. Both the outer simulation upper fixing part 222 and the outer simulation lower fixing part 224 can be detachably connected to the outer oxide film calibration part 223, and the outer simulation upper fixing part 222 and the outer simulation lower fixing part 224 form a quick-release structure. There are two reasons for setting this quick-release structure: 1. Protect the outer oxide film calibration part 223: The positions inside the grid simulator 1 that contact the outer simulation upper base 221 or the outer simulation lower base 225 are equipped with tight spring pieces. The outer simulation upper base 221 or the outer simulation lower base 225 may be slightly scratched during the process of passing through multiple grid simulators 1. If the outer oxide film calibration part 223 is installed before being inserted into the grid simulator 1, the surface may be scratched, thus affecting subsequent test verification. 2. Material compatibility: For fuel rods of different materials, the corresponding material outer oxide film calibration part 223 can be replaced through the quick-release structure to meet the test requirements of the outer oxide film calibration parts 223 of various materials subsequently.

[0055] In addition, as Figure 4As shown, the inner oxide film simulation tube assembly 23 is installed inside the grid simulator 1. The inner oxide film simulation tube assembly 23 includes an inner simulation upper base 231, an inner simulation upper fixing part 232, an inner oxide film calibration part 233, an inner simulation lower fixing part 234, and an inner simulation lower base 235 that are sequentially connected in the axial direction. The inner oxide film calibration part 233 is arranged between adjacent grid simulators 1. It can be understood that the inner oxide film simulation tube assembly 23 is used to meet the single-rod detection requirements of the inner fuel rod and the test requirements of the blade-type probe. Different thickness inner oxide film calibration parts 233 can be installed to ensure that the electromagnetic characteristics of the inner oxide film simulation tube assembly 23 are consistent with the field. By being arranged between adjacent grid simulators 1, it can simulate the measurement of the oxide film thickness of the fuel rod arranged between adjacent grid simulators 1 by the on-site inner oxide film measuring device. The overall connection structure of the inner oxide film simulation tube assembly 23 is the same as that of the outer oxide film simulation tube assembly 22, and its principle will not be elaborated here.

[0056] As Figure 2 shown, the rod diameter test simulation tube assembly 24 includes a plurality of rod diameter measurement quick-release parts 241, a plurality of rod diameter measurement calibration blocks 242, and a plurality of rod diameter measurement bases 243. Each rod diameter measurement base 243 and each rod diameter measurement calibration block 242 are connected through the rod diameter measurement quick-release part 241. The plurality of rod diameter measurement calibration blocks 242 are solid rods with different diameters. It can be understood that the rod diameter test simulation tube assembly 24 is used to provide a test function for the rod diameter measuring device. The rod diameter measuring device can measure the rod diameter of the rod diameter measurement calibration block 242 through a high-precision sensor. The plurality of rod diameter measurement calibration blocks 242 are solid rods with different diameters and are connected through the rod diameter measurement quick-release part 241 to avoid scratches on the rod diameter measurement calibration block 242 affecting the accuracy of rod diameter measurement. In this embodiment, the number of the rod diameter measurement calibration blocks 242 is 5, and 5 rod diameter measurement calibration blocks 242 with different diameters are installed on the rod diameter measurement base 243 at the same time, and the diameter range covers the diameter change range of the fuel rod during its entire service life.

[0057] As Figure 3As shown in the figure, water seepage holes 251 are provided on the damaged test simulation tube base body 25. It can be understood that the damaged test simulation tube base body 25 is used to simulate the situation of fuel rod damage. By providing water seepage holes 251 on the damaged test simulation tube base body 25, water is infiltrated through the water seepage holes 251 to ensure that the detection simulation of fuel rod damage is closer to the actual environment. The detection principle of the damaged test simulation tube base body 25 is as follows: Ultrasonic wave propagation and reflection. Under normal circumstances, there is a gap filled with helium and fission gas between the cladding of the fuel rod and the fuel particles. When the fuel rod fails, water will infiltrate into this gap. Due to the different propagation characteristics of ultrasonic waves in different media, when ultrasonic waves propagate from the zirconium alloy tube wall (the cladding material of the fuel rod) to the gas or water in the gap, due to the difference in acoustic impedance, reflection will occur. The acoustic impedance of gas is much lower than that of water. Therefore, when the gap is filled with gas, the energy of the reflected ultrasonic wave is less; while when the gap is filled with water, the energy of the reflected ultrasonic wave will increase significantly. The pulse emitted by the ultrasonic probe in the echo signal analysis is reflected multiple times within the fuel rod wall, forming a series of echoes. The amplitude of these echoes will decay as the number of reflections increases. For an undamaged fuel rod, the decay of the echo amplitude is slower; while for a damaged fuel rod, due to the presence of water, the decay of the echo amplitude will be faster. This decay difference is the key to detecting whether the fuel rod is damaged.

[0058] As Figure 3 shown, at least one grid simulation member 1 is provided with a first groove 11, and the video test simulation tube base body 26 is provided with a second groove 261. It can be understood that the setting of the first groove 11 and the second groove 261 is aimed at detecting the wear, fracture and foreign object mixing of the fuel assembly, and can effectively identify the damage of the assembly structure and the influence of external foreign objects. By providing the first groove 11 on the grid simulation member 1 and the second groove 261 on the video test simulation tube base body 26, the first groove 11 and the second groove 261 are video-detected by a video detection device to verify the sensitivity of the video detection device for detecting the fuel assembly in an underwater environment.

[0059] In this embodiment, a verification method for a full-size fuel assembly simulation body multi-functional test verification device is also constructed. Based on the above-mentioned full-size fuel assembly simulation body multi-functional test verification device, it includes the following steps:

[0060] S1. Install the basic simulation tube base body 21, the outer oxide film simulation tube assembly 22, the inner oxide film simulation tube assembly 23, the rod diameter test simulation tube assembly 24 and the damaged test simulation tube base body 25 on multiple grid simulation members 1;

[0061] S2. Use the outer oxide film measuring device to measure the thickness of the outer oxide film calibration piece 223 of the outer oxide film simulation tube assembly 22;

[0062] S3. Use the inner oxide film measuring device to measure the thickness of the inner oxide film calibration piece 233 of the inner oxide film simulation tube assembly 23;

[0063] S4. Use the rod diameter measuring device to measure the rod diameters of the multiple rod diameter measuring calibration blocks 242 of the rod diameter test simulation tube assembly 24;

[0064] S5. Process a first groove 11 on one of the grid simulation pieces 1, process a second groove 261 on the video test simulation tube matrix 26, and use the video detection device to perform video detection on the first groove 11 and the second groove 261;

[0065] S6. Make water seep in through the water seepage holes 251 on the damaged test simulation tube matrix 25 to simulate the situation of fuel rod damage.

[0066] In addition, during the process of installing the outer oxide film simulation tube assembly 22 on the grid simulation piece 1, first install it using an outer oxide film sacrificial piece with the same shape as the outer oxide film calibration piece 223, and replace the outer oxide film sacrificial piece with the outer oxide film calibration piece 223 after the rod pulling process of the outer oxide film simulation tube assembly 22;

[0067] During the process of installing the inner oxide film simulation tube assembly 23 on the grid simulation piece 1, first install it using an inner oxide film sacrificial piece with the same shape as the inner oxide film calibration piece 233, and replace the inner oxide film sacrificial piece with the inner oxide film calibration piece 233 after the rod pulling process of the inner oxide film simulation tube assembly 23;

[0068] During the process of installing the rod diameter test simulation tube assembly 24 on the grid simulation piece 1, first install it using a rod diameter measuring sacrificial piece with the same shape as the rod diameter measuring calibration block 242, and replace the rod diameter measuring sacrificial piece with the rod diameter measuring calibration block 242 after the rod pulling process of the rod diameter test simulation tube assembly 24.

[0069] The above installation process can prevent the spring pieces of the grid strips from scratching the outer oxide film calibration piece 223, the inner oxide film calibration piece 233, and the rod diameter measuring calibration block 242 during the rod pulling process.

[0070] In step S5, by using the artificial electric spark or laser grooving method on one of the grid simulation pieces 1, the first groove 11 is processed on the grid simulation piece 1; by using the artificial electric spark or laser grooving method on the video test simulation tube matrix 26, the second groove 261 is processed on the video test simulation tube matrix 26. Use the video detection device to perform video detection on the first groove 11 and the second groove 261 to verify the sensitivity of the video detection device for detecting the fuel assembly in the underwater environment.

[0071] Understandably, the above embodiments only represent the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, it should not be construed as a limitation to the scope of the patent for the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several deformations and improvements can also be made, which all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
